This unit introduces students to the use of materials in an engineering context. Students will learn the properties used to classify materials from an engineering perspective, and how these are determined. Students will apply this knowledge to characterise materials using experimental testing and then compare this to supplier data. Using these results, students will identify treatments and...

In this unit you will develop practical skills that will assist you to communicate with technical staff and tradespeople in the maritime industry. You will apply a range of engineering techniques while gaining the necessary skills to safely and efficiently command, and operate the engines, of small vessels by completing a Certificate II in Maritime Operations (Coxswains Grade 1 Near Coastal). You...
