Taupo-nui-a-Tia College
Year 10 Design & Visual Communication - Technology
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Forrest.
This course enables students to realise the importance and relevance of design and graphical communication in today’s technological society. The skills taught will promote student learning through a series of related tasks that will lead to a career pathway in a design related field. This course follows the New Zealand Curriculum and leads directly to NCEA Level 1.
Students will build on their knowledge and skills from Year 9 to cover a wider range of skills that include investigation, research, problem solving, and evaluation. Formal drawing skills are developed further, to enable more complex design tasks to be completed. Computer Aided Design (CAD) is introduced in greater depth with students being able to develop 3D models, physical prototypes and working drawing documentation for design tasks.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
Students must supply their own pencils (draughting and colouring) as well as a compass.
It is recommended that students pay $25.00 which covers the cost of take home materials associated with the use of the laser cutter and limited 3D printing as well as colour printing costs.
