Controlled Assessment Unit 1 – Building a portfolio

Unit 1 Content Portfolio Research - 5 hours Content P.7 Know that there may be more than one design solution that meets a client’s needs Know how to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different design solutions Analyse the client design brief for an engineered product or engineering service to identify its key features, for example:- Function Quality standards Styling/ Aesthetics Performance Intended markets Size Maintenance Production methods and materials Cost Regulations to include health and safety Scale of production Produce a design specification from the design brief and use it to produce a final design solution through: - Researching and analysing information and data Reference P. 26 Skills to be assessed (a) + part of (b)

Unit 1 Content Portfolio Production of Portfolio – 20 hours To include 3.1.1Design Briefs Design Specifications and Solutions Engineering Drawings Choosing Engineering Drawing Techniques Presenting a Design Solution Assessment criteria and mark bands are on pages (b)(c)(d)(e)(f) Total 38 marks Total marks for research and portfolio work is 44 marks It is important to emphasis to students that Learning outcomes presented in Unit 1 reflect the the assessment criteria and mark bands shown on pages ONLY material outlined in the assessment criteria should be in the pupils portfolios. NO additional material is required

GCSE Engineering DRAFT CONTROLLED ASSESSMENTS UNIT 1 Engineering Design & Graphical Communication

Controlled Assessment The following Controlled Assessment Tasks for Unit 1 are in DRAFT form Handle with Care

Controlled Assessment Unit1 Unit 1 Draft Controlled Assessment Tasks Bicycle Maintenance Keen cyclists have asked you as a designer to design a maintenance stand for bicycles. They have identified this need due to continuous repairs that need to be carried out on their bicycles throughout the year. The device should be collapsible, easy to move around and incorporate features useful for avid cyclists. Multifunctional Seating Seating devices come in many different forms. You have been asked as a designer to design a multifunctional seating device, that is portable, easily carried and has a storage facility.
