Students assume the role of designer and maker and they design and make a functional product. A combination of traditional and new materials associated with wood, metal or plastics with increasing importance on environmental sustainability.

The course has 3 components:


 * Investigating & Designing**: Gaining inspiration through research and developing design ideas through sketching and 3D modelling software.
 * Producing**: using a range of materials and techniques and processes to make and assemble their design.
 * Analysing & Evaluating**: Analysing and reflecting on their work and the work of others.

A major research written task and a semester exam are also carried out. Specifically students will:


 * Undertake and complete the design process.


 * Use 3 D modelling software to visualize designs and produce working drawings.


 * Recognize and compare the properties and characteristics of materials and identify their suitability in a designed object.


 * Select and use tools, equipment and materials safely and appropriately.


 * Manage and manipulate resources to suit design requirements.


 * Reflect on the design process and analyse and evaluate their final outcome.
