Level 2 Materials and Processing Technology Wood

The Level 2 Wood Materials course integrates Wood Materials Technology with Design Technology, allowing students to explore both the practical and creative aspects of product design using wood materials. In this course, students will identify a real-world issue, then design and manufacture a solution using woodworking skills and design principles. Students have the flexibility to focus on Materials Technology standards, Design and Visual Communication standards, or a combination of both, tailoring their learning to their interests and career aspirations.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Develop practical woodworking skills and understand the properties and uses of different wood materials.
• Gain proficiency in using CAD software and workshop tools for product design and manufacturing.
• Learn to effectively communicate design ideas through various presentation methods.
• Understand and apply design principles to create functional and aesthetically pleasing products.
• Explore technological processes involved in the transformation of wood materials into final products.
