Critical and creative thinking

In this subject students extend and apply their critical and creative thinking capability by, for example:

• analysing existing product or system characteristics and features to inform the design and realisation process
• visualising possibilities and scoping solutions
• adapting the design development in response to results of testing and research
• identifying and deconstructing problems
• using initiative in designing products or concept solutions
• evaluating existing and proposed designs of products or systems
• designing innovative, creative, and appropriate solutions using available materials
• critically evaluating potential entrepreneurial opportunities (e.g. patents, marketing and distribution, mass production, online publishing, crowd-sourcing).
