Design and Communications Graphics (DCG) is the follow on to JC Technical Graphics. The subject replaced Technical Drawing in 2008 and is a really exciting subject which offers students a very new and exciting approach to geometry and computer aided design. The course covers topics such as design, sketching and extensive use of IT equipment.
Solidworks is the 3D software package used in the DCG room. A brilliant package which allows students to model everyday objects.
