Digital Technologies
Digital Systems
Investigate the main internal components of common digital systems and their function.
(AC9TDI6K01)
Elaborations: Explaining how digital systems are made up of parts that perform specific functions, for example the processor controls the tablet, performs calculations & manipulates data.
Exploring how the central processing unit (CPU), memory and input/output components work together to perform simple calculations.
Generating and Designing
Generate, modify, communicate & evaluate designs. (AC9TDI6P04)
Evaluating
Evaluate existing & student solutions against the design criteria & user stories and their broader community impact.
(AC9TDI6P06)
Design Technologies
Technologies and Society
Explain how people in design and technologies occupations consider competing factors including sustainability in the design of products, services and environments (AC9TDE6K01)
Technologies Context: Engineering Principles and Systems
Explain how electrical energy can be transformed into movement, sound or light in a product or system.
(AC9TDE6K02)
Materials and Technologies Specialisations
Explain how characteristics and properties of materials, systems, components, tools and equipment affect their use when producing designed solutions. (AC9TDE6K05)
Investigating and Defining
Investigate needs or opportunities for designing, and the materials, components, tools, equipment and processes needed to create designed solutions. (AC9TDE6P01)
Generating and Designing
Generate, iterate and communicate design ideas, decisions and processes using technical terms and graphical representation techniques, including using digital tools. (AC9TDE6P02)
Producing and Implementing
