On returning to the campus, Year 12 student Sam Green was able to demonstrate a 3D printer he had constructed for his project for his VCE Systems Engineering class. Sam's project was exceptional and is extremely impressive considering the challenges due to the lack of practical classes during remote learning and the difficulty of sourcing electronic components to construct this project. He was highly motivated to complete this project on his own.
The Study Design for the subject says: “Students commence work on the creation of an integrated and controlled system using the systems engineering process. This production work has a strong emphasis on innovation, designing, producing, testing and evaluating. Students manage the project, taking into consideration the factors that will influence the creation and use of their integrated and controlled system.”
VCE Systems Engineering promotes innovative systems thinking and problem-solving skills through the application of the systems engineering process. Designers use 3D printers to quickly create product models and prototypes, but they are increasingly being used to make final products, as well.
Well done Sam on a terrific project.
