At Urangan State High School, Design Technology is more than a subject – it’s an opportunity for students to become creative, curious and connected problem-solvers who can shape the future. Our program blends innovative thinking with practical skills, offering a rich pathway for students interested in design, engineering, manufacturing and sustainable technologies.
Students explore a wide range of learning experiences across product design, computer-aided drawing (CAD), 3D modelling, digital fabrication, and traditional workshop practices. Using industry-standard equipment and software, they learn how to transform ideas into working prototypes and finished products. From designing everyday solutions to tackling complex real-world challenges, students develop their creativity, collaboration skills and confidence.
Our specialist facilities are equipped with modern technologies such as laser cutters, 3D printers, CNC routers and precision hand tools, as well as traditional woodworking and metalworking equipment. This combination allows students to engage with both cutting-edge techniques and the foundations of craftsmanship.
The program places strong emphasis on innovation, sustainability and human-centred design. Students are encouraged to think critically about the impact of their work on society and the environment while considering aesthetics, usability and function. This holistic approach gives them transferable skills highly valued in future trades, engineering fields and tertiary design studies.
By participating in design challenges, collaborative projects and competitions, students experience the excitement of real-world problem solving. They gain insights into teamwork, project management and presentation skills, preparing them for a wide variety of future pathways.
Through our Design Technology program, Urangan State High School cultivates a generation of forward-thinking innovators equipped with the practical skills and creative mindset to succeed in an ever-changing world.
