Concept of Design and
Technology
Design is the creation of product and services people use. A
design is a composed work of art.
Technology is an organization of knowledge for practical
purpose. Technology is any device or object that an
application of scientific knowledge about the world to help us
complete our task or solve a problem.
Technology is an integral part of our life. We use technological
products everyday in all our activities. Some examples are
mobile phones, television sets, microwave ovens and
passenger buses. Technology involves the creative use of
materials, machines, tools and devices to help people live
easily and comfortably. Modern technology makes things
work better, quicker and more efficiently. Consideration of
safety is also an important aspect of technology

Relationship between vocational
education and technology
Relationship between vocational
education and technology
Vocational education is sometimes referred to as career
education or technical education. Technology is one of
the key building blocks in education and vocational
education.
Technology must therefore be integrated into
vocational education in other to increase skill,
knowledge, attitude and self-reliance.
