The study of Product Design gives students the opportunity to problem find and problem solve; to explore, create and evaluate their solutions to real world issues that affect us and the environment we live in. The course has both practical and theory elements that enable them to expand upon their knowledge gained at GCSE and one in which they can develop both their design, developmental, testing and making skills. ● Materials and their applications ● Performance characteristics of materials (wood, metals, polymers and paper and boards) ● Processing materials ● Industrial practice ● Product design considerations ● Design methods ● Design processes ● Responsible design
