ATAR
The Authority is reviewing the ATAR syllabuses. For more information see the Syllabus Review section below.
The Engineering Studies ATAR course provides opportunities for students to investigate, research and present information through a design process, and then undertake project management to make a functioning product. These activities provide students with opportunities to apply engineering processes, understand underpinning scientific and mathematical principles, develop engineering technology skills and to understand the interrelationships between engineering projects and society.

General
The Authority is reviewing the ATAR syllabuses. For more information see the Syllabus Review section below.
The Engineering Studies General course is essentially a practical course focusing on real-life contexts. Students apply a design process to research and present information about materials, engineering principles, concepts and ideas, and design proposals. Students develop their engineering technology skills in planning and implementing a process to manipulate tools and machines to produce a prototype of their designed solution.
