2 units for each of Year 11 & Year 12
Board Developed Category A
Exclusions: Nil
Course Costs: $10.00
Both Year 11 and Year 12 courses offer students knowledge, understanding and skills in aspects of engineering that include communication, engineering mechanics/hydraulics, engineering materials, historical/societal influences, engineering electricity/electronics, and the scope of the profession. Students study engineering by investigating a range of applications and fields of engineering.
The Year 11 Course Students undertake the study of 4 compulsory modules:
- three application modules based on engineering concepts and impacts through the study of engineering products. Engineering concepts and impacts are studied in each of the following categories: engineering fundamentals, engineering products and braking systems
- one focus module relating to the field of Biomedical engineering.
The Year 12 Course
Students undertake the study of 4 compulsory modules:
- two application modules relating to the fields of Civil Structures and Personal and Public Transport
- two focus modules relating to the fields of Aeronautical Engineering and Telecommunications Engineering.
Particular Course Requirements - Engineering Report
Year 11 Course - Students are required to produce a component of an engineering report in Engineering application module 3, Braking systems, and then a complete engineering report in Engineering focus module 4, Biomedical engineering.
Year 12 Course - Students are required to produce one engineering report from either of the two engineering application modules, and one from either of the two engineering focus modules.
One engineering report from the Year 11 course and one engineering report from the Year 12 course must be the result of collaborative work, reflecting the importance of teamwork for successful engineering projects.
