Design Technology

This book is as per the IBDP Design Technology curriculum & syllabus meant for IBDP students. 

The IB Diploma Programme Design Technology course aims to develop internationally-minded people whose enhanced understanding of design and the technological world can facilitate our shared guardianship of the planet and create a better world.

Students will focus on analysis, design development, synthesis and evaluation. With inquiry and problem solving at the heart of the subject, students will study the use of the design cycle as a tool, which provides the methodology used to structure the inquiry and analysis of problems, the development of feasible solutions, and the testing and evaluation of the solution.

Design technology achieves a high level of design literacy by enabling students to develop critical-thinking and design skills, which they can apply in a practical context. While designing may take various forms, it will involve the selective application of knowledge within an ethical framework.
