This is a complete text that provides detailed and concise coverage of all the topics and disciplines covered in the new Edexcel 1DT0 Design and Technology (9-1) specification, written and presented in a way that is accessible to teenagers and easy to teach from. It will be invaluable both as a course text and as a revision guide for students nearing the end of their course.

It is divided into neat sections covering every element of the specification. Sections 6-1 to 6-6 of the textbook cover each of the six specialist material categories. These sections would complement practical classroom experience.
