Content: In Design, Technology and Engineering, students use the design and realisation process to engineer solutions for the development of products or systems. Students Investigate and analyse design features, processes, materials, and production techniques and apply creative thinking to the design of a solution. Apply knowledge and understanding of skills, processes, engineering procedures, and techniques using technology to realise the solution. Evaluate the solution with reference to the design brief and reflect on processes used in design development and realisation. Analyse ethical, legal, economic and/or sustainability issues related to technology, materials selected, processes used and/or solution design.
Apply appropriate skills, processes, procedures and techniques whilst implementing safe work practices in the creation of the solution. Learn about and test material properties and characteristics to make informed choices to manufacture functional items. This may include functional or creative piece or modification to an existing item
