Course Outline
The Engineering Studies ATAR course provides opportunities for students to investigate, research and present information, design and make products and undertake project development, all under a Mechatronics specialisation.
These opportunities allow students to apply engineering processes, understand underpinning scientific and mathematical principles, develop engineering technology skills and explore the interrelationships between engineering and society.
The Engineering Studies ATAR (Mechatronics) course is essentially a practical course focusing on real-life contexts. It aims to prepare students for a future in an increasingly technological world by providing the foundation for life-long learning about engineering.
It is particularly suited to those students who are interested in engineering and technical industries as future careers.
In the development of engineering projects students study core engineering theory and Mechatronics theory. They develop an understanding of different forms of energy, uses of these different forms, and sources of renewable and non-renewable energy.
Students develop and respond to design briefs before documenting the specifications of their chosen designs. They then produce, test and evaluate the products they produce in class. It is essential students taking part in this course have their own laptop due to the programming requirements.
