The Engineering curriculum ensures that all students:
• engage in a range of intellectual and practical processes in order to solve problems through the production of engineered outcomes
• develop knowledge and understanding of materials, components and resources relating to engineering
• develop knowledge and understanding of engineering processes and be able to apply these where appropriate in order to produce a manufactured outcome
• draw on knowledge, skills and understanding of materials, processes and techniques in order to engineer products which provide a functioning solution in response to a given brief
• develop an understanding of how emerging technologies (in areas such as materials science, information technology (IT) and communications, energy, medicine and robotics) have changed and will continue to change the way in which engineered products are made and used
• develop an understanding of health and safety procedures and be able to carry out practical activities in a safe way
• develop an awareness and understanding of the impact of engineering on the environment and sustainable development
• develop skills, knowledge and understanding as a foundation for future learning and progression, in relation to engineering and other related disciplines
• apply their knowledge and understanding of mathematical concepts in an engineering related context
