Design, Technology and Engineering

Overview Part 1

Overview

Design, Technology and Engineering students use the design and realisation process to engineer solutions for the development of products or systems. 

The subject is organised into four contexts:

  • Digital Communication Solutions
  • Industry and Entrepreneurial Solutions
  • Material Solutions
  • Robotic and Electronic Systems

These contexts provide students with opportunities to develop design thinking to investigate solutions, develop a plan, realise the solution, and evaluate the outcome.
