Broad General Education



Overview

Broad general education covers primary to third year of secondary school in Scotland.

Unlike SQA qualifications, Education Scotland have set a series of experiences and outcomes that are expected to be covered by all pupils. These experiences and outcomes can be found at the Education Scotland website. 

These projects have been designed to help cover these experiences and outcomes.

Graphic Communication

Graphic Communication is a wide ranging course covering everything from graphic design and architecture to photo realistic rendering and CAD/CAM. There are a huge range of skills developed in this course and great design and engineering knowledge. 

There four projects introduce some of the major concepts of the subject.

Design & Manufacture

Design and Manufacture is a course designed to help pupils develop skills in problem-solving and prototype manufacture. Pupils will learn about the design process, ideation, iteration and model-making. It is a broad course covering a lot of knowledge. 

These four topic areas help pupils to prepare for the courses at qualification level.

Engineering Science

Engineering Science brings the practical application of physics and mathematics to the world of creativity and problem-solving. Pupils learn about various scientific principles and different branches of engineering. 

There are may different aspects of Engineering Science, but I find these four topics to be the most engaging for Broad General Education level.
