1. Technological Design Process Unit 1 Lesson 4

2. Technological Design Process
Students will be able to:
Define the technological design.
List the steps of the technological design process.
Describe how the technological design is similar to scientific investigations.
Key Vocabulary:
Technology, engineering, technological design process, engineer, designer, scientific investigations, science, prototype, retest.

3. Technological Design Process
If you look on the football equipments, you will notice that this equipments have been changed and improved intensely over the years.
The introduction of new materials and technology improve the protection and allow players to perform at a higher level.

4. Technological Design Process
To understand the recent advancements and designs in technology that have been used in professional football gear, we have to realize what technological design is.
The technological design usually contains the combination of multiple studies in many fields to identify the needs and search for applied and profitable ways to use the new materials to meet today's challenges.

5. Technological Design Process
The process in which football gear was firstly created and perfected is called technological design.
Most technological designs can be considered as inventions devices or systems that are created and developed by human being and did not occur before or they are improvements to the already existing devices or systems.

6. Technological Design Process
These designs and inventions do not suddenly appear from nowhere but they are the consequence of bringing together technologies to meet human needs or to overcome the challenges.

7. Technological Design Process
The technological design process steps
The technological design process includes much more than just a creative good idea.
The possible restrictions, or limitations in the design must be taken into considerations.
These might include factors such as the price or safety of the new technology or product.

8. Technological Design Process
The technological design process steps
Testing a model of the design are also important before using this product or system.
These steps are necessary to ensuring that the design truly works to solve the problem and meet our needs.
This process steps also gives the designer or engineer a chance to find the difficulties or challenges and adjust the design if needed.

9. Technological Design Process
The technological design process steps
There is no perfect solution, but testing and improving the design guarantees that this technology will offer an effective solution to the problem which proposed to solve.

10. Technological Design Process
The technological design steps
Step 1
Identify the problem
In this step the engineers mention and highlight the problem that we need to solve.
For example, Football helmet in 1920 is not safe enough

11. Technological Design Process
The technological design steps
Step 2
Research and gathering information
Before you can go further in the design process, you need to collect all the information available that relates to the problem.

12. Technological Design Process
The technological design steps
Step 3
Brainstorm possible solutions
The designers will use their cooperative team’s brain ideas to imagine possible solutions to their problem and visulaize them out.

13. Technological Design Process
The technological design steps
Step 4
Generate possible ideas
Designers take the best ideas from the previous brainstorming session, develop them more carefully and figure out how each idea will work.

14. Technological Design Process
The technological design steps
Step 5
Explore possibilities
Created ideas are shared and discussed with the team members and explores the positives and negatives of each idea and all the solutions possibilities.

15. Technological Design Process
The technological design steps
Step 6
Select the best approach
At this step of the technological design process, designers or engineers pick the best design approach that will solve the problem.

16. Technological Design Process
The technological design steps
Step 7
Build a test model or prototype
The engineers use their best design to create a test model or prototype. The model is usually built by using materials that helping work in a real life.

17. Technological Design Process
The technological design steps
Step 8
Refine and retest the model as needed
After testing the prototype, engineers discuss the ways to refine and improve their test model which leads to the beginning of the process and repeats the steps until they come up with a design that solves the problem.

18. Technological Design Process
Technological design vs. Scientific investigations
Both processes rely on evidence and reason, and follow a logical sequence of steps to solve problems or answer questions.
Science can be defined as a process of analysis that searches for relationships that clarify and predict the nonliving, living and designed world.
Technology is the application of scientific discoveries to meet the human needs through the development of products and processes.

20. Technological Design Process
Technological design vs. Scientific investigations
Scientific investigations
Technological design
Identify a problem and ask the questions
Identify the need or problem
Researching and gathering related information
Designs an experiment to determine the relationship between variables
Design a system or product to improve and overcome the problem
Conducts the experiment repeat trials
conducts the designs or the prototype tests
Analyses the trials results
Analyses the tests results
Evaluate the results and verify the hypothesis
Evaluate the process or the product and its efficiency in solving the problem

21. Technological Design Process
Summary
The process in which any equipment, process or system was firstly created and perfected is called technological design.
The technological design process includes much more than just a creative good idea.
There are 8 steps for the technological design process that guarantees that this technology will offer an effective solution to the problem .
Technological design is very similar to scientific investigation. Both processes rely on evidence and reason, and follow a logical sequence of steps to solve problems or answer questions.
