Design Technology A2: At A2, the specification offers candidates the opportunity to develop further the knowledge and practical skills from AS. Students will continue to develop a body of coursework together with an understanding of the processes and procedures of commercial production and manufacture. In the second year of the course students identify a design problem, propose solutions and make a quality-finished product. They should also identify techniques for mass-producing their design solution. At A2 specification there are 2 units: Unit 3 • Classifying materials and identifying, testing and comparing their application to product manufacture • The implications of health and safety as an element of design activity • Examination of alternative designs and redesigning existing products • Use of natural resources, materials utilisation, conservation, waste disposal/management, pollution, recycling • Appreciation and understanding of the use of CAM for industrial production • Moral, economic, social and environmental responsibilities of the designer • Planning production procedures and methods Unit 4 Coursework: students have to submit evidence of a single, substantial designing and making activity.
