Technology and Design
CCEA qualifications in Technology and Design are available at GCSE and GCE.
Understanding the potential impact of technology is critical to the world around us. Technology is not naturally good or bad. Instead, its effects are complex, hard to estimate accurately and likely to have different values for different people at different times.
Technology and Design is mainly concerned with designing and manufacturing high quality technological products. Every design is influenced by outside factors such as consumer demand, the state of the market, customer expectations and consumer laws.
Studying Technology and Design provides opportunities to tackle and resolve design and technological problems to meet human needs in a range of contexts, such as home, school, leisure, community, business and industry.
