The course is designed to encourage candidates to take a broad view of technology and design, to develop their capacity to design and make products and to appreciate the complex relations between design, materials, manufacture and marketing. It is useful to have studied a GCSE in Graphic Design, Resistant Materials or Electronics or Art & Design. 3D Design is intended to reflect the wide ranging activities of professional designers and covers a wide range of materials. Written papers will be restricted to testing the core content, but other materials such as ceramics and textiles to other areas such as electronics and mechanisms can be incorporated to produce exciting coursework. Communication Methods and graphics are an integral part of any Design and Technology work. It is important in any D&T course that candidates can communicate their thinking clearly and represent their ideas graphically. There is opportunity for graphically focused coursework, but all project work requires three dimensional outcomes. Students can choose alternate material areas or focus on the same material area on all units. All coursework will be determined by the candidate and teacher. There is huge scope for diverse coursework ideas
