Elaboration ACTDEK044

examining emerging production technologies and methods in terms of productivity, profitability and sustainability, for example vertical farming, recirculation technologies in aquaculture

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK044

examining the marketing chain of a range of agricultural products and outlining the effect of product processing and advertising on demand and price

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK041

explaining the consequences of social, ethical and sustainability decisions for products, services and environments, for example a managed public environment such as a theme park

using materials, components, tools, equipment and techniques safely and considering alternatives to maximise sustainability, for example using timber because it stores carbon and offsets the demand for alternative products

Elaboration (2) ACTDEK044

comparing the environmental impacts of intensive and extensive production systems and their contribution to food and fibre production

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK041

exploring the ways commercial enterprises respond to the challenges and opportunities of technological change, for example e-commerce, and carbon footprint

Elaboration (5) ACTDEK044

taking account of animal welfare considerations in food and fibre production enterprises

Elaboration (4) ACTDEK041

constructing scenarios of how the future may unfold (forecasting) and what impacts there may be for society and particular groups, and back casting from preferred futures

Elaboration (5) ACTDEK041

recognising real-world problems and understanding basic needs when considering designed solutions, for example Engineers Without Borders High School Outreach Program allows students to design solutions to problems in a country in Asia

Elaboration ACTDEK047

examining factors influencing the design of a product that has an explicit environmental emphasis, for example the low-flush toilet

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK047

critiquing environments in relation to preferred futures in relation to society, ethics and sustainability practices, for example the refurbishment of a local playground; the re-design of a local wetland

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK047

critiquing product manufacturing processes in relation to society, ethics, and sustainability factors, for example a mechanised entertainment system; an interactive multimedia product to teach a concept to a student in a country in Asia

Elaboration (3) ACTDEK040

explaining how product life cycle thinking can influence decision-making related to design and technologies, for example rethinking products to provide for re-use, selecting a material for a product that has a lower carbon footprint

Elaboration ACTDEK046

critiquing the design of an existing product to identify environmental consequences of material selection

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK046

justifying decisions when selecting from a broad range of technologies − materials, systems, components, tools and equipment, for example selecting low-emission paints and locally sourced materials

Elaboration ACTDEP048

critiquing the design of new products to identify how well design ideas respond to sustainability issues

Elaboration (1) ACTDEP051

evaluating and justifying the use and best combination of traditional, contemporary and emerging technologies during project development, including consideration of sustainability, for example farming methods in South-East Asia

Elaboration (3) ACTDEP052

collaborating to develop production plans for equitable distribution of work

Elaboration (1) ACTDEK040

recognising the impact of past designed solutions and possible decisions when creating preferred futures, for example the design of public transport systems that use renewable energy and the design of rural communities to reduce fire risk

Elaboration ACTDEP050

refining technical skills and using production skills with independence to produce quality designed solutions and to reduce risks in production
