Subject Content
Subject Content
The emphasis in this subject is towards the understanding of materials and processes, leading to the realisation of individual designs. Students should apply their knowledge to the selection of materials. They will essentially be working with Wood, Metal and Plastic, but should not discount other materials when required. They must research their ideas and express their designs in a variety of ways. This process should then lead to the construction of a product. Their projects should consider the use of industrial practices together with CAD/CAM production.
