This module aims to produce students who can
 * MODULE AIMS**
 * explore, analyse and reflect upon contemporary approaches to the learning and teaching of Computer Aided Design and Manufacture (CAD/CAM) in schools.
 * evaluate the suitability of CAD/CAM software and hardware for use in schools.
 * broaden your capability in the use of CAD/CAM for the design and manufacture of products within the context of the school curriculum.
 * consider, implement and critically reflect upon strategies for managing CAD/CAM project based activity in schools.
 * identify, select and apply focused research methodologies appropriate to school based enquiry to support curriculum development in CAD/CAM.
 * develop, trial and evaluate resources to support and enhance school-based teaching and learning of CAD/CAM.

You will be given opportunities to investigate teaching & learning experiences in CAD/CAM and devise effective strategies for integrating it into the product development process in schools. You will be required to analyse and reflect upon current issues related to CAD/CAM in your own school and in the wider secondary education sector. You will use this information to inform the development of exemplar product(s) and/or supporting resource materials designed to enhance teaching and learning in CAD/CAM. You will undertake trials to assess the impact of these resource materials, reflect on their effectiveness and make suggestions for improvement. The assignment will be 100% coursework and assessed by academic members of staff.
