Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
MSTTD5007 (ISYS7574C)Develop textile designs using computer-based design programs
Course Description
In this course you will explore the diverse application of computer-based design programs that enable technical and accurate reproduction of your design ideas. You will use the software to assist you in the development of design specifications, patterns and apply checking and calculation tools embedded in the software to assist you in the efficient and accurate development of textile designs.
Using a full range of the tools available in the software packages will allow you to develop intricate textile designs with multiple features.
The learning for this unit is contextualised for electronic systems that are used when creating, either, printed, knitted or woven textiles.

Overview of Assessment
This course is assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment. To demonstrate competency in this course you will need to complete all the assessment to a satisfactory standard.
You will receive feedback from the teacher at the conclusion of each assessment task.
Competency is achieved only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period. Students are advised that they may be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to confirm aspects of competency not evidenced in class or through assessments.
Results for this course are delivered and assessed in accordance with competency-based assessment are:
CA: Competency Achieved
NYC: Not Yet Competent
DNS: Did not Submit for Assessment
If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.
