Course Outline: Students are moving towards being able to explain how people working in design and technologies occupations consider factors that impact on design decisions and the technologies used to produce products, services and environments. They identify the changes necessary to designed solutions to realise preferred futures they have described. When producing designed solutions for identified needs or opportunities students evaluate the features of technologies and their appropriateness for purpose for one or more of the technologies contexts.
Students create designed solutions for one or more of the technologies contexts based on a critical evaluation of needs or opportunities. They establish detailed criteria for success, including sustainability considerations, and use these to evaluate their ideas and designed solutions and processes. They create and connect design ideas and processes of increasing complexity and justify decisions. Students communicate and document projects, including marketing for a range of audiences. They independently and collaboratively apply sequenced production and management plans when producing designed solutions, making adjustments to plans when necessary. They select and use appropriate technologies skilfully and safely to produce high quality designed solutions suitable for the intended purpose.
Topics Included:
Students will develop skills in Woodturning, Welding, construction of jigs, machine and power tools and CAD (Computer Aided Design). Projects will be based around individual designs and develop skills students have gained in previous Technology units. Students will design projects using a CAD package and utilise CAM (Computer Aided Machining) and cutting technologies in their studies to produce their product.
Assessment:
Investigation
Design and Planning
Practical Activities using safe procedures and practices
Length of course: Semester
Recommended: Students must have chosen Year 9 Materials and Technology A as well.
