Studying Engineering within Design and Technology, empowers students to understand how things work, how they are made and how to improve them. It fosters problem-solving, creativity and precision. These are skills essential for designing innovative, safe and sustainable solutions. By exploring materials and using machines such as centre lathes and milling machines, learners gain hands on experience and critical thinking abilities that bridge theory and real-world application. This section of the website introduces pupils to many of the engineering skills they will need, for careers in this interesting and important area.
