1. Sustainable and innovative design: implications of ecologically responsible and socially responsive design for designers and consumers, integrating revolutionary and radical approaches.
2. Materials and processes: selection, prototyping, and mass production of components; techniques for brazing, rotational molding, and bridle joints; reinforcement of materials and their properties such as corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, ductility, and brittleness.
3. Practical systems: explanation of electrical terms (AC/DC), calculation of current, voltage, and gear ratios; mechanisms for converting and transmitting motion; benefits and drawbacks of pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
4. Graphic representation: perspective drawings of objects (e.g., laptop stand), orthographic views, development (net) drawings, and rendering for aesthetic presentation in retail settings.
5. Influence on design: role of aesthetics, cost, and manufacturing processes in designing packaging, point-of-sale displays, and advertising materials, with examples of specific applications.
6. Mechanical systems: efficient gear mechanisms, converting motion, and maintaining efficiency in products or systems through design considerations.
7. Problem-solving tasks: product designs addressing specific needs like portable beach carriers, imaginative game timers with themes, and interactive eco-displays for awareness campaigns.
8. Conceptual design process: analysis, specification, exploration, development, proposed solution, and evaluation for functional and creative design challenges.
