1. Engineering
Adaptive/Assistive

2. Technology
Technology refers to the products and processes that are designed to meet our needs.

3. Engineering Design Process
Identify and Research a need.
Develop possible solutions
Make a prototype (a test model)
Test and evaluate the prototype (Cost-Benefit analysis)
Modify and retest.

4. Sometimes Technology has unintended Consequences
Medication

Internet
List some unintended consequences from these technologies.

5. Applying the engineering design process to living things.
Bioengineering
Applying the engineering design process to living things.
Can you think of a problem a living thing might have that needs to be solved. Remember people, plants and animals are all living things. Write down 3 problems

8. Which is Adaptive, which is Assistive Technology?
ARTIFICIAL HEART
Heart Pump (HELPER PUMP)
Artificial Heart
ASSISTIVE
ADAPTIVE

9. Adaptive Technology: technology that helps organisms by changing them.
Bioengineered Corn
Adaptive Technology: technology that helps organisms by changing them.
Scientists have inserted into corn a gene from the bacterium Bacillus thurigiensis, usually referred to as BT. The gene makes a protein lethal to certain caterpillars that destroy corn plants.

10. Bioengineered Corn
ADAPTIVE Technology
This form of insect control has two advantages: It reduces the need for chemical pesticides, and the BT protein, which is present in the plant in very low concentrations, has no effect on humans.
