This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to take a design concept or solution to the implementation stage. The outcome of work could be a completed product, object, system or service, but is more likely to be a complete or partial prototype or model for the design. The focus of the unit is on a general knowledge of design techniques and processes, and practical application to a specific design context. It applies to individuals who implement concepts and solutions in response to a design challenge in any industry context. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.
For more information see the Semester Timetable
Evidence of the ability to: - undertake critical analysis, testing and development of a model, prototype or aspect of a design solution to meet an identified need - present model to key stakeholders using the most appropriate best practice methods. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must: - explain the elements and principles of design and their application in relevant design context - describe key features of the wider industry, with the economic, social and historical context for the design solution - discuss design trends and technologies including other designs and the work of other design practitioners in the relevant context - summarise sources of information that support the development of technical and other knowledge - describe the technical expertise, resources, materials, tools, equipment, techniques and industry processes required for the area the design solutions are being implemented in.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in the design process field of work and include access to: - other people to reflect the collaborative nature of the design process - resources required to test a design solution in a given industry context including materials, tools, equipment and expertise. Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
