The concept behind this undergraduate degree in Technical Design and Technology is the liberal study of technology and the flexibility of employment. Within this degree, the learner develops foundation knowledge and hands-on skills about the domains of technological design and manufacturing processes, graphical communication, engineering drawing, electrical and electronic circuits, materials, mechanical structures and mechanisms. The degree offers opportunity to view technological products as user-centred and discusses the development of values related to technology and its uses by modern society. Apart from encouraging enterprising job initiatives, this degree is the ideal springboard for employment within professions that communicate technology such as the Masters in Teaching and Learning postgraduate degree in Education.
This course is intended for students who have a flair for design and an initiative for design entrepreneurship and innovation. The course provides a very broad entry into employments that ‘do’ technology, ‘co-ordinate’ technology, or ‘communicate’ technology. It is especially relevant for students who wish to become teachers of the curricular subjects of Technical Design and Technology, Graphical Communication or vocational Engineering Technology.
