IB Design & Technology Internal Assessment (IA) Support

The IBDP Design Technology curriculum encourages students to explore the role of design in shaping the material world. It combines inquiry, problem-solving, and practical skills with in-depth study of core technological concepts. Students develop the ability to create solutions that are functional, aesthetic, and sustainable, applying design thinking frameworks and systems thinking to modern challenges.

Subject Objectives:

  • Understand the impact of design on society, culture, and the environment

  • Apply the design cycle to solve complex, authentic problems

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of design solutions using scientific and technological principles

  • Analyze and utilize different modeling techniques (physical and digital)

  • Demonstrate advanced communication through design portfolios and technical drawings

Key Topics Include:

  • Human Factors and Ergonomics

  • Resource Management and Sustainable Production

  • Modeling and CAD

  • Raw Materials to Final Production

  • Innovation and Design Process

  • Classic Design

  • Product Development Life Cycle

  • Energy Systems

Assessment Structure

  • Paper 1 (30%): Multiple Choice Questions based on core topics. This paper tests factual knowledge and understanding of core concepts through structured MCQs.

  • Paper 2 (30%): Structured responses requiring data analysis and evaluation of design problems. This includes application of design theory, interpreting diagrams, and proposing innovative solutions.

  • Paper 3 (HL Only) (20%): In-depth questions on HL-specific topics such as innovation, commercial production, strategic development, and advanced material selection.

  • Internal Assessment (IA) (20%): A personal design project that documents the entire design cycle—from problem identification and ideation to prototype development and evaluation. This is internally marked and externally moderated.

Our online IB Design Technology tutors ensure students understand command terms, improve analytical writing, and prepare thoroughly for all assessments.

IB Design Technology Extended Essay (EE) Support

An Extended Essay in Design Technology requires students to explore a specific design challenge or issue in depth, combining theoretical knowledge and practical application.
