EMT303 Design & Technology Project (8)

This subject builds on prior learning in the practice of design and use of technologies, tools, materials and equipment, as students demonstrate skills of designing and managing a coherent design project. Students will: understand the relationships between design, technology, creativity, innovation and enterprise; apply design concepts, criteria and considerations to technology processes and production skills; and implement ways of communicating, evaluating, assessing, reporting on and presenting a designed product, system, service or environment. The subject also enables students to consider emerging technologies and preferred futures.
