To obtain an 'S' in Product Design and Technology you need to show you have met the 'Outcomes' for both Units 1 and 2. The Outcomes relate directly to the work you do in class and at home. You will meet the Outcomes by satisfactorily developing a Design Folio and making the product planned in it.
Unit 1 -

Design Practices
Outcome 1
By the end of the unit, you should show demonstrate you can design and plan the redevelopment of a product, which would become a different product with consideration of sustainability issues. This is your Design Folio., using the Design Process, the development of a product. This will include using manual and digital technologies to visualize your design and refine your product concepts.
Outcome 2
By the end of this unit, you should be able to select and apply will have made your product. The process to arrive here will include skill and technique exploration, and materials trialing by selecting and applying materials, tools, equipment and processes to make the redeveloped product, and compare this with the original product. This will be the object you make and the evaluation based on pre-determined criteria for evaluationyour product. Students will be able to work collaboratively and in teams through trialing, implementation of production and reflection stages.

Positive impacts for End Users
Outcome 1
By the end On completion of this unit you should show you can design and plan a product or range of products collaboratively in response to a design brief. This will be your work (documented) within your team and the Design Folio you developedoutcome you will be able to investigate and critique products using the factors that influence design, to make judgments about the success or failure of the products to support positive impacts for end users. You will explore the role of designers across a number of industries/specializations and how they develop products with consideration to usability, consumer needs and sustainability.
Outcome 2
By the end On completion of this unit you should the student will be able to justify, manage and use appropriate production processes to make a product safely and evaluate individually and as a member of a team, the processes and materials used and the suitability of a product or components of a group of products against the design briefdesign and make an inclusive product that responds to a need or opportunity of an end user(s) that addresses positive impacts in relation to belonging, access, usability and/or equity.

VCE Product Design and Technologies offers students a range of relevant practical and applied experiences that can support future career pathways in design fields. VCE Product Design and Technologies offers students a unique focus on creativity through the development and production of innovative and ethical products. Students work with a variety of materials, tools and processes to develop their capacities and they employ innovative and ethical practices as they practice design. All of this contributes to the real-life industry relevance of this course. Designers play an important role in our daily lives. They determine the form and function of the products we use. They transform ideas into drawings and plans for the creation and manufacture of useful products that fulfil human needs and wants. In recent history, the use of resources to create an ever-increasing array of products has resulted in designers adopting a more sustainable approach to design, manufacture, use and disposal. In this study students assume the role of a designer-maker, which involves the identification and definition of need; investigation through informed research to aid the development of ideas and solutions; the development of a knowledge of materials and processes; planning, construction and evaluation. Product Design Technology - Wood/Jewellery Unit 1: Product Redesign and Sustainability Unit 1 introduces students to the design process, product design factors and intellectual property. Students consider an existing product and how it fulfils the needs of the end user. Students consider how it could be improved, including its sustainability. Students develop a design brief and evaluation criteria to assess design options and the product they produce in response to the design brief. Assessment There are two elements to the assessment for Unit 1: A design folio that contains a design brief, evaluation criteria, research, design options, working drawings, production plan and an evaluation report. A completed product with records of production and modification. Unit 2: Collaborative Design Design is a collaborative enterprise involving many people with specialised knowledge and skills. In unit 2, students work individually and in teams to develop an item in a product range that addresses a problem, need or opportunity and consider the associated human-centred design factors. Students gain inspiration from an historical and/or cultural design movement or style and its defining factors such as ideological or technological change, philosophy or aesthetics. Assessment There are two elements to the assessment for Unit 1 & Unit 2: A design folio that contains a design brief, evaluation criteria, relevantresearch, design options, working drawings, production plansplan and an evaluation report.
