Engineering studies

Both Preliminary and HSC courses offer students' knowledge, understanding and skills in aspects of engineering that include communication, engineering mechanics/hydraulics, including stress, strain and fraction 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.

Preliminary Course

Students undertake the study and develop skills and understanding in the fields of engineering in the following:

• Engineering Fundamentals
• Engineered products
• Braking Systems
• Biomedical Engineering

HSC Course

Students undertake the study and develop an engineering report for each of 4 modules:

• Civil Structures
• Personal and Public Transport
• Aeronautical Engineering
• Telecommunications Engineering

Two reports must be produced in both the Prelim and HSC Course

Students develop an engineering report for each module studied.

At least one report in each of the Preliminary and the HSC courses must be the result of collaborative work.
