Content: In Design, Technology and Engineering students use the design and realisation process to engineer solutions for the development of products or systems. Students:
- Learn and apply skills, processes and techniques to produce a product using CNC Machinery.
- Learn to create a design brief that provides the basis for the development of potential solutions to design problems.
- Learn about and test material properties and characteristics to make informed choices to create and manufacture a flat pack furniture project.
- Review design features, processes, materials and production techniques to assist with the realisation of the solution. A solution in this subject is an outcome of the design and realisation process in relation to the chosen context.
- Apply appropriate skills, processes, procedures and techniques whilst implementing safe work practices in the creation of the solution.
Assessment: Students are assessed using the SACE Performance Standards. Students demonstrate evidence of their learning through the following assessment types:
- Assessment Type 1: Specialised Skills Task
- Assessment Type 2: Design Folio
Additional Charges: A fee applies to participate in this subject in addition to the CHS Materials and Service charges. The fee for take home projects is $60.
