specification, bearing in mind the social and cultural context and having
talked to potential users
- recognise critical
factors that should be used as design criteria, including those related
to social and environmental issues
- draw on a wide
range of information sources
- work effectively
within a team, discussing and responding to information, working on
designing and making aspects, and reviewing product outcomes
- develop systems
to ensure quality when batch production is important
- recognise that
wasteful production and disposal are harmful to the environment
- decide on the
main stages of making and the order in which they must be carried out
for the task to be successfully completed on time
- use tools, equipment
and techniques to construct with precision
- justify their
decisions about materials and methods
- discuss with users
the extent to which the product meets the design criteria, noting the
main points made and using them to plan possible improvements.
