The Course has two mandatory Units: Software Design and Development (Computational constructs, Data types and structures, Testing and documenting solutions, Algorithm specification) and Information System Design and Development (Database and Web based structures, Media types, Coding and testing). Assessment Aside from the 2 Unit Assessments, the learner will be assessed by a combination of a question paper worth 90 marks and an assignment worth 60 marks. Learners will apply knowledge and skills from the Units to solve an appropriately challenging computing science problem. The question paper introduces breadth to the assessment. It requires depth of understanding and application of knowledge from the Units. Materials Required DESIGN & MANUFACTURE ADVANCED HIGHER SCQF 7 Days Tue/Thur Location St. Machar Academy 6.6.17 Starting Date Requirements Higher in Design & Manufacture Course Content The Course consists of three mandatory Units and Course assessment. The Course assessment will consist of a project and a question paper. Design and Manufacture: Product Analysis (Advanced Higher) This Unit will require learners to carry out an analysis of the performance and production of a product or suitable item. Learners should consider the design and record its functional requirements, operation and use. Learners will consider the relationships between form and function, and the impact of the design in terms of environment, aesthetics, user interface, and factors. Alongside this, learners will explore the materials, manufacturing techniques and assembly procedures.
