Resistant Materials Technology:
Resistant Materials Technology is concerned with the activities of designing and making, using the materials of wood, metal and plastic. The course encourages pupils to develop a range of practical skills and demonstrate their ability to make quality products.

The course looks at methods of production used in industry from CAD/CAM to batch and mass production.

Systems and Control Technology:
Systems and Control Technology is concerned with designing and making products using electronic and mechanical systems. Products are manufactured using Industrial techniques, with CAD/CAM being at the centre of the manufacturing process. Pupils combine knowledge from other subjects, including mathematics and Science with Design Technology to demonstrate through their project work, how control techniques can be successfully used in a range of products. Projects are constructed in wood, metal and plastic incorporating electronics and mechanisms.

Graphic Products:
Graphic Products is the designing and making of things that people want and that work well. Creating these things is an exciting and inventive activity.

Activities include learning new graphic techniques including colour tonal work, use of pastels, crayons and airbrush etc and the formal drawing techniques of orthographic and isometric projection. ICT is used throughout the course. Pupils develop practical skills through using a range of suitable modelling materials from Styrofoam to balsa wood.
