What part(s) of Year 11 and 12 Physics is mainly required or seen or need to be known as a prerequisite for Engineering. What does university engineering and high school physics have in common from a basis point of view?

To be honest, not much. Other HSC subjects such as 3/4u maths, Engineering studies cover just as much, if not more, of the content you may encounter in first year uni physics. The mechanics parts of the space topic in HSC Physics comes to mind as something you will see in uni physics.

Besides that it depends on your major, uni or what subjects you end up studying. A lot of the content that may be repeated (i.e. transformers in an EE subject) will usually be covered in ~5-10 minutes in a lecture anyway.

all my friends from engo say physics helped them a lot in physics 1A, but I don't study engo having studied phyics so guess I can't speak for it

at UNSW engo physics is as useful for engineering as Modern History
