The course is focused towards consumer products and applications; their analysis in respect of materials, components, and marketability to understand their selection and uses in industrial and commercial practices of product development. In Product Design, materials and components are studied from the perspective of analysing modern consumer products that are designed to meet identified consumer needs, their design and manufacture. During this course you will build upon and develop your knowledge and understanding from GCSE whilst also having the freedom to focus in more depth on areas of design and technology that most interest you.
Grade 4 in Product Design /Distinction in Engineering/ recommendation from HOD based on observation of practical and written work. You must have the required qualifications for the Advanced Pathway.
You will not be externally assessed at AS Level, but you will sit a mock exam at the end of the year. In addition to this you will take part in a range of design and make activities and projects to develop your designing and manufacturing skills in preparation for your A Level coursework project which will begin after Easter in Year 12.
