Design Aid

Aims

 

To enable students to:

  • consider and investigate a wide range of user needs and produce designs which are inclusive rather than exclusive
  • ensure that the quality of their design solution will be suitable for intended clients and consumers
  • understand how graphic techniques and CAD software can be used to model aspects of a design proposal and assist in making decisions
  • understand a range of prototyping and modelling methods to explore and communicate design proposals
  • recognise that the aesthetic, technological and functional qualities of a product are all important
