Summary

This unit is subdivided into six topics plus an end-of-unit assessment spread across roughly seven lessons. It is a theoretical unit covering the latest Edexcel Design and Technology specification 1DT0. The processing and sustainability of extracting textiles from their raw materials is covered before looking at stock forms and their advantages. School and commercial manufacturing processes including cutting, shaping and finishing methods are covered as well as the different scales of production. Quality control is investigated, and various surface treatments and finishes are characterised before students subsequently sit an assessment test comprising questions similar to those found on the GCSE exam paper.

What people say...

“
”

Increasingly more Design & Technology students are keen to incorporate electronics and some form of robotics in their product design. PG Online’s Python & Visual Basic programming and software guides are the ideal starting point.

This is such a steep learning curve, but PG Online materials have been great and really support me and my students.
