COURSE NO LONGER OFFERED - REMOVED for 2018 Subject Code:2CCA10
Length of course: Semester Credit points and TAS status: 10 Credit TAS
Recommended Background: Nil
Precluded combinations with current SACE subjects: None
Course Outline:
Students identify, create, initiate, and develop products, processes, or systems. They learn to use tools, materials, and systems safely and competently to complete a product.
Students explore technologies in both contemporary and historical settings, and analyse the impacts of technology, including social, environmental, and sustainable consequences. In this focus area, students use images, sounds, or other data to design and make products that communicate information.
Topics Included:
The program has a focus on CAD-based production and analysis of 3D computer models. Throughout the program student learning is focused on the use of parametric 3D modelling and rendering techniques, in particular in the use of Autodesk Inventor. The program has a practical (CAD-based) orientation with investigation, planning, producing and evaluation tasks built in to major and minor practical projects.
These topics have been chosen because they provide a foundation for further study in the Information Technology/Engineering/Industrial Design/Architecture fields and are appealing and accessible to students of varying experience and ability in the use of CAD software.
The content focus is on developing the student's skills and knowledge in 3D parametric modelling systems through modelling activities within Autodesk Inventor. This will lead to the opportunity to develop product solutions using the problem-solving approach of the systems development life-cycle to build their 3D model(s).
Assessment:
For a 10-credit subject, students should provide evidence of their learning through three or four assessments, including the external assessment component. Students undertake:
