A Level in Design and Technology: Systems and Control Technology

UPDATED 20161019 13:01:38

Systems and Control is a Technology course which looks at the practical side of how systems work using electronics, gears, and pneumatics. Our course allows you to meet your unique set of needs and abilities, whilst ensuring you are set the highest expectations that will challenge you. You are encouraged to think, question and enquire. Systems and Control is not just about doing but is about interactively thinking and doing. Solutions are not always as obvious as you may think. So if you are interested in making and learning how things work, you may want to consider studying Systems and Control. Systems and Control combines theory with practice. This is a problem-solving subject that uses not just the brain, not just the hands but combines both. This subject also combines academic study with design skills and practical application. Students start work on their Unit 4 coursework project 50 percent where they work on their major project. During the Summer Term the students identify and research the need. In September students start by designing and developing their product which culminates in the manufacture and evaluation of a fully functional product. Students learn about materials and components, design and market influences and processes and manufacture during theory lessons which are examined in the written paper in the summer.
