The distinguishing feature of any Design and Technology course is its practical nature. Knowledge and understanding are not to be acquired purely for their own sake, but in order to apply them to the solution of practical problems which arise in everyday life and in industrial and commercial contexts. Designing is a process-based activity involving the progressive engagement with a problem which requires thinking, creating, inventing, predicting, experimenting, decision making, constant evaluation and where necessary modification. Designers develop an awareness of the opportunities and constraints placed upon them by taking account of the demands of users and producers and of market forces.
