Design and technology

Greetings... to the countable audience of my blog.

I shall write breifly about design and technology (D & T)
It is a very sophisticated and educated procedure. Definitely not a subject. This "subject" tends to squeeze the guts out of ur ribs and then kick you out of the window. Certainly not for the faint of heart. It combines three different heavy segments together, into one big course of study. It supplies as well as demands many different skills, intelligence and resources to fund the project. At the start of the year, our company team is assigned a theme, coupled with many deadlines to meet and other relevant issues to juggle. Then, it is all up to us. According to the formal design procedure, we employees are to tackle the common every-day problems associated to our theme, come up with a solution in a state-of-the-arts fashion and then produce a proto-type. This proto-type must be top-notch and marketable. Through the lengthy and tedious design procedure, we must provide extensive research (on areas usually not of our genre), list down the requirements of our product and attend regular meetings to discuss important issues pertaining to our product. We also have a very interesting job-scope; which is to bombard society with something new, and something very much relevant... much to the dismay of our creative juices. Our analysis of the issue, and identification of common problems will then lead us into our detailed development of our prototype, whereby our team must form the best solution, and elimate all forms of flaws and serve the best quality product with extended affordability. Next our work will then shift to the marketing and planning procedure (which is very important), whereby we will have to present our solution and design to our clients, schedule the dates, and coordinate the time to meet our companies' deadline target in sales and profits. After mass production, we will have to do an extensive evaluation of our project, not forgetting market surveys and much calculations of the overall statistics of our project etc etc. Modifications from here on may be necessary. As we look through the design procedure, development, brainstorming session and planning, we should be all set to present our product to our clients, and draw in substantial critical grading and moderation before it is marketed. Next we will need to be knowledgable in the area of our theory, tackling long problems in written-form and providing the best solutions and techniques. After all this, at the end of the year, we will hope to receive company bonuses and rewards, as well as higher responsibilties and status.
