(education, UK) A school subject combining elements of woodwork, metalwork and plastic-work, sometimes a module of a larger design and technology syllabus.
This is clear, for example, in the case of GCSE D&T, where students have to follow a core course in resistant materials but can gain a GCSE by combining this with another course in food technology or textiles technology
