The Program

Sandgate District State High

School in conjunction with

Formula Student™ will be offering

their students the opportunity to

participate in the Formula High

School™ program starting in 2016.

This exciting program will develop

underpinning skills and

knowledge in Sandgate DSHS

students looking towards an OP

outcome and further studies in

the engineering field.

Background

The Formula High School™

program has similarities to

Formula SAE program, a project

utilised by Australia’s leading

universities to develop work

ready skills in university students.

Formula SAE is a design

development program where

undergraduate students design

and build a race vehicle.

Formula Student

Formula High School develops the

building skills up-front, giving

students an advantage not only in

the build stage but also giving

students the edge to design for

manufacture.

Are you looking for an exciting

way to learn practical engineering

skills and practices to underpin

your future learning?

Would you like to learn these

skills while building a race car!!!

Improve your:

ability to apply knowledge of

basic science and engineering

fundamentals

technical competence

time management

leadership & communication

when manufacturing suspension,

building a Space Frame Chassis

and much more!

Delivery

The Formula High School™

program has been developed by

Formula student™ for students to

gain work ready outcomes while

they complete a MEM20413

Certificate II in Engineering

Pathways.

The program was developed to be

specifically project-based, utilising

online instruction combined with

face-to-face practical facilitation.

It is specifically designed to

encourage students to want to

learn and assist them in tacitly

developing work ready skills.

It is important to note that while

the students are engaged in

learning to build a race vehicle,

the program is not “about”

motorsport. Motorsport is used

to get students interested in

learning. You could say our

students are “racing to learn”.

Not just for the Boys

Engineering isn’t just for the boys.

Formula Student™ encourages

young women to become

involved in engineering. This is a

great opportunity to gain

experience in engineering and

discover pathways to a fulfilling

career in an inclusive program

encouraging participation from

both young men and women. You

may be surprised how much fun

and how rewarding it can be!

Formula High School™ Program

Workplace Simulation

Formula Student™

implements MRP software

(material resource planning)

Underpinning Formula Student™

programs is the use of industry

standard practices and

methodologies. We use MRP (material

requirements planning) software to

reinforce the Simulated Workshop

experience and develop work ready

skills in our students.

The use of MRP software

assists us in tracking student activities

while assigning tasks to students with

the use of job cards, just like in

industry. MRP software also allows us

to track time spent on tasks and

compare to suggested times and

provide feedback to student.

With training carried out in a

Simulated Workshop Environment,

you not only learn practical skills but

also prepare yourself for work.

Formula Student™ programs develop

additional knowledge such as:

Understanding Job Cards

Learning about quality assurance

Project work

Working within a team environment

Who you are as an “internal

customer” and who are your internal

customers.

And much more!

Its, just like being in industry.

Not just engineering skills

While the MEM20413 Certificate II in

Engineering Pathways is an

engineering qualification, the work

ready skills and outcomes developed

throughout the course fit a range of

occupations providing program

participants a range of general work

ready knowledge and learning along

with team-building skills and much

more.

Enrol early so you don’t

miss out
