QEGS Engineering Curriculum Maps




In Design & Innovation we QUESTION how products are made, the materials they are made from and the techniques used to make them. We EXPLORE the design process to produce products that have a purpose and understand there needs of a user. We GIVE back by making products to improve our lives and, as a result, we SUCCEED by producing creative products that fulfill a purpose. These are designed and made to the best of our ability and that we are proud of.
