Applied Computing
Duration One Unit
This subject is designed to support students in a career in computing and software. Students will develop software, websites and utilise other digital skills to manage data flows and design and create digital solutions using coding and algorithmic thinking. Emphasis is placed on design thinking, coding techniques, algorithm design and debugging.
Additionally, there will be an element of game design theory using the Unity 3D software platform and VR headsets. The subject consists of the development of key skills and knowledge of how to create 3D computer games using Unity 3D software and VR headsets. The program’s focus is to develop sound software develop-ment skills in the field of game design.
This course provides a good background for those who are contemplating further studies of computing.

Engineering
Duration One Unit
Brief Description
This subject is designed to give students a strong base in both the theory and practice of three key engineering fields: Electronics, Civil, and Mechanical. Developing key skills and knowledge for engineering, boost critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, and set students up for success in more advanced Systems Engineering courses. By combining classroom learning with real-world projects, this course will deepen their understanding of how engineering principles can be applied to solve complex problems in the world around them. It will support students in understanding and using CAD Software, as well as safely working with tools and equipment in the workshop and using Laser Cutters, CNC, and 3D Printers for Engineering.
Assessment
Bookwork – Completion of theoretical knowledge around engineering.
Project work - Completion of major project.
Appropriate use of tools and equipment in the classroom
Cost: $30 (materials and resources)
