Engineering

Ellenbrook Christian College offers Mechatronics Engineering as an elective subject in Year 9 and Year 10.

This program builds on the STEM program in the earlier years and focuses on equipping students with the necessary skills to continue with Engineering as a subject in Year 11 and Year 12.

Building race cars and battlebots are a fun and practical way for students to grow to love Engineering. As the courses become more complex in Year 11, they will be attempting to build semi-autonomous systems, leading to fully autonomous applications in Year 12.
