Design, Technology and Engineering is fundamentally about converting ideas and raw materials into the products that we all need and use every day of our lives.
Everything around us has been designed; from the User Interface of the latest Digital Apps for the cars we drive, the submarines and ships we build and the buildings we visit, live, and work in. They all have been designed and they all have been made.
