Overview:
Industrial Technology and Design is concerned with the interrelationships of people and materials and the inherent dynamic influences of design. They introduce practical oriented learning experiences, involve practical applications of mathematical and scientific principles in the everyday needs of people and provide a grounding for life in a technological age.
INTAD encourages students to design and construct using natural and synthetic materials, to explore the generation and conservation of energy, and to produce electronic and mechanical systems.

Special Features:
Smithfield State High School has been selected as one of fourteen schools in Queensland to participate in the Manufacturing and Engineering Gateway Schools to Industry Project.
