Designed to be a self-contained course on structures with materials that is straightforward for both student and teacher, this book includes a series of graded design problems that can be used sequentially or independently. It takes account of the varied requirements of the National Curriculum through the medium of high technology, and has been tried and tested as teaching and reference material for students preparing for GCSE technology examinations (equivalent to Key Stage 4). The author recognizes that not all schools have the same level of equipment, and the development of a specification for each design brief has therefore been omitted. It is envisaged that this can be developed by the students themselves, who need to be aware of what equipment is available to them.
Part of a series of topic books covering the core topics of technology at first examination level, this book adopts a problem solving approach and is accessible to a broad ability range. A teacher's guide will accompany this series. The book is suitable for GCSE CDT - technology, National Curriculum design and technology, and Standard Grade Technological Studies.
Designed to be a self-contained course that will be "user-friendly" to both student and teacher, this book contains a series of graded design problems that can be used sequentially or independently. This allows flexibility in the use of the material. Account is taken of the varied requirements of the National Curriculum through the medium of high technology. The authors recognize that not all schools have the same level of equipment, and the development of a specification for each design brief has therefore been omitted. It is envisaged that this can be developed by the students, who need to be aware of what equipment is available to them. Chapter 15 is a research section, providing more detailed information on a variety of topics which students can refer to as an aid to developing their own designs.
