Technology and Creativity Information STEMCenter for Teaching & Learning™ Engineering byDesign™ Technology and Creativity Information 12/01/2009 Inventions and Innovations are developed to satisfy a need or want. Many inventions or innovations require creativity. Corporations can often create demand for a product by bringing it onto the market and advertising it. Technological ideas are sometimes protected through the process of patenting. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ [Name of Course Guide] © International Technology Education Assoc Slide #14
Technology and Creativity Information Continued STEMCenter for Teaching & Learning™ Engineering byDesign™ Technology and Creativity Information Continued 12/01/2009 Communication of your idea is important to everyone that is part of the design team. Marketing a product involves informing consumers about it as well as assisting in selling and distributing it. Marketing a product involves communicating your idea to many people after the product is made. Solving design challenges also requires designers to use mathematical calculations and simulations before actually making an invention. This saves time and money. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ [Name of Course Guide] © International Technology Education Assoc Slide #15
Science Concepts Review STEMCenter for Teaching & Learning™ Engineering byDesign™ 12/01/2009 Science Concepts Review Simple machines basic mechanical devices for applying a force Newton’s Laws Force on an object causes the object to move. The greater the mass of an object, the greater force is needed to move the mass. The net force on an object is equal to the rate at which it’s momentum changes. A spring scale is used to measure how much work (w=d*f) needs to be done. Work=distance times force. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ [Name of Course Guide] © International Technology Education Assoc Slide #16
