• 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.

Course requirements

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.
