Retail Manufacturing Courier roles

Explain the term finite

Something in limited supply that can’t be replenished when it inevitably runs out

Name two methods of non-renewable energy

Nuclear | Gas/coal/oil

Explain how nuclear energy is produced

``` Nuclear fusion generates heat Makes steam Turns turbines Turns generators Electricity distributed ```

Explain how gas/coal/oil energy is made

``` Fuel is burnt to generate heat Makes steam Turns turbines Turns generators Electricity distributed ```

Name seven sources of renewable energy

``` Hydroelectric Wind Solar photovoltaic Tidal barrage Geothermal Wave Biomass ```

Explain how hydroelectric energy is made

Dam traps water Water released turns turbines Turns generators Electricity distributed

Explain how wind energy is made

Blades designed to catch wind Turns turbines using gears Turns generators Electricity distributed

Explain how solar photovoltaic energy is made

Photovoltaic cells convert light to electricity

Explain how tidal barrage energy is made

Barrage across estuary Turbines tune with tidal change Turns generators Electricity distributed

Explain how wave energy is made

Waves forces air up cylinders to turn turbines Turn generators Electricity distributed

Explain how geothermal energy is made

Cold water pumped through heated rock Steam turns turbines Turns generators Electricity distributed

Explain how biomass energy is made

``` Fuel burnt to generate heat Makes steam Turns turbines Turns genetics Electricity distributed ```

Name four principles of fair trade

Living wage Working conditions Working hours Access to safety equipment and training

Considering usability

Who what when where why

Considering stakeholders

Primary user initial wants/needs Other stakeholders Ongoing stakeholder feedback User testing

Wider considerations

``` (Achiest) Aesthetics (colour, maths, brand) Culture (tradition, age, preferences) Health/welfare (injury, comfort) Inclusive design (anthropometrics) Ethical employement (fair tarde, globalisation create/destroy jobs) Sustainability (throwaway society, waste management, sources) Technology (age, cost, enhancement) ```

Analysing products (SAF)

Aesthetics Function Scale/method of production

Consumer choices (Nerp)

Necessity of gadgets Energy efficiency/reducing consumption (heating, cars, electricity) Reusable/recyclable products Minimal packaging

Producer choices

``` Material source/impact Manufacturing energy/resources Efficient products Life length/durability Recyclable Stakeholder considerations ```

Cradle to cradle example

Adidas trainers | Made using recycled ocean plastic

Uses of sketching

Idea generation Initial ideas Alterations/refinement Marketing

Perspective drawings

One point: lines converge at one point Two point: one 3D angle Three point: immersive 3D simulation Vanishing point: presentation to stakeholders

Working drawings (MADD)

Dimensions Details of components Materials Assembly production

Problem solving

``` Focus group Testing Collaborative design Interviews Questionnaires ```
