Agenda for the Briefing Session 1 – The specification Session 2 – The paper Session 3 – Resources Session 4 – NEA Session 5 – Questions

Specification Overview Component 1: • • • Ø Ø • Ø Externally examined A mix of short answer, structured and extended writing questions Based on: technical principles designing and making principles. along with their ability to: analyse and evaluate design decisions and wider issues in design and technology. Component 2: • Internally marked externally moderated • A sustained design and make task, based on a contextual challenge set by WJEC, assessing candidates' ability to: identify, investigate and outline design possibilities • design and make prototypes • analyse and evaluate design decisions and wider issues in design and technology.

Specification Overview Component 1: Core knowledge and understanding - five clear and distinct topic areas: Ø design and technology and our world Ø smart materials Ø electronic systems and programmable components Ø mechanical components and devices Ø materials Learners need to: Ø study all of the content in these five areas and broad knowledge and understanding of design and technology Ø be able to apply this knowledge in design and make activities.

Specification Overview Component 1: In-depth knowledge and understanding is presented in six clear and distinct topic areas: a. electronic systems, programmable components and mechanical devices b. papers and boards c. natural and manufactured timber d. ferrous and non-ferrous metals e. thermoforming and thermosetting polymers f. fibres and textiles Learners are required to study at least one of these six areas, to ensure they have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of a specific material area and/or components and systems to support their design and make activities.

Component 2 Designing and making principles Core knowledge and understanding that learners are required to develop and apply is presented in ten clear topic areas: • • • understanding design and technology practice understanding user needs writing a design brief and specifications investigating challenges developing ideas investigating the work of others using design strategies communicating ideas developing a prototype making decisions  Learners are required to cover all of the content in these ten areas, to ensure they are able to apply a broad knowledge and understanding of design and technology principles within design and make activities.

Component 2 Designing and making principles In-depth knowledge and understanding is presented in five clear topic areas: • • • selecting and working with materials and components marking out using tools and equipment using specialist techniques using surface treatments and finishes Learners are required to cover all of the content in these five areas, in relation to at least one of the topic areas identified in the in-depth knowledge and understanding section of technical principles. LEARNERS WILL BE TESTED ON KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING COVERED WITHIN THIS COMPONENT

Subject Content Core - Breadth of Understanding Ø Ø Ø design and technology and our world smart materials electronic systems and programmable components mechanical components and devices materials

Subject Content- For this presentation I will focus on one aspect of the specification Ø Design and technology and our world Ø Split into three areas of study • The impact of new and emerging technologies on industry, enterprise, sustainability, people, culture, society and the environment, production techniques and systems • Critical evaluation of new and emerging technologies informs design decisions • How energy is generated and stored in order to choose and use appropriate sources to make products and to power systems

Subject Content The impact of new and emerging technologies on industry, enterprise, sustainability, people, culture, society and the environment, production techniques and systems: Market pull Technology push Consumer choice The Product Life Cycle Global production and its effects on culture and people Legislation to which products are subject Consumer rights and protection Moral and ethical factors related to manufacturing and sale Sustainability; meeting today’s needs without compromising the needs of future generations Advantages and disadvantages of using computer aided design/manufacture (CAD/CAM).

The Mobile Phone Market Pull Technology Push The Mobile Phone Global Production Legislation Consumer Rights Product Life Cycle

Market Pull Market needs Reviewing existing product Requirements - customers wanting more Innovative features

Technology Push New technology becomes the driver Mobile phone Keypad originally had plastic keys Keypad polymer conductive plastics Keypad with touch screen pencils Keypads touch screen Battery development, I. C. chip development, Micro-electronics, Smart materials, Data storage.

Product life cycle

Legislation British Standards - Kite marks BSI numbers CE - European market Government Legislation - ISO Numbers

Global production Is it really made in the UK/USA/Japan? De-construct a mobile phone- Designed – USA - South Korea - USA Case – China – South Korea – UK Screens - China - South Korea – Rumania Batteries – China – South Korea - America Circuit boards – China- South Korea - Australia Wires – China - South Korea- Holland Components – China- South Korea- Germany Chip Design – Wales!!! Apple City!!!!! Product manufacture is now world wide - Transportation, JIT, Import exporting Designs via CAD Systems

Consumer Rights The Consumer Rights Act covers: Product quality Returning goods Repairs and replacements Digital content rights Delivery rights Contracts Return policies Damage Receipts Packaging 30 day policies What are your rights? Do sellers policies reflect the manufacturers policy?

Subject Content Critical evaluation of new and emerging technologies informs design decisions Sustainability issues and environmental issues when designing and making Social, cultural, economic and environmental responsibilities in designing and making products The Six Rs of sustainability; rethink, reuse, recycle, repair, reduce and refuse Life Cycle Analysis Fair-trade policies and carbon footprint Ecological footprint

Subject Content How energy is generated and stored in order to choose and use appropriate sources to make products and to power systems. Types of renewable and non-renewable energy sources including: wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, wood/biomass, wave, coal, gas, nuclear and oil. Issues surrounding the use of fossil fuels including coal, oil and gas. The advantages and disadvantages of renewable energy sources. The use of renewable energy sources in modern manufacturing production systems including the use of solar panels and wind turbines in manufacturing sites. Renewable energy sources for products including wind-up and photovoltaic cells. Energy generation and storage in a range of contexts including motor vehicles (e. g. petrol/diesel, electricity) and household products (e. g. battery, solar, mains electricity).

Types of renewable energy and non-renewable Types of renewable and non-renewable energy sources including: wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, wood/biomass, wave, coal, gas, nuclear and oil. Show images Compare and contrast systems - Advantages and Disadvantages - Carbon foot print - environmental - Ecological issues - basic of producing power through a turbine/motor.
