- Using Computer Aided Design (Inventor and Revit architecture)
- Students should choose DESIGN and/or INDUSTRIAL GRAPHICS in year 11 & 12
FDE leads to the senior subject Design – General ATAR
Design – Year 11 & 12
Design involves applying design thinking to create products, services, and environments that meet human needs and opportunities. It is a complex problem-solving process using divergent and convergent thinking strategies. Designers are free from production constraints, allowing them to explore innovative ideas. Students must be able to sketch design ideas and present design solutions to stakeholders.
Architecture, digital media design, fashion design, graphic design, industrial design, interior design and landscape architecture.
