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. This course leads into the A level Product Design course very well and is the recommended route.

The students will need to equip themselves with writing and drawing instruments. Materials for the major project will normally come from departmental stock, unless the project is large or an unusual material, in which case these will need to be bought in by the Pupil. Specialist materials must be supplied by the student, or paid for by the student/parents when ordered to be delivered to School.
