1. Assistive and Adaptive Bioengineering

2. TNReady Practice Question

3. Answer
The correct answer is A.

4. Science Standard
SPI 0807.T/E.4 Differentiate between adaptive and assistive engineered products (e.g., food, biofuels, medicines, integrated pest management).

5. What is Engineering?
Engineering is the process of creating technology.
Name some examples of technology that engineers, scientists, and inventors have created.

6. Check for Understanding
What is engineering?

7. Answer
Engineering is the process of creating technology

8. What is Bioengineering?
Bioengineering is the application of engineering (technology) to living things, such as humans and plants.
Bioengineers look at problems that occur in living things and invent technology that will help with these problems.

9. Check for Understanding
What is bioengineering?

10. Answer
Bioengineering is the application of engineering (technology) to living things, such as humans and plants.

11. Assistive Bioengineering
Technology that is developed to help organisms, but DOES NOT change them.
ASSIST = HELP
Examples:
Eyeglasses
Wheelchairs
Antibiotics

12. Check for Understanding
What is Assistive Technology?

13. Answer
Technology that is developed to help organisms, but DOES NOT change them.

14. Adaptive Bioengineering
Technology developed to help living organisms and DOES change them.
ADAPT = CHANGE
Examples:
Lasik Eye Surgery
Knee replacement
New strains of crop
in agriculture

15. Check for Understanding
What is Adaptive Technology?

16. Answer
Technology that is developed to help organisms, and it DOES change them.

17. How to Differentiate Does it help? Then it is a technology.
But which one?
Does it help without permanently changing the organism?
Does it help and change the organism?
Assistive
Technology
Adaptive
Technology

18. Check for Understanding
How can you tell the difference between assistive and adaptive technologies?

19. Answer
To tell the difference, determine if the organism is changed or not

20. Bioengineering Remember that they are both assistive biotechnologies…
The difference is that adaptive technologies change the organism…
Artificial Limbs
Contact Lenses
Cochlear implants
Crutches
Adaptive Technology
Assistive Technology
Mechanical Organs
Gene Therapy
Audio books
Hearing Aids

21. Modeling #1: Hearing Aid
Ask yourself: Does it help with or without changing?
Without changing- so it’s Assistive.

22. Modeling #2: Cochlear Implant
Ask yourself: Does it help with or without changing?
It changes-
so it’s Adaptive.
