Quick questions on Project development and realisation: HSC Design and Technology Designing and Producing
2short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is research that informs development?Show answer
Development begins with focused research: user and market research, properties and cost of materials and components, ergonomic and anthropometric data, relevant standards and existing solutions. Research is not a tick box; it should be referenced and then visibly used to justify decisions. A folio that researches a material and then explains why it was chosen scores far better than one that lists facts in isolation.
What is realisation?Show answer
Realisation is the safe, accurate and skilful production of the final product, system or environment. The folio documents the production sequence with dated photographs, records quality control checks against the criteria at each stage, and shows that work health and safety practices were followed. Skilled, safe production is directly assessed, so evidence of competent technique and quality control is essential. The finished solution is judged on quality, creativity and fitness for the identified purpose.
