NSW Department of Education requirements for teachers seeking approval to teach Engineering Studies

Approved secondary teachers requesting additional approval to teach Engineering Studies are required to complete a minor (4 content subjects at degree level with 2 of these at second year above) in engineering drawn from areas such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronic engineering or relevant discipline including studies of the application of engineering principles and methods, management and problem-solving in engineering contexts, responsibilities of engineers in society and design thinking and problem-based thinking as used in the engineering profession.

Additionally, teachers must also complete TAS method and curriculum studies, including a relevant in-school based experience (or be exempted based on current teaching experience).

Alternatively, experienced teachers who have verified skills and experience in TAS not covered in their initial teacher training may be eligible for additional accreditation based on teaching experience. A minimum of two years full-time relevant experience or equivalent part-time experience in NSW public schools is necessary within the last five years. Experience in teaching the additional subject to Year 11 and Year 12 senior classes is required. The teacher is to have taught a load sufficient for the principal to attest to classification as a teacher of the subject.
