Stage 6 Engineering Studies
Studying to become an engineer
If you want to become an engineer you will need your Higher School Certificate and you may need some specific subjects that will help you when you enter TAFE or University. These are called pre-requisites.
- Pre-requisites for Studying Engineering at University or TAFE
It is not possible to leave school and enter the engineering profession without first completing a suitable training course. Different courses are available to meet the training needs for each of the three categories of engineering — professional engineers, engineering technicians or engineering associates.
If you are considering engineering as a probable career for the future then you will need to focus your secondary school studies to meet the requirements of the various training courses at University or TAFE.
Some details about school subject pre-requisites are available by visiting the Engineers Australia web site http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/careers/faqs/faqs_home.cfm
