Industrial Design
In this course students will choose a focus from the areas of Industry and Entrepreneurial Solutions, Robotic and Electronic Systems, Digital Communication Solutions, and Material Products. Within each focus there is learning about investigating and analysing the purpose, design features, materials or resources and production techniques.
Students will develop design briefs, deconstruct problems, and plan, realise and evaluate possible solutions. Students will opt to be assessed using one of the SACE Design, Technology and Engineering Focus Areas, outlined below.
| Choose a Focus Area: | Examples of choices within the area : |
|---|---|
| Industry & Entrepreneurial Solutions | Architecture, transport design, aerospace, maritime, food industry, etc. equipment |
| Robotic & Electronic Systems | Robotics, microcontrollers such as Arduino, biomedical engineering, autonomous systems, mechanical systems, pneumatic and/or hydraulic systems, loT and sensors, communications |
| Digital Communication Solutions | Graphics, photography, app development, CAD/CAM, digital animation, sound, web design. May also include application of a general- purpose programming language such as C++,java, python. |
| Material Products | Composite materials, plastics, jewellery manufacturing This may use 3D printers and/or laser cutters |
