Systems Technology

Year 11 and 12 VCE Systems Engineering students identify problems or opportunities that they can address by researching, designing, and building creative solutions. Students are encouraged to align their interests to their project choice.

Skills obtained over the years will include:

• Computer aided design (CAD) of enclosures, figurines, mechanical parts, and electronic circuits,
• How to use motorised movement in robots and cars, light and sound, and tap into the world of IoT, and sensorsto interact with our world.
• Maker techniques including 3D printing and laser cutting
• Testing and fault analysis of build projects, practicals, and teacher demonstrations
• Coding of microcontrollers in their projects to ‘bring them to life’
• Documentation of process, safety, evaluation and evidence of their design and building outcomes
• How to use online platforms for 3D modelling, circuit design, circuit simulation, coding, enclosure design, and adding content to GitHub and Instructables
