Engineering includes the study of mechanics, materials science and motion technologies through real-world engineering contexts where students engage in problem-based learning. Students learn to explore complex, open-ended problems and develop engineered solutions. Students will learn physics and engineering concepts to describe problems, determine solution success criteria, develop and communicate ideas and predict, generate, evaluate and refine prototype solutions.
Engineering provides students with an opportunity to experience first-hand the exciting and dynamic work of real-world engineers. The course involves the learning and practical application of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to develop sustainable products, processes and services. Engineering requires the application of technical and social knowledge to solve problems in ways that meet the needs of today’s and future generations.
This subject provides a foundation for further studies of Engineering in Years 11 and 12. The skills developed may also have application to other (Humanities/ Science/Arts/Technology) subjects. For pathways beyond school, please refer to the senior course descriptions.
