The Unit Big Idea The Engineering Design process is a systematic, iterative problem solving method which produces solutions to meet human wants and desires. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology ©International Technology Education Association Center to Advance the Teaching of Technology & Science Engineering byDesign™
The Lesson Big Idea The Engineering Design Process is incomplete until the solution to the design problem has been communicated to its intended audience. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology ©International Technology Education Association Center to Advance the Teaching of Technology & Science Engineering byDesign™
Communication Engineers and designers communicate with different audiences Clients Manufacturing companies Government agencies Marketing companies © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology ©International Technology Education Association Center to Advance the Teaching of Technology & Science Engineering byDesign™
Purpose of Communication Reflection on the process Gathering ideas and feedback from others Communicating successes and failures during the design process Communicating the final design to the target market © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology ©International Technology Education Association Center to Advance the Teaching of Technology & Science Engineering byDesign™
Communicating With Stakeholder Groups Must utilize effective communication skills Incorporate different presentation formats depending on Purpose Audience © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology ©International Technology Education Association Center to Advance the Teaching of Technology & Science Engineering byDesign™
Preparing to Communicate 1. What is the purpose of your presentation? 2. Are you trying to educate, persuade, inform, etc.? 3. Who is the audience? 4. What is their background knowledge? 5. What will they want to know? 6. How will the audience stay engaged? © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology ©International Technology Education Association Center to Advance the Teaching of Technology & Science Engineering byDesign™
More Questions 7. Do you want audience interaction? 8. How will you present visuals related to your topic? 9. How much time do you have for the presentation? 10. Where will the presentation be held? 11. Do you have access to technology such as a computer, projector, etc.? © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology ©International Technology Education Association Center to Advance the Teaching of Technology & Science Engineering byDesign™
