Elaboration (3) ACTDEP037

developing innovative ways of manipulating technologies using traditional and contemporary materials, components, tools, equipment and techniques and considering alternatives including emerging technologies that could be substituted to reduce waste or …

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK034

investigating and selecting from a broad range of technologies − materials, systems, components, tools and equipment − when designing for a range of technologies contexts

Elaboration (2) ACTDEP035

investigating emerging technologies and their potential impact on design decisions, for example flame retardant fabrics or smart materials such as self-healing materials, digital technologies and agriculture

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP039

organising time, evaluating decisions and managing resources to ensure successful project completion and protection of the work space and local environment

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK029

critiquing competing factors that influence the design of services, for example a natural disaster warning system for a community
