Course Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to apply electronic systems to textile design and production processes.The unit applies to the development of intricate textile designs with multiple features using computer based design programs that enable technically accurate reproduction of the design. Design specifications and patterns will be calculated using appropriate software. The design brief may be provided by a client or be of own determination.

Details of Learning Activities
Learning activities are conducted within a computing laboratory and specialist machine rooms. The activities are designed for clients to gain knowledge, skills, and expertise at using CAD for textile design and production.
Advanced principles of textile design are incorporated into the learning activities, within the textile areas of print, weave and knit structures and pattern. Advanced software skills are applied to personal design project.
Clients have the opportunity to develop ideas for CAD textiles and create a comprehensive digital textile portfolio and textile range to industry specifications and standards.

Overview of Assessment
To achieve successful completion of this course, students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of competency.
Assessment tasks have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner.
Assessment will incorporate a variety of methods including technical requirements documentation, homework and in class exercises, practical problem solving exercises, layout and presentation of textile design
Students will be awarded a grade only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period on the first assessment attempt.
Units assessed as ‘not yet competent’ on a first assessment attempt and ‘competent’ on a second or subsequent attempt are to have results amended to competent but are not eligible for grading.
Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher.
All work must be submitted by the due date. Late submission will not be graded higher than a PASS.
Students will be providede with details of assessment and grading information in first class
