This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
This unit describes the, skills and knowledge required to refine techniques for the development of three-dimensional (3-D) physical models. It applies to individuals working across a range of media and industry contexts who use well developed technical and creative skills to build 3-D models independently or as part of a team. The model could be used as a way of testing or presenting ideas. In some cases the model may be a finished work or artistic piece. 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 ECUs LMS

Evidence of the ability to: - identify and explore new techniques, resources and materials and integrate into model making - develop and refine models that meet project specifications and professional standards - document the design process. 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: - identify ways in which model making is used in a range of industry contexts - describe the basic principles and techniques for model making - outline physical properties and capabilities of the range of materials, tools and equipment used for model making - describe presentation methods for finished models - describe work space requirements for the production of models, including work space set-up for particular types of model making work - describe typical issues and challenges that arise in the context of making scale models - outline the ethical, organisational and legislative requirements associated with model making.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to: - projects that require construction of models - tools, equipment and other resources required for constructing models. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:
Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.
The ECU rules and policies governing all academic activities, including misconduct, can be accessed through the ECU website.
