This year we do not have an Advanced Higher class for Engineering Science. 

The course comprises three areas of study.

Electronics and Control

You will:

• explore a range of key concepts and devices related to electronic control systems
• develop mathematical techniques, problem solving and evaluating skills through simulation and practical projects
• choose and investigate an aspect of engineering related to electronic, electrical or control engineering, and apply this in practical situations.

Mechanisms and Structures

You will:

• develop a deepening mathematical understanding of mechanisms and structures
• develop problem solving and evaluating skills through simulation, practical projects and investigative tasks in a range of contexts
• choose and investigate an aspect of engineering related to mechanical or civil engineering, and apply this in practical situations.

Engineering Project Management

You will:

• develop knowledge and skills of project management, as it applies to an engineering projects
• investigate a real-world engineering project, and consider its environmental, social and ethical impact
• select an appropriately challenging engineering problem
• carry out research in relation to the problem, and develop a proposal for a solution to the problem. 

How will I be assessed?

The course assessment consists of two components totalling 150 marks:

• Component 1: Question paper (75 marks)
• Component 2: Project (75 marks).

For the project you will be asked to develop a solution to a complex engineering problem.

The grade awarded is based on the total marks achieved across course assessment. The course assessment is graded A-D.
