investigating and selecting from a broad range of technologies − materials, systems, components, tools and equipment − when designing for a range of technologies contexts

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP035

experimenting with traditional and contemporary technologies when developing designs, and discovering the advantages and disadvantages of each approach

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP036

considering which ideas to further explore and investigating the benefits and drawbacks of ideas, for example using digital polling to capture the views of different groups in the community

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP037

practising techniques to improve expertise, for example handling animals, cutting and joining materials

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP038

considering how to improve technical expertise

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP039

organising time, evaluating decisions and managing resources to ensure successful project completion and protection of the work space and local environment

recognising the impact of past designed solutions and possible decisions when creating preferred futures, for example the design of public transport systems that use renewable energy and the design of rural communities to reduce fire risk

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK041

exploring the ways commercial enterprises respond to the challenges and opportunities of technological change, for example e-commerce, and carbon footprint

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK043

examining and explaining the interaction between material properties and function of a common system, such as car brakes

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK044

investigating how digital technologies could be used to enhance food production systems, for example global positioning system (GPS) for managing animals, crop sensors or automated animal feeding or milking

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK045

conducting sensory assessment testing of a range of foods to determine how these characteristics might be used to enhance food solutions, for example taste testing a variety of milks, comparing freshly squeezed juice to commercial juices

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK046

justifying decisions when selecting from a broad range of technologies − materials, systems, components, tools and equipment, for example selecting low-emission paints and locally sourced materials

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK047

critiquing product manufacturing processes in relation to society, ethics, and sustainability factors, for example a mechanised entertainment system; an interactive multimedia product to teach a concept to a student in a country in Asia

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP048

critiquing a range of design and technologies ideas, for example assessing those that draw on the intellectual property of others, exploring how well the ideas respond to international and Australian standards

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP049

undertaking functional, structural and aesthetic analyses of benefits and constraints of design ideas, for example to different communities and environments including those from the countries of Asia

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP050

using materials, components, tools, equipment and techniques safely and considering alternatives to maximise sustainability, for example using timber because it stores carbon and offsets the demand for alternative products

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP051

evaluating and justifying the use and best combination of traditional, contemporary and emerging technologies during project development, including consideration of sustainability, for example farming methods in South-East Asia

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP052
