Pupils design and produce a promotional point-of-sale system. They identify their client's key issues, follow the design process and manufacture a product to meet the client's needs. 

Pupils discover the relevance of systems and controls within industry, specifically the practical application of pneumatics within an agri-food company. They complete a scenario-based challenge related to a labelling and stamping mechanism used in the context of packaging animal feed products.

Pupils become aware of some of the issues facing the advanced engineering (transport) sector (namely passenger safety and security, and sustainability). They develop practical skills through the scenario provided and follow the design process to manufacture a product.

Pupils take on the role of product designers in a company that specialises in advanced medical robotics. They design and make a prototype nanobot that can enter the bloodstream to clear built-up cholesterol from the arteries. They then program and control their nanobot to carry out a simulated medical intervention.

Pupils work in groups as product designers. They respond to a real-life scenario by identifying key issues; producing an innovative, technological solution; and considering the marketing and advertising of their designed product.
