| Course description | This half course develops the students&© knowledge, understanding and skills for a range of advanced manufacturing processes and those which contain higher risk. It examines the development of manufacturing throughout history and explores the contribution design, manufacture and industrial developments makes to society, economies and politics.
It also develops $ùtechnological capability&©, enhances skills, knowledge and understanding for teaching and learning and as part of professional practice. Building upon Manufacturing 1, students will undertake further study of sustainability issues related to design and manufacture, and the application of compulsory health and safety legislation as applied to higher risk processes, computer aided manufacturing and electronic fabrication.
It makes explicit links to the themes of Education 2 Philosophical and Sociological Perspectives on Curriculum Assessment, Pedagogy and Social Justice. It begins to examine the social divide and educational controversial question of hierarchies of vocational and academic, gender issues and the purpose of schooling then and now.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course the student will be able to:
1. Select appropriate advanced manufacturing processes and materials for specified applications with due consideration to issues of sustainability and product lifecycle.
2. Demonstrate professional knowledge and personal application of the skills and techniques used in advanced modelling and manufacturing activities and the implications of these approaches for designers, industry and economies.
3. Demonstrate the knowledge, application and competences required to take professional responsibility for Health and Safety in a Design and Technology Environment BS 4163, PUWER and COSHH for higher risk and advanced manufacturing processes.
4. Demonstrate an understanding of the development of manufacturing in the European and American contexts over the last centuries and the contribution it has made to societal and urban development.
5. Demonstrate an understanding of the changes in manufacturing over the last decades in terms of processes in manufacturing and the emergence and growth on new industrialised nations.
6. Discuss the issues of technical education, manufacturing as related to policy, economy, gender and purposes of schooling and consider appropriate pedagogies to take account of social justice in the Design and Technology workshop. |
Assessment Information
1. Manufacture and Computer aided manufacture of a range of models utilising a broad spectrum of processes and materials $ú skilfully, safely and appropriately applied. Linked to Design Principles and Practice 2. (70%)
2. Examination on health and safety - a practical scenario based assessment
recognising risk, accident prevention in machine based workshop/practical and
contemporary manufacturing environments workshop/practical environments. This will be on a pass/fail basis.
3. An analytical research timeline based project which explores the development of industrial nations from18th century to current day, identifies some example issues arising and discusses concurrent policies in technical educatio (30%) 1500 words
Students who are unable to satisfy the safe working practice element of this course
will not be permitted to carry out practical work of this nature on placement and are
likely to have their access to workshop practice for work of this nature restricted. |
