10. Bioengineering

11. What is Bioengineering?  Bioengineering is the development of technology in the fields of biology and medicine.  The work of bioengineers help people stay healthy, grow food, and make other materials they need.  Bioengineers use the science of living things to create technology and the technology to change living things.

12. Bioengineering and medicine  Bioengineers have developed many tools to help doctors diagnose disease.  Examples: CAT scanners and MRI machines.  Other bioengineered products help treat diseases.  Examples: insulin for diabetics, antibiotics, and medicine

13. Adaptive Devices  Some bioengineers design devices to help people with disabilities.  An adaptive device is a device that is changed or adapted to use by a person with a disability (permanent changes).  Examples: voice activated computer, braille keys, doorbells that flash a light, automatic doors, corrective surgery, respirator, etc.

14. Adaptive Device Examples

15. Assistive Devices  An assistive device is any kind of technology that helps a disabled person with their daily life (temporary changes, that can be removed).  Examples: hearing aids, artificial limbs, crutches, wheelchairs, glasses, contact lenses, etc.

20. Quick Check #4

21. Activity  Think about adaptive and assistive devices. Do any have unintended consequences that need to be improved?

22. Activity Directions  Design a device that would help someone with a disability. Illustrate your device, labeling its special features. At the bottom, identify whether your device would be considered adaptive or assistive. Explain the intended benefits of te device. How would it help someone with a disability? Does it have any unintended consequences?

23. Example

24. Explanation  Many people are unable to walk. While wheelchairs help them get around, they are continuously sitting down. I have an assistive device that allows individuals to move while sitting or standing. The benefit of my device is that it increases blood flow to the legs and allows the user to change positions. An unintended consequence it may cause it that the person may fall if not strapped in properly.

25. Did I?  Draw a device?  Label the parts and functions?  Explain if it was adaptive or assistive?  Explain its intended benefits and any unintended consequences?

27. Key Information  Objective: I can identify the steps in the engineering design process.  Essential Question: Why is it important to follow a routine?  SPI: 0607.T/E 2 Evaluate a protocol to determine if the engineering design process was successfully applied.

28. Introduction  What do engineers do?  In what ways are you similar to an engineer?  How do think we are going to use the engineering design process?  Do you think the Engineering Design Process is similar to the Scientific Method?

29. Prezi  During this Prezi presentation, make sure you are completing your guided notes.  Be ready to identify the steps of the Engineering Design Process.  https://prezi.com/ipjyloay1lz9/engineering -design-process/ https://prezi.com/ipjyloay1lz9/engineering -design-process/

30. Engineering Design Process  Yesterday we learned that technology was defined as the application of science to make useful products and tools.  How do scientists and engineers create these new products?  They use the engineering design process.  Number your notes 1-7. As we go through this presentation, write down each step of the design process.

31. Step 1: Identify the Problem  The first step in the engineering design process is IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM.  While automobiles were intended to speed up transportation, they also cause many problems.  What is one problem of the automobile?

32. Step 2: Research  After the problem has been identified, background RESEARCH must be conducted.  Research can provide current solutions to the problem and help explore other options.  When scientists realized how many injuries were being caused by car accidents, what do you think they researched?

33. Step 3: Brainstorm  Use the background research to BRAINSTORM possible solutions.  Take notes, sketch ideas, and select the best possible solution.

34. Quick Check:  Noah and Jackson realized that many people do not wear their seatbelt. They think they should design a product that will encourage passengers to wear their seatbelt. What step should they complete after they have identified the problem?

35. Step 4: Build a Prototype  Use available resources and materials to CONSTRUCT a working prototype.

36. Step 5: Test and Evaluate  TEST the design to see if it meets the needs of the problem.  Collect data using the prototype.  EVALUATE the data and the design to determine if it solved the problem.  When evaluating, identify the benefits and risks, of the design.  If the prototype does not solve the problem, what should scientists do?

38. Step 6: Modify and Retest  If the prototype does not solve the problem, MODIFY it.  Ask: What worked with the original prototype and what could work better?  Make the necessary changes, RETEST, and re-evaluate new data.

39. STEP 7: Share Results  SHARE the solution with others.  Scientists, government agencies, and citizens must decide if the benefits of the solution outweigh the risks.  If the benefits outweigh the risks, they could make it available to consumers.  What would happen if the risks outweigh the benefits?

40. Quick Check: Which series states the correct order of steps that would ensure that the engineering design process were successfully followed? A perform testing, build a model, retest, evaluate results, modify model B modify model, perform testing, retest, evaluate results, build a model C build a model, perform testing, evaluate results, modify model, retest D retest, build a model, modify model, perform testing, evaluate results

41. Quick Check: Which of these steps is most important to complete before you build a model? A Test. B Retest. C Evaluate results. D Decide what the model is going to accomplish.

42. Describing Paper  What are some adjectives that describes this piece of paper?  Is it strong?  Let’s see if we can change those adjectives.  Now that you have described this paper, you are going to build a paper structure that can hold your Science book.

43. Building with paper  Objective: You will make a simple, but strong structure out of paper. Your structure must be able hold up your Science book.  Time: 10 minutes  Materials: tape, table, floor, Science book, and 8 pieces of paper
