Introduction
Introduction text
CCEA has developed a new GCE Technology and Design specifications for first teaching from
September 2011. This scheme of work has been designed to support you in introducing the new
specification and was produced by practicing teachers who will be teaching the specification.
The scheme of work provides suggestions for organising and supporting students learning
activities. It is intended to assist you in developing your own schemes of work and should not be
considered as being prescriptive or exhaustive.
Please remember that this scheme of work is intended only as a pathway through the content of
the specification, not as a replacement. It is the specification on which assessment is based and
which details the knowledge, understanding and skills that students need to acquire during the
course. This scheme of work should therefore be used in conjunction with the specification.
Published resources and web references included in the scheme of work have been checked and
are correct at the date of issue but may be updated by the time that the specification is
introduced. You should therefore check with publishers and websites for the latest versions.
CCEA accepts no responsibility for the content of listed publications or websites.
CCEA will be making Word versions of this scheme of work available on the subject micro-site.
This will enable you to use them as a foundation for developing your own schemes of work
which are matched to your teaching and learning environments and the needs of your students.
CCEA are developing a number of web-based support materials to support you introducing the
new specification, including PowerPoint presentations, case studies and vod casts.
We hope that you find this aspect of our support package useful in your teaching.
Best wishes

Communication illustrate designs using 2D and 3D methods to include freehand
sketching, pictorial, orthographic projection (3rd angle only) and
use of mixed media;
enhance drawings e.g. use of rendering and texture;
produce quantitative drawings e.g. graphs, pie and bar charts,
pictograms and sequential flow charts;

General group discussion on sustainability on a local level,
extend to global implications
Focus on types of energy available, discuss issues relating to
availability, conservation and pollution.
Students will fully research issues surrounding selected
energy type and present back to class electronically or on an
A4 sheet.
Students will list products that are easy to recycle and those
that are not.
