Examination Board: OCR Course Title: Product Design Syllabus Number: 3822/7822 Design and Technology is a course for candidates who have appropriate previous experience such as that gained through the study of a Design and Technology based subject at GCSE level. The course should not be seen as primarily vocational. The knowledge, understanding and skills gained on this course are likely to be of great benefit to candidates pursuing further studies, in their personal lives and in the world of work. Design is seen as an integrating process involving consideration of human needs, responding to them and shaping human values. It includes an understanding of environmental issues and the application of a variety of appropriate technologies within production processes. It recognises the need to take account of those external pressures which constrain a designer’s opportunities to bring about positive change in products, systems and environments. Students entering the Lower Sixth form will study the Advanced Subsidiary (AS) course. At the end of the course they may wish to further their studies into the Upper Sixth Form and take the A2 course. The AS and A2 courses combine to make the full A Level award. The examination for the Advanced Subsidiary (AS)course has three components:Unit 1: System Case Study (20 hours)
Unit 2: Product Study (30 hours)
Unit 3: Product Design 1 (written examination 2 hours)
The examination for the A2 course has three components:Units 4 & 5: Major Coursework Project (50 hours)
Unit 6: Product Design 2 (Written examination 2½ hours)
