OCR LEVEL 12 CAMBRIDGE NATIONALS IN ENGINEERING DESIGN

This booklet shows how some Practical Action challenges map to Cambridge Nationals in Engineering Engineering Design Units R105 to R108

Practical Action has some interesting ideas which will inspire your learners to consider the design of products which could improve the lives of people in different areas of the world

The resources from Practical Action are designed to support and encourage projects with an engineering content Project ideas enable schools to use the Practical Action resources in conjunction with the listed projects or develop similar school projects using this model In this example each project lists some learning outcomes of the Cambridge National in Engineering Design and show how projects link to learning resources

These project links cover a limited number of Learning Outcomes therefore to ensure all learning is covered through the learning experience other projects or teaching will be necessary We recommend centres explore the full range of learning resources and support materials available for this qualification

Climate change ndash Floating Gardens

International context For people who live in areas covered by water during the monsoon season such as the riverine areas of Bangladesh it is impossible to grow crops Practical Action helps farmers to build floating gardens to enable farmers to grow food on flooded land

As we see more lsquowild weatherrsquo in the UK explore and develop a product that can help small-scale farmers or gardeners to grow crops during times of flooding

Reduce Reuse Recycle

International context For many years reducing reusing and recycling products has been recommended as a way of reducing the damage making new products causes to the environment

In the UK alone we use about 20 times more plastic than we did 20 years ago But managing plastic waste is also a global problem with increasing amounts of waste in developing countries as well as industrialised countries As demonstrated from projects in Nepal there are business opportunities for new products from reusing and recycling plastics

Design and make a product that includes materials that are reused or recycled

Reduce Reuse Recycle

International context For many years reducing reusing and recycling products has been recommended as a way of reducing the damage making new products causes to the environment

In the UK alone we use about 20 times more plastic than we did 20 years ago But managing plastic waste is also a global problem with increasing amounts of waste in developing countries as well as industrialised countries As demonstrated from projects in Nepal there are business opportunities for new products from reusing and recycling plastics

Design and make a product that includes materials that are reused or recycled
