DESIGN & MANUFACTURE
Design and Manufacture will make you see the world completely differently.
Every product - from a toothbrush to a games console - has been created by designers and engineers. They think differently from others; they see opportunities for invention and creativity. They create the future.
In Design and Manufacture you will learn about problem solving, design development, innovation, sketching, communicating and presenting. You will work with lots of different materials, tools and processes to turn your ideas into reality...
