NCEA Level 1 Design & Visual Communication
DVC101 Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: S. Stephen.
Recommended Prior LearningStudents must have a prior working knowledge of fusion 360/solidworks and good sketching and presentation skills. Failing this, they must meet with the HOF/HOD for approval.
This course builds on the skills and techniques developed in Year 10 including the development of design ideas through several assignments. The prior learning needed for this course includes several CAD software programs and the key building blocks of 2D and 3D sketching as well as a design knowledge.
Over the year we will cover a number of design briefs which will provide evidence for the External and Internal Achievement Standards offered. Product design briefs can lead to a laser cut or 3D printed functional model or outcome. An additional Spatial design brief will be covered and is a means for preparing for L2.
