Course Content
The world is changing rapidly around us as computers combine with modern materials to make new opportunities that were only possible in dreams previously. Mechanisation and automation are dramatically changing the employment landscape as simple labouring jobs disappear and creative design-based careers emerge.
The careers of tomorrow are yet to be invented.
How do we best prepare for a future where your dream job doesn’t even exist yet?
The engineering design process will be at the heart of many of our future occupations, both those traditional jobs that survive the technical revolution and those that emerge from it. By studying the engineering design process, we can build skills that are both creative and systematic. Skills that will allow us to adapt to any eventuality.
The engineering elective on offer in Year 10 will find students planning, building and testing moving structures using the design process introduced in mainstream science. The engineering electives are for those students interested in gaining a better understanding of the design process through practical experience in project-based learning.
Assessment
Assessments for this course could include tests, assignments, research reports and investigations.
