PROJECT GENERAL NOTESThe design should include bench-fitting, fabrication and machine-work.
NB:
Candidates are allowed and encouraged to produce a scaled down version of either
design when realising the artefact. The scale applied to the artefacts should be given
in the Folio. Candidates are also encouraged, where possible, to use and combined
different and relevant materials, e.g. metal, wood or plastic in realising their designs
but the predominant material should be metal.
GENERAL NOTES
When candidates are working on this project, teachers should refer to the syllabus explaining
the design Project and to other design literature and texts for guidance.

PROJECT TIPS
The use of ICT tools and equipment is strongly encouraged.
Project should be submitted by end of November in Form Five (5) and October in
Form Six (6).
Quality projects will score high marks.
