Design and Technology Project

Abstract

This subject builds on prior learning in the practice of design and use of technologies, tools, materials and equipment, as students demonstrate skills of designing and managing a coherent design project. Students will: understand the relationships between design, technology, creativity, innovation and enterprise; apply design concepts, criteria and considerations to technology processes and production skills; and implement ways of communicating, evaluating, assessing, reporting on and presenting a designed product, system, service or environment. The subject also enables students to consider emerging technologies and preferred futures.
