Design and Manufacturing Principles: • Design History, Inclusive Design, Socio and Economic Influences • Life Cycle Analysis and Environmental Impact • Coursework - to be able to identify a Need, Define the Problem, Research, Generate Concepts, Communicate with Clients, Develop a viable Product and finally Manufacture a Prototype to be fully Tested and Evaluated. Performance Characteristics of Materials: • Classification, Structure and Properties:- Woods, Metals, Polymers, Modern and Smart materials, Composites, Papers, Textiles. Manufacturing Techniques: • Understanding the industrial methods to form, cut, fabricate and finish materials into suitable parts for commercial production and gain practical skills to support this knowledge and your Project manufacturing. Modern Industrial and Commercial Practice: • Scales of Production, Logistics, Management principles, Use of Computer systems, CAD/CAM, Rapid prototyping, Production Planning, Quality Assurance, Standards, Health and Safety, Consumer Services, Intellectual property rights.
Places are offered subject to candidates' achieving a minimum of 42 grade points on the best seven GCSEs including English and Maths. Normally we would expect at least a grade 7 (or an A grade) in each subject to be studied in the Lower Sixth and at least a 6 (or a B grade) in English and Maths. Pupils should have a good grounding in design and manufacture, ideally having achieved a 7 or higher in GCSE Design Technology. It suits pupils with drive and the ability to independently problem solve, as the final project needs to be led by the pupil themselves.
