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 Children’s Chair Project from solid timber.
- Learn about and test material properties and characteristics to make informed choices to create and manufacture a cladded blanket box or negotiated project.
- Learn to create a design brief that provides the basis for the development of potential solutions to design problems.
- 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. This fee is for the Solid Timber Project and approximate cost is $70.
