NCEA Level 2 Design & Visual Communication

12DES
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: S. Stephen.

Recommended Prior Learning

Students have completed Level 1 Design and Visual Communication.


Students will continue to develop the skills they have learnt in L1. These include the use of CAD programs such as solidworks/fusion 360, sketching and rendering and the development of more in depth technical knowledge applied in design. These would include ergonomics and materials selection and parts integration.

As this is often a multi level class, students will have to exercise a large degree of independence and ability to self teach on occasion.

 Briefs covered over the year are both product and spatial based and will also include research into design movements and eras.
