Technology and Engineering
Objective SPI 0807.T/E.1 Identify the tools and procedures needed to test the design features of a prototype. SPI 0807.T/E.2 Evaluate a protocol to determine if the engineering design process was successfully applied. I CAN… Define technology and engineering. Describe the steps of the engineering design process. Evaluate the prototype for effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis.
Technology & Engineering I can define technology and engineering. Technology & Engineering Technology (#84): The products and processes that are designed to serve our needs. Cell phones, computers, GPS, pencil Engineering (#31): the process of creating technology.
Technology and Society I can describe the steps of the engineering design process. I can evaluate the prototype for effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis. Technology and Society Social Faster and better communication Political Improve government needs Economic Create less expensive materials
Engineering Design Process (#32) I can describe the steps of the engineering design process. Engineering Design Process (#32) The process engineers use to develop a new technology. Similar to the scientific method Some steps may need to be repeated or modified.
Steps to the EDP ASK: Identifying and Researching a Need I can describe the steps of the engineering design process. I can evaluate the prototype for effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis. Steps to the EDP ASK: Identifying and Researching a Need IMAGINE: Developing Possible Solutions Brainstorming ideas PLAN: Making a Prototype (#75) (a test model of a product) CREATE: Testing and Evaluating cost-benefit analysis: determining if the cost is worth the benefit. IMPROVE: Modifying and Retesting the Solution Modify the prototype or try a new solution
I can describe the steps of the engineering design process. I can evaluate the prototype for effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis.
OBjectives SPI 0807.T/E.3 Distinguish between the intended benefits and the unintended consequences of a new technology. SPI 0807.T/E.4 Differentiate between adaptive and assistive engineered products (e.g., food, biofuels, medicines, integrated pest management). I CAN… Identify the intended benefits and unintended consequences of a new technology. Differentiate between adaptive and assistive bioengineered products.
Benefits and consequences I can identify the intended benefits and unintended consequences of a new technology. Benefits and consequences Intended benefits(#46): the positive purpose for which a technology is designed to be used. What was the intended benefit of a cell phone? Unintended Consequences (#85): uses or results that engineers do not purposely include in the design of products. Can be positive or negative What are the unintended consequences of a cell phone?
Bioengineering (#13) The application of engineering to living things. I can differentiate between adaptive and assistive bioengineered products. Bioengineering (#13) The application of engineering to living things.
Assistive bioengineering (#6) I can differentiate between adaptive and assistive bioengineered products. Assistive bioengineering (#6) A product or process that helps living organisms but does not change them permanently. Examples Hearing aid Eyeglasses/contacts Prosthetic limbs Sterilized bandages
Adaptive bioengineering (#3) I can differentiate between adaptive and assistive bioengineered products. Adaptive bioengineering (#3) A product or process that changes living organisms. Examples Cochlear implant LASIK Genetically modified plants Ethanol (made from corn)
