Students will work with a variety of materials such as timber and board, a range of plastics and casting media. The use of computers in designing and making is a key factor, with small scale computer design and manufacture as a possible part of individual projects. The course consists of in depth student- led coursework projects, arising from the student’s own research, and culminating in making and testing a product as well as producing in depth design folders. Theory work covers all aspects of materials science, environmental and consumer issues and leads towards a final written examination.
