Materials Extension

The unit focus and areas of study:

This is open to all students and does not exclude those students who have not completed Materials in the above. 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 products. They will research and analyse the materials, develop product design ideas through annotated sketches, produce product pieces using appropriate tools and techniques, and evaluate their production. Students will use a range of advanced tools, techniques and equipment to specified degrees of accuracy and precision. They develop an awareness of Australian Standards, technological innovation and application. They will investigate the development of structural strengths as students develop investigating, designing, construction and evaluating skills. The unit is mainly practical with additional work on material studies, methods of production and design development.

Special Requirements:

Students will be responsible for materials.
