Subject Code: 2MMA20 Credit points and TAS status: 20 Credit TAS Length of course: Full year Recommended Background: Satisfactory completion of Stage 1 Material Products Wood.
Precluded combinations with current MHS SACE subjects:
Computer Aided Manufacturing
Course Outline: Students develop the ability to initiate, crate and develop products or systems in response to a design brief. They learn to use tools, materials and systems safely and competently to complete a product.
Students analyse the impacts of technology, including consequences for individuals, society and the environment. They use a range of manufacturing technologies such as tools, machines, equipment, and/or systems to design and make products with resistant materials.
Topics Included:
Students will further develop and extend their technological skills through the wood medium. Students will be involved in the study of furniture technology. The course structure and assessment will explore the design and manufacture of furniture and a study of associated theory and systems as well as the impact of technological practices on the environment. Students use the design process to create an individual folio of work that documents their research and records their product ideas and development. The course is based on students individual interests and it is expected all students design a comprehensive product and apply their knowledge and skills in a practical environment.
Assessment:
