In Design & Innovation we QUESTION how products are made, the materials they are made from and the techniques used to make them. We EXPLORE the design process to produce products that have a purpose and understand there needs of a user. We GIVE back by making products to improve our lives and, as a result, we SUCCEED by producing creative products that fulfill a purpose. These are designed and made to the best of our ability and that we are proud of.

Key skills Interpreting engineering drawings Students will be required to understand standard drawing conventions and interpret drawings in preparation to manufacture components by hand and machine. They will need to apply their skill at interpreting engineering drawings throughout the NEA units in preparation for the assessments. Planning for manufacture Being able to accurately plan for manufacture by hand and machine will be required in both NEA Units R015 and R016 and this will help students develop a key skill in how to plan. Understanding risk It is crucial that students work safely in all practical aspects of the qualification. This is achieved through risk assessment activities, planning, developing standard operating procedures and through demonstrating safe working in practice in the workshop. This will be a key transferrable skill they will demonstrate in assessment activities, take into other activities and the workplace. Using manual processes, tools and machines Throughout both NEA units, students will gain valuable skills at using hand tools and manual and computer-controlled machines Interpreting engineering drawings Students will be required to understand standard drawing conventions and interpret drawings in preparation to manufacture components by hand and machine.
