The IGCSE Design and Technology syllabus enables students to identify, consider and solve problems through creative thinking, planning and design, and by working with different media, materials and tools. As a result, students gain greater technical and design awareness, while developing skills such as initiative, resourcefulness, enquiry and ingenuity. They also develop the communication skills central to design making and evaluation. IGCSE Design and Technology provides an ideal basis for further study, and prepares students for their future within a rapidly changing technological society. Changes to the syllabus will apply from the June 2007 examination session.
