Engineering is at the heart of how societies design, create, and improve the world around us. From restoring and sustaining our environment to developing innovative solutions that enhance quality of life, technologies and manufacturing play a vital role in shaping the future.
The Engineering Skills syllabus introduces students to the practices and processes of Australia’s manufacturing and engineering industries. By exploring both traditional and contemporary tools, materials, and methods, students gain the knowledge, understanding, and practical skills needed to transform raw materials into products valued by society. This applied learning also highlights the industry’s contribution to employment and economic growth across Australia.
Students learn through trade-based contexts that reflect real-world industry standards. They apply industry practices that guide how products are managed and manufactured, while developing production skills that emphasise accuracy, efficiency, and quality. Learning experiences are designed to be flexible, allowing teachers to adapt content to local needs, available resources, and their own expertise.
