Physical Resources


The requirements for this course will depend on the stream(s) being taught. Some will require access to a well set up workshop with provision for a wide range of production methods as well as computers with current CAD and other relevant software packages. Access to Digital Manufacturing equipment such as 3D printers, scanners, laser cutters and cnc mills, is recommended.

Other possible requirements are:

ergonomic desks and chairs suitable for computers and freehand drawing and model making

sketching, technical drawing, rendering and illustration equipment and facilities;

large display area with adequate lighting;

computers and appropriate CAD, vector, raster, web and multimedia software.

Internet access

access to digital projection and video facilities.

colour printing facilities

digital cameras, flatbed and negative scanners.

digital drawing tablets. a dedicated, networked CAD lab that complies with the OH&S requirements

a workstation per student capable of running current version 3D CAD software

quality colour printers suitable of producing both A3 and A4 format

scanning capabilities

licensed software of choice which meet the demands of the course inclusive of: 3D modelling and rendering; 2D texturing; sound and video editing; digitising input; student workstation monitoring

LCD projection for large screen format

stereo speaker system

3D printing equipment will be a requirement within the time frame of this course document but will remain optional due to cost


Proposed Evaluation Procedures


Course evaluation will be a continuous process. Teachers will meet regularly to discuss the content of the course and any requirements for modification of activities, teaching strategies and assessment instruments. The current trends and innovations in the teaching of Design and Technology will be considered as teachers attend workshops, seminars and participate in discussion groups with other teachers such as on Moderation Day.

Teachers will monitor student performance and progress and student responses to various teaching, learning and assessment strategies. Students and teachers will complete evaluation questionnaires at the end of each unit. The results of these will be collated and reviewed from year to year. There will also be a continuous monitoring of student numbers between Years 11 and 12.

Informal discussions between teachers and students, past students, parents and other teachers will contribute to the evaluation of the course.

In the process of evaluation; students, teachers and others should, as appropriate, consider:

Are the course and Course Framework still consistent?

Were the goals achieved?

Was the course content appropriate?

Were the teaching strategies used successful?

Was the assessment program appropriate?

Have the needs of the students been met?

Was the course relevant?

How many students completed the course in each of the years of accreditation?




Architecture Foundation Value: 1.0

Architecture Foundation a Value: 0.5

Architecture Foundation b Value: 0.5

This unit introduces students to basic architectural methods and concepts and to the design process common to all streams in this course document. These ideas may be delivered through exemplar architectural design problems.
