Major Design Projects
The Major Design Project
HSC course structure
The HSC course is 120 indicative hours and includes the development and realisation of the major design project, a case study of an innovation and other teaching and learning activities. In Design and Technology Stage 6 the external examinations include a written paper and the major design project for external marking.
The major design project involves you selecting and applying appropriate design, production and evaluation skills to a product, system or environment which satisfies an identified need or opportunity. In the Preliminary course you will have developed a wide range of skills and knowledge and now in the HSC course you will be able to select and use the appropriate skills and knowledge for your selected project. You will need to relate the techniques and technologies used in industrial and commercial settings to those used in the development of your major design project.
Major Design Project (60 marks)
The major design project includes the practical hands-on activity of carrying the project through to realisation and the documentation, in a folio, of all the steps involved in this process.
The Major design project will include the submission of:
- a folio documenting the project proposal and project management, project development and realisation, and project evaluation
- a product or a system or an environment.
