Year 10 - Systems Engineering

Year 10 - Systems Engineering

Overview

Year 10 Systems Engineering utilises mechanical and electro-technological principles to create a working project. Basic skills in the use of tools, equipment and machines are essential, although due to advancements in technology, students will be using CAD to generate 3D models and laser cutting plastics to produce a working model. Students will gain skills such as soldering, CAD drawing and component identification as well as electrical theory and circuit construction.
