Course Overview
In Design, Technology and Engineering students use the design and realisation process to engineer solutions for the development of products or systems. Students may:
• 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.
• Learn in-camera techniques with not only professional D-SLR cameras but are guided in getting the most from their own personal smartphone camera.
