A variety of skills are required to undertake the Iterative Design Project. In order to best prepare students for this, a variety of approaches will be used so that students feel competent in all aspects of Design and Technology. Skills developed will include: • Component and circuit functionality • Circuit construction techniques • Graphical communication techniques • 3D and 2D CAD (Solidworks and 2D Design) • Circuitry designing software (Circuit Wizard) • Competent use of hand tools and machinery • Analysis of products • An understanding of how school processes can be used to produce ‘one-offs’
The minimum entry requirements for Level 3 academic study apply. In addition, Grade 6+ in Mathematics and Physics, 7 recommended. It is strongly recommended that students are taking A Level Maths and/or Physics alongside Design and Technology: Design Engineering. Grade 6 in Design and Technology or Distinction from a related technical subject are required.
The course is divided into three components: 1. Principles Examination, 26.7% 2. Problem Solving in Design Engineering, 23.3% 3. Iterative Design Project, 50%
