Content
Engineering systems, food and fibre production explores engineering principles and systems related to how forces can be used to create light, sound, heat, movement, control and support in systems. Students will develop an understanding of how forces and the properties of materials affect the behaviour and performance of designed engineering solutions through the design and trialling of a design brief. This unit also explores food and fibre production considering food and fibre as human-produced or harvested resources, and how food and fibre are produced in managed environments such as farms or plantations or harvested from wild stocks. Students will develop an understanding of the challenges involved in managing these resources through creating designed solutions in sustainable agricultural systems. They will develop teaching and learning approaches that support learning.
