DESIGN - Criterion B - Maximum 6

Remember this is your Design Brief:
Create a new method of communication that could be used by beach guards or the general public. The system should be cheap to produce, easy to learn but complex enough to communicate a range of instructions. The system can be visual, audible, sensory, or a combination of these.

This is from the Unit of Work:
Design
· Design 3 different possibilities
· Decide if a 2-Way system is worth the extra time and expense to develop and justify your choice


According to the IBO: DESIGN

Students are expected to generate several feasible designs that meet the design specification and to evaluate these against the design specification.

Students are then expected to select one design, justify their choice and evaluate this in detail against the design specification.

To get a 5/6: The student generates a range of feasible designs, each evaluated against the design specification. The student justifies the chosen design and evaluates it fully and critically against the design specification.

Learning objectives: generate 3 feasible designs that meet the design specification, evaluate each design against the design specification, select one design and justify its choice.
