Question 11 (15 marks) Please turn over 345 5 Question 11 (15 marks) The articles below highlight some issues related to fruit picking and handling. Injured fruit pickers sue farmers This year has seen a dramatic rise in seasonal fruit pickers seeking compensation for broken bones, back and shoulder pain and other lifting-related injuries. It seems that falling off ladders, and heavy fruit-picking bags, are the primary causes of the accidents, up 10% from last year. Union representatives for the unskilled pickers say inappropriate equipment is to blame but growers claim lack of care is the issue and that expensive new bags, ladders and boxes would increase fruit prices at the supermarkets. Bruised fruit adds pain Lower yields of apples and pears due to the drought are not the only concern of orchard growers this year. A new study has revealed that up to 20% of the crop can be bruised by careless picking. Most pickers are paid by the quantity of fruit they pick, so careful handling gets little attention. Fruit dropped into bags, and careless transfer from bag to crate resulted in over 90% of all bruising. The remaining 10% is caused when the full crates are transferred by tractor to the packing sheds for sorting and chilling. Question 11 continues on page 7 6 Marks Question 11 (continued) (a) Outline TWO design opportunities related to the issues in the articles. 2 ............................................................................................................................... ............................................................................................................................... ............................................................................................................................... ...............................................................................................................................

End of Question 11 8 Board of Studies NSW 2003 5 2003 HIGHER SCHOOL CERTIFIC ATE EXAMINATION Design and Technology Section III 15 marks Attempt ONE question from Questions 12 14 Allow about 40 minutes for this section Answer the question in a writing booklet. Extra writing booklets are available. Marks Question 12 (15 marks) Creativity is not confined to individuals traditionally considered to be creative. All people are capable of being creative, and most people s creative abilities can be enhanced through motivational stimuli. Consider the above statement. With reference to a designer/designers you have investigated, or designing you have been involved in, answer the following questions. (a) Describe how initial design ideas may be inspired from motivational stimuli. Use examples to support your answer. 3 (b) Creativity in design is not limited to the initial idea, as it should be evident throughout the design process. 4 Explain where and how this occurs. (c) Critically analyse the role that ongoing evaluation has in the successful implementation of creative design. Use examples to support your answer. OR 346 9 8 Marks Question 13 (15 marks) Use the stimulus material to answer Question 13. Consciously or not, the design of products and processes is the main determinant of environmental impact. The engineers and environmental managers at a factory can reduce an emission here or make less waste there, but there are limits to how much improvement can be made in those ways. Design is the key intervention point for making radical improvements in the environmental performance of products and all their by-products as well! EDWIN DATSCHEFSKI, Total Beauty, 2000 I wake up and put on my fleece top made from recycled plastic bottles. I strap on my thermic quartz watch, which runs on my body heat. A sustainable day The chair is made from only aluminium and polypropylene, both over 99% pure, and is held together with only five screws, making it very recyclable. I contribute a few ideas, drawing them on the flipchart with soya bean crayons. Then I get into my hybrid engine car, which I run on electric power through the suburbs, before switching to petrol to go down the motorway to work. I choose a packagingfree burrito wrap and an eat-the-stick ice lolly. www.biothinking.com Reproduced with permission of Edwin Datschefski. (a) Identify TWO sources of sustainable energy and describe how each has a positive impact on the environment. 3 (b) Choose ONE example from the stimulus material, and explain the process the designer would most likely have used to identify environmental problems and to make appropriate design decisions. 4 (c) Critically analyse the ethical and environmental implications of sustainable product design. Use examples to support your answer. 8 OR 10 Marks Question 14 (15 marks) Emerging electronic technologies have a significant impact on our daily lives. The illustrations and photographs above demonstrate technological change and social interaction. Use these and/or other examples to answer the following questions. (a) Describe TWO ways in which electronic games have changed the social habits of teenagers. 3 (b) Discuss the ethical issues related to TWO electronic communication technologies. 4 (c) Critically analyse how emerging communication technologies impact on the way people interact. Use examples to support your answer. 8 End of paper 11 BLANK PAGE 12 Board of Studies NSW 2003
