Design & Technology - Metal Focus

Students use of a diverse range of manufacturing technologies such as tools, machines, and/or systems to create a product using appropriate materials. Students produce outcomes that demonstrate the knowledge and skills associated with using systems, processes, and materials such as metals, plastics, wood, composites, ceramics and textiles.

Learning requirements: In this subject, students engage in the design and realisation process and are expected to:

1. review design features, processes, materials, and production techniques and apply creative thinking to the design of a solution
2. plan and develop design concepts, and communicate potential features of — and solutions
   to — a problem or challenge
3. apply knowledge and understanding of skills, engineering procedures, and techniques, using technology to realise the solution
4. evaluate processes used in design development and solution realisation
5. research and discuss ethical, legal, economic, and/or sustainability issues related to technology, materials selected, processes used, and/or solution design.

Please note, an additional fee of $25.00 (GST free) per semester is required for student’s participation in this course
