Industrial Technology - Graphics

In the Preliminary course, students must acquire knowledge and understanding of:

• 2D/3D drawings, 

• CAD programs, 

• Rendering Techniques, 

• Mechanical Drawing, 

• Sketching Architectural styles, 

• Perspective Drawings, 

• Drawing Presentation, 

• Model Making, 

• AS1100 & AS1100.301 standards; and

• Operate at least one software package to communicate a design solution or process. (3D printer, laser cutter, plotter.)

In the HSC course, the students must demonstrate an understanding of a range of processes and techniques through the completion of a Major Project. 

The assessment programs will consist of practical & theory based assessment tasks. It  will require students to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the organisation, management and manufacturing processes and techniques used by the Graphics industry. Students will also demonstrate knowledge, skills and understanding in designing, managing, problem solving, communicating and in  the safe use of manufacturing processes and techniques through the design of a Major Project. 

Topics, task weightings and specific requirements for each course are distributed to students at the commencement of study via their Assessment Handbook.

There is a 1.5 hour external examination for students undertaking the course which involves multiple choice questions, short answer and extended response questions relating to the tools, techniques, processes used and characteristics of the Graphics Industry. 

Students in the Industrial Technology - Graphics Technologies course cover a range of topics during the Preliminary and HSC courses.

In the HSC course students select and apply appropriate design, management and production skills in the development of a Major Graphics Project and the supporting documentation.
