Ministry Curriculum

Overview

To look at a skyscraper, a powerful automobile, a robotic assembly line, or a bridge linking two shores is to see the work of a technical designer. A designer’s role is to apply knowledge of materials, mathematics, trends, and fabrication methods to formulate or innovate products, services, and methods. The technologies and processes used to create design solutions may include both traditional and computer-based drawing methods and models, animations and simulations, and displays. Technological design education focuses on the practical application of the principles of design, engineering, and architecture to promote solutions to challenges in communications, manufacturing, electronics, transportation, and architecture. Students will develop the analytic skills required to determine user needs, to generate many solutions, and to select the most suitable one.They will also acquire the communication skills needed to present the solution in the form of technical drawings, models, reports, and displays; the technical skills required to perform engineering and scientific tests and analyses; and the evaluation skills needed to compare the chosen solution to the original problem.
