Summary

This free unit is subdivided into four topics plus an end-of-unit assessment spread across roughly five lessons. It is a theoretical unit covering the latest Edexcel Design and Technology specification 1DT0. The first lesson looks at the impact of new and emerging technology on industry and enterprise before moving on to look at the effect that industry can have on the environment. The influence that people, culture and society have on product development and vice versa are covered in the third lesson. Contemporary production techniques and scales are then covered in the final lesson before students subsequently sit an assessment test comprising questions similar to those found on the GCSE exam paper.
