Course Description
By the end of Year 10, students will be able to create a design solution based on a student design brief/challenge.
This course provides the opportunity to:
- Create a design solution based on a student design brief / challenge.
- Develop understanding of technical drawing practices used in the construction and manufacturing sectors such as drafting, modelling and 3D prototyping.
- Develop understanding of techniques and methods that reflect the Australian Standards.
- Learn about 2 and 3 dimensional drawing systems and gain experience in the use of CAD software E.g. Autodesk Inventor.
Students will learn to use the design process to develop a solution to a given problem, producing a work plan and sketch prior to modelling. They will develop skills in evaluating final products against the given design brief and identification of possible modifications.
Assessment
Assessment types include a sequence of practical Skills Tasks, written research Tasks, a Practical Test, and a Major Design Project that is documented through a multimodal Design Folio.
Student achievement is assessed according to the Design & Technology Achievement Standards outlined in the Australian Curriculum, with A-E Grades used for reporting.
