Materials

The unit focus and areas of study:

This unit is designed for students to advance their design and technical skills to construct projects. Students will develop the necessary skills and techniques involved in creating their products.

Students will research and analyse materials, develop product design ideas through annotated sketches, produce materials pieces using a range of appropriate tools and techniques, and evaluate their production. Throughout this unit, students will use a range of advanced tools, techniques and equipment to specified degrees of accuracy and precision. Students will develop an awareness of Australian Standards and their relationship to technological innovation and application. An investigation will be made into the development of specific materials as students develop investigating, designing, construction and evaluating skills. The unit is mainly practical with some investigation into materials, methods of production and design development required.

Special Requirements:

Students are expected to purchase their materials through the school. Students require an A3 sketch book and an A4 display book. Costs vary based on the amount and type of materials chosen.

Other:

Cost will be approximately $40.
