The EEP is an extension program in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). This provides students with the opportunity to experience unique specialist units in the field of STEM.
The 4-year program from Years 7 to 10 encompasses units including robotics, coding, sustainability, statics, dynamics & food science that provide an immersive and rich learning environment for students where students will respond to a range of real-world engineering challenges. In partnership with universities, students also participate in science and engineering workshops and competitions.
This includes participating in the QUT Science and Engineering Challenge, Engineers without Borders, Aurecon Bridge Building Competition and STEMFest. Most impressively, students are offered the unique opportunity to participate in an international study tour to NASA Space Camp in Florida, USA.
This experience illuminates real-world applications of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics where students will work collaboratively to problem solve and engage in critical thinking - 21st Century skills essential for any future vocation.
These studies will pave the way for students to move to Senior Engineering, Mathematics and Science subjects at the College with the aim to continue in these areas at a University level.
Entry is determined by a review of submitted application form, report cards and behaviour/effort information as well as the successful completion of an entrance exam, which has a non-refundable administration fee.
Fees: Course fees apply for the Engineering Excellence Program. Please refer to the Fees Matrix on the College website.
