Team ABCDE1 Technology VS Science Brought to You Exclusively by: Richard Lum, Stephanie Logan, Jerry Clyde, Diana Seif, & Edgar Khachatryan NECESSITY = THE MOTHER OF INVENTION

Team ABCDE2 Technology Defined… Technology = Doing Science=Understanding

Team ABCDE3 ST Science vs. Technology Science understandingScience deals with the natural world, the understanding of it –Geology, biology, botany Technology doingTechnology deals with the human-made world, the doing of it –Manufacturing, constructing, communicating

Team ABCDE4 TTH Technology Throughout History The Stone Age The Bronze Age The Iron Age The Industrial Revolution The 20 th Century

Team ABCDE5 DTS Definition of Technological Systems Inputs Processes Outputs Feedback

Team ABCDE6 Inputs and Processes Inputs –People –Natural Resources –Capital –Finance –Knowledge –Energy Processes –Production –Management –These are united and work together to have desired outputs.

Team ABCDE7 OF Outputs and Feedback Outputs – the result of the system Outputs of Technological Systems –Outputs for the designed system –Other outputs such as scrap, waste, and pollution Feedback – adjustments made to the processes to improve the outputs

Team ABCDE8 Goals – Reason for the Systems The goals of technology –Meeting human needs –Profit – companies use the systems for which owners may be rewarded

Team ABCDE9 Types of Technological Systems Manufacturing Systems –Custom –Intermittent & Batch –Continuous –Flexible Communications Systems –People to People –People to Machine –Machine to People –Machine to Machine Construction Systems -Planning -Constructing -Servicing

Team ABCDE10 TS Transportation Systems Vehicular Systems Propulsion Systems Transmission of Power Guidance Systems Control Systems –Braking Systems –Power to move vehicles –Directional Controls –Miscellaneous controls Measurement Devices

Team ABCDE11 The Design Process I The Problem –Beginning design when there is a need/solution –i.e. Pathway for a person on a wheelchair The Design Relief –Describes what needs to be designed –Must be specific!

Team ABCDE12 The Design Process II Investigation –Function –Appearance –Materials –Construction –Safety Developing Alternatives Choosing a Solution Lauren Rosen

Team ABCDE13 The Design Process III Models & Prototypes –Used by architects –Benefits – better communicated Testing & Evaluating –Does it work? –Does it meet the design brief? –Will modifications improve the solution? Manufacturing HYDE, IDA HENRIETTA An American physiologist who invented the micro- electrode in the 1930's

Team ABCDE14 What is YOUR most can’t- live-without technology ?

Team ABCDE15 WCAT What Counts As Technology? Objects - tools, machines, computers Knowledge - computer savvies Activities - procedures,people’s abilities Process - has a start and an end Sociotechnical Systems - manufacture and use of objects involving people and other objects in combination

Team ABCDE16 NT Nature of Technology Related to science

Team ABCDE17 NT Nature of Technology, contd. It involves design –Design the center of technology –Design process begins with perception of need, and continues with formulation of a specification, and ends with evaluation of solution It involves making –Motivating factor behind technology is to fulfill a need Rozsa Peter

Team ABCDE18 NT Nature of Technology, contd. II It is multi-dimensional –Technology is performing a multitude of functions –Examples: working with others, operating within budgets, persuading decision makers, communicating to clients and working to deadlines It is concerned w/values –Technology is informed by values –Value decisions are not only in relation to specific design criteria, but also to the rightness or wrongness of a particular solution in ethical terms

Team ABCDE19 NTC Nature of Technology Concluded It is socially Shaped/Shaping –Technological enterprises determined by social interest –Technology is shaped by society through consumer choice –Technology can shape society i.e. Technology of the motor car shaped environment and way of life
