Unit of Competency CUADES601 - Design innovative products
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design and develop innovative products and creative works that are ‘market-ready’ at a professional level.It applies to individuals who conceive and develop innovative products across all areas of creative practice. Work may be physical, virtual or conceptual and could be artistic or functional.The work is carried out independently or as part of a creative team.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

resources, tools, materials and equipment for realisation of a design in a specific context

interaction with others to support design development and realisation.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Define design challenge
  • . Conceptualise a design innovation and determine potential target market
  • . Investigate and clarify purpose, medium, technical requirements, costs and timeframes for product
  • Confirm that industry standards, intellectual property and other relevant legal requirements are met
  • Articulate concept using appropriate representation formats
       
Element: Generate ideas and responses to design challenge
  • Undertake research and consultation to inform design solution
  • Use range of creative thinking techniques to generate different options and ideas
  • Apply relevant principles of functionality, ergonomics, aesthetics and sustainability to development of different options
  • Develop and use range of criteria to evaluate different options and ideas
  • Select preferred solution against agreed criteria and in consultation with relevant stakeholders
       
Element: Implement and monitor realisation of design
  • Develop plan and schedule to achieve realisation of design, including key roles and responsibilities linked to timelines and budget
  • Experiment with range of techniques and processes to test and refine design solution
  • Organise and allocate resources to achieve realisation of design within required standards, timelines and budget
  • Liaise with others involved in design realisation to ensure obligations and quality standards are met within time, budget and technical resources
  • Monitor processes and take action to resolve any identified problems
       
Element: Complete design process
  • Finalise design outcomes, and present and promote to relevant people
  • Seek feedback on finished design and make final adjustments as necessary
  • Evaluate completed product and realisation processes to inform future development work
       


Evidence Required

generate options and ideas and select a design solution, in collaboration with others

develop a plan to realise a design solution

implement, monitor and evaluate design realisation.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

outline commonly used research methodologies for market analysis in the relevant area of practice

outline production processes as they apply to designs in particular industry contexts

describe quality assurance processes for product design and development applicable to specific industry contexts and art and design disciplines

explain the design features of completed work and the potential market

outline legislation relevant to product design concepts in the specific industry context.
