What Is Technology Technology refers to the products and processes that are designed to serve our needs. Technology also refers to the tools and methods for creating these products. Technology applies to any product, process, or knowledge that is developed to meet a need.

Engineering is the process of creating technology. Scientists, inventors, business owners, artists, and even students have also engineered new technologies. Anyone can follow the engineering design process to solve a problem or address a need.

How Does Science Relate to Technology? Engineering uses scientific knowledge to develop technologies. Engineers use science and mathematics to create new technologies that serve human needs. There are many different types of engineers who develop a variety of very different products.

What is the Engineering Design Process? The engineering design process has similarities to the scientific process. Like the scientific process, some steps may require repeating or modifying to fit different needs.

Step 1 Ask: Identifying and Researching a Need Engineers define and describe the need or problem they are trying to solve. Research provides engineers with information for problem solving.

Step 2 Imagine: Developing Possible Solutions Brainstorming is the process in which a group of people share ideas quickly to promote additional ideas. Sometimes a possible solution to the problem comes from these ideas or it may take more time and thought.

Step 3 Plan: Making a prototype A prototype is a test model of the product. Prototypes allow engineers to see if their design works the way they expect it to.

Step 4 Create: Testing and Evaluating Prototypes are tested and evaluated. Engineers complete a cost-benefit analysis to make sure that the cost of designing and producing the new product is worth its benefit.

Step 5 Improve: Modifying and Retesting the Solution If a prototype was not successful or did not work well, engineers would either modify their prototype or try a new solution. It is important that the engineers consider what was learned from the first prototype before they begin the design process again.

Communication: Engineers often need to share their successes, failures, and reasoning with others. Engineers may explain and promote the technology to customers, or they may communicate with the public through news releases, advertisements, or journals.

5 Steps to the Engineering design process

Technology and Society Technology provides solutions for many types of social, and economic needs. Intended Benefit An intended benefit is the positive purpose for which a technology is designed to be used. Cell phones allow people to stay connected with others and to call for help....

Unintended Consequences are uses or results that engineers do not purposely include in the design of products. An unintended consequence can be beneficial. These towers have been disguised as trees to minimize their detracting from landscape

I can: Describe the difference between adaptive and assisted bioengeneering? Bioengineering The application of engineering to living things, such as humans and plants, is called bioengineering.

I can: Describe the difference between adaptive and assisted bioengeneering? Bioengineered technologies can be classified as either assistive or adaptive. Assistive technologies are developed to help organisms without changing them. Boys gets prosthetic hand made by 3-D printer

Adaptive bioengineered products change the living organism. I can : Describe the difference between adaptive and assisted bioengeneering? Adaptive bioengineered products change the living organism. Prosthetic heart is an artificial organ that is permanently Implanted inside the human body

Assistive or Adaptive? I can : Describe the difference between adaptive and assisted bioengeneering? Assistive or Adaptive?

I can : Describe the 3 different types of models? A representation of an object or a system is called a model or prototype.

3 Types of Scientific Models I can : Describe the 3 different types of models? 3 Types of Scientific Models 1. Physical Models look like the thing they represent. For example, the model flower shown at right can be used to learn the parts of a real flower.

I can : Describe the 3 different types of models? 2. Mathematical Models are made up of mathematical equations and data. The weather map shown below is a mathematical model.

I can : Describe the 3 different types of models? 3. Conceptual Models are systems of ideas or are based on making comparisons with familiar things to explain an idea.

Models Are Just the Right Size I can : Describe the 3 different types of models? Models Are Just the Right Size Models are often used to represent things that are very small or very large. For example, a cell in your body or the planet Earth would need a model for you to be able to study it.

I can : Describe the 3 different types of models? Models are often used to help illustrate and explain scientific theories. In science, a theory is a unifying explanation for a broad range of hypotheses and observations that have been supported by testing.
