Introduction Science and technology are closely related in the things that studied but the two have different goals. ________is a way of changing the natural world to meet human needs or solve problems

Introduction An engineer is someone who is trained to use both technological and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems. Engineers often follow a set of steps called the technology design process.

Technology Design Process Identify a Need Researching the Problem Designing a Solution Build a Prototype Troubleshooting and Redesigning Communicating the Solution

Technology Design Process Identifying a Need Discover that there is a problem Researching the Problem After define our problem, then we need to research the problem fully. Discover what needs to be done to fix the problem

Technology Design Process Designing a Solution The_________ is one that meets the needs and has the fewest negative characteristics. __________ is a process in which group members freely suggest any creative solutions that come to mind.

Technology Design Process Designing a Solution (cont) A constraint ______________________ ________________________________________________________________ A trade-off ____________ _______________________ The goal is to appeal to the customers.

Technology Design Process Building a Prototype A prototype is a working model used to test a design. Some prototypes are full sized and made of the materials proposed for the final product. Many of today’s prototypes are virtual.

Technology Design Process Troubleshooting and Redesigning Locate and redesign our product to address any problems that developed with the prototype The process of analyzing a design problem and finding a way to fix it is called_________________.

Technology Design Process Communicating the Solution Communicate to ___________. Communicate____________.

Technology as a System All Systems are made of parts that work together. A technology system includes: A goal Inputs Processes Outputs Feedback (only some)
