• Major Project (60%)

o Design, Management and Communication

o Production

• Industry Related Manufacturing Technology (25%)

Particular Course Requirements

In the Preliminary course, students must design, develop and construct a number of projects. Each project will include a management folio. Each project may emphasise different areas of the preliminary course content. Students also undertake the study of an individual business within a focus area industry.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Industrial Technology Project Requirements

1. What is the ‘project’?

In Industrial Technology, the Major Project consists of a product of one or more related items and an

accompanying management folio.

2. What is the ‘folio’?

The folio is part of the project and is a document that shows the research, conceptualisation, development

and evaluation of a project. The folio should show how the examination criteria for a project have been met.

In determining which material is included in a folio, it is essential that all the examination criteria are

addressed. However, it should be remembered that for Industrial Technology the marking is ‘holistic’ – that

is, marks are not allocated criterion by criterion.

3. What are the requirements for HSC projects submitted for Industrial Technology?

You can find detailed project requirement information at:

http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/industrial-technology-assessment-

reporting.pdf

4. How many pages can I put in my folio?

Page extent should be no more than 80 written A4 pages OR 40 written A3 pages printed on ONE side

only.

Media-based or multi-media attachments cannot exceed six minutes viewing time in total.

5. What happens if the folio page or view time limits are exceeded?

Folios must comply with these folio requirements. Mark penalties may apply if the limits are exceeded.

6. What if a smaller font size is used for some or all of the folio?

The format of the folio requires text that is in a ‘clear and easy to read font equivalent in size to 12-point

Times New Roman’ . Using a smaller font is equivalent to exceeding the 80-page limit, and mark penalties

may apply. Fonts other than Times New Roman and in a size larger than 12-point may be used, however

the overall folio page limits still apply.

Students are encouraged to consider the examination criteria for their course to see how presentation

techniques are valued during marking.

7. What about font size in tables, charts or graphs?

The requirement of 12-point Times New Roman or equivalent font size applies to all of the folio, including

tables, charts or graphs.

8. What is included in the folio requirements?

For detailed information on what should be included in the folio, see:


reporting.pdf

All pages of the folio will count toward the page limit, including:

title page

index

17

appendix

journal or diary

bibliography

research

samples of any surveys

time, action and finance plans

documentation of testing/experimentation

evidence of specific practical activities or evaluative measures

design ideas, concept sketches and detailed drawings

any information presented on displays or noticeboards.

9. What if working drawings take up most of the 80 pages?

If drawings are included in a folio, they will be included in the folio parameters. When editing a folio,

students should consider which drawings would assist markers in determining how well they have

demonstrated the relevant examination criteria. Only those drawings that best communicate the nature of

the project should be included.

Very large drawings should be reduced to scale to fit an A4 or A3 page, or a photograph of a large full-

scale drawing plus a small sample of the drawing to illustrate its quality may be used.

Working rods are not paper-based and so are not included in the page limit.

10. What are some ways of reducing a folio to meet the folio requirements?

Once the information in a folio shows how a project meets particular examination criteria, additional

information will not gain more marks.

In preparing a folio, consider the following suggestions in relation to presenting information and research:

Think about which parts of research best relate to the project and then present findings in a clear and

concise way.

Simply highlighting sections of pages printed directly from the internet is not a recommended method of

presenting research.

Consider referring to research when explaining a choice, decision or change in the project.

Always make sure an appropriate referencing system and bibliography are used.

The way research is used is more important that simply having a large number of books, websites or other

references.

The marking guidelines for the Industrial Technology Major Project refer to ‘relevant research, justifying the

selection of appropriate materials, processes, technologies and resources’.

11. How do the folio requirements apply if the entire project – both the folio and the product – is

paper-based?

If the project is entirely on paper, it still consists of two parts:

a folio, which must meet the folio parameters, and

a product, which may be presented in a folder or as a collection of drawings for display. There is no size

restriction on the product itself, but for advice regarding overall size of projects, see:

18


reporting.pdf

If both the product and folio are on paper, best practice is to present them in separate, clearly labelled

folders.

12. Is there a minimum size for photographs?

Photographs included in the folio should be large enough for the markers to clearly see the intended

features. Photographs should measure at least 80 mm x 50 mm to ensure clarity.

13. Is it OK to scan original sketches and reduce them to fit the folio? Should the originals be

included as an appendix?

Scans of sketches may be included and it is not necessary to attach the originals. It is appropriate to resize

sketches to fit onto an A4 or A3 page.

As with all other folio elements, it is important to consider whether included sketches – or scanned sketches

– will help address the examination criteria.

14. Is 80 pages sufficient space to demonstrate to markers that a project is all a student’s own

work?

Students must certify that the project is their own original work, and that any material drawn from other

sources and/or any outside assistance are acknowledged. (See section 9.3.4 Certification of submitted

works and practical performances in the Assessment, Certification and Examination (ACE) Manual and

HSC: All My Own Work). Note that, as it is intended that the syllabus content is taught through the

development of the submitted project, all or most of the project is to be completed at school under the

supervision of the class teacher. Teachers must certify that students have completed the work under

supervision, and according to the Board of Studies rules.

It is expected that teachers will meet regularly with students undertaking a project, and keep a record of the

student’s progress.

Principals and teachers are required to certify that:

work on the major project was done under a teacher’s supervision

the work is consistent with drafts and other samples of the student’s work

the work was completed by the due date.

If markers require more information, they can request to see the supervising teacher’s record of the

student’s progress.

15. The results of testing are excluded from the page restrictions. Does this mean surveys should

be placed in the folio?

No. The results of testing refers to material samples that have been subjected to physical tests (for

example stress test, test of flammability and load tests).

If surveys have been used, including all completed copies will not address the examination criteria. A pro

forma of any survey used should be included, along with an analysis of the results.
