Aim |
|
|
| |
To produce quality ICT applications
of 3-D CAD from KS2 to A level. |
| |
|

Description |
| |
|
| |
Whilst support exists for 2-D CAD and CAD/CAM,
the need has been identified to introduce
3-D CAD into the curriculum. The project will
draw on the Teacher Fellow’s recent
work with the CBI "Manufacturing by Design"
initiative and the DATA "CAD-CAM Resources
for Secondary Schools". |
| |
|
| |
The material developed will include: |
| |
|
| |
|
introduction to 3-D CAD
|
|
why 3-D CAD in the curriculum? |
|
mapping of 3-D CAD techniques onto
design and technology based courses
and peripheral courses from KS2 to A
level |
|
teachware for 3-D CAD techniques at
KS2, KS3 and KS4 |
|
annotated stage-by-stage target drawings
of typical GCSE electro-mechanical projects
on help from experts, sponsorship, purchasing
|
