Learners will take a given design brief and develop it to a final concept, generating ideas by applying research, graphics and modelling techniques. Existing commercial products will be examined and evaluated. The Unit is also designed to enable the learner to develop an understanding of the impact of design and manufacturing technologies on our environment and society.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Materials and Manufacturing\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 The general aim of this Unit is to develop the learner\u2019s skills and creativity in manufacturing a product or prototype based on a given a design concept. The aim includes developing an appreciation and application of the properties and uses of materials. Learners will manufacture models and prototypes, applying a range of practical skills. The Unit is designed to enable the learner to develop an understanding of the impact of materials and manufacturing on design and the environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C<\/strong><strong>ourse Assessment\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 The course will be assessed by a combination of an assignment and an externally assessed question paper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Homework<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Homework will be issued regularly and deadlines are issued on Microsoft teams. Practice in past paper style questions are gradually introduced after time is spent on a series of formal homework exercises. Folio work needs to be taken seriously and true pupil expertise can only be developed through continual practice and refinement at home.<\/p>\n<p>Pupils are urged to take an interest in all aspects of product and industrial design. This will involve trawling websites and developing insight into the subject by familiarising themselves with the content of many of the extensive collection of design books in the departmental library.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-container fix\">\n<div class=\"entry fix\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Additonal Revision Resources (all will be found on teams)<\/h1>\n<h3>Materials &amp;
