DESIGN TECHNOLOGY: RESISTANT MATERIALS

The course will provide opportunity for practical designing and making largely through wood, metal and plastics, and questions on the examination paper will be limited to these materials.  Coursework, however, allows for a rich variety of materials, e.g. textiles, ceramics, glass and a variety of approaches, from jewellery to constructional projects.

Students will learn to use a wide range of communication techniques including sketching, 3-dimensional model making, presentation drawing, technical illustration and computer graphics. 

A design folder will use these skills to present a single integrated project, which will result in a quality single design and make project will be submitted for assessment during the second year of the course. It is anticipated that students will sit the design exam in the first year.
