Engineering studies
Number of Units: 2
ATAR Category: A
Course Fee: $60 per annum
Description:
This course provides students with the opportunity to study engineering by investigating a range of applications and fields of engineering. Students learn about historical and societal influences, the scope of the profession and develop skills in technical communication. Students apply knowledge of engineering mechanics, hydraulics, electricity, electronics and engineering materials to solve engineering problems.
Course requirements:
Course must be studied with: Nil
Course cannot be studied with: Nil
Major work(s): Nil
Other course requirement(s): Preliminary 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 .
HSC 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 Preliminary course and one engineering report from the HSC course must be the result of collaborative work, reflecting the importance of teamwork for successful engineering projects.
Course fee will cover: Textbooks, consumables, equipment
Additional resourcing requirements for the course: calculator, stationary/drawing equipment.
