A variety of skills are required to undertake the Independent Design and Make 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 through investigations, focused practical tasks and further study will likely include: • Graphical Communication techniques • 3D and 2D CAD (Solid works and 2D Design) • Competent use of hand tools and machinery • Analysis of products • An understanding of how school processes can be used to produce ‘one-offs’ • Use of Smart Materials in modern products
The minimum entry requirements for Level 3 applied study apply. Previous successful study of Design & Technology is also required as demonstrable by Grade 6 in GCSE Design & Technology (Graphics, Electronics or Resistant Materials), or equivalent in a Cambridge National in Engineering course.
Component 1: Principles of Design and Technology Written examination: 2 hours 30 minutes 50% of the qualification Component 2: Independent Design and Make Project Non-examined Assessment (NEA) 50% of the qualification
