Engineer A person who designs products, structures, or systems to improve peoples lives Mathematics is the language of science, engineering, and technology. Engineers use math to describe objects in great detail, and mathematical models can test designs without actually building them. Engineers use scientific principles to guide their design. 6 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.
7
Engineers work in teams, and planning and design is a large part of their work. Engineering is a form of problem solving. Engineers work in teams because different people have different skills and can look at problems in different ways. An engineer must look at problem criteria and solution constraints. Engineering involves design and construction. Engineering is iterative. 7 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

The History of Engineering In 1965, Gordon Moore made an important observation about computer chips: every 18-24 months the capacity of a memory chip doubles. This observation, known as Moore’s Law, shows that computing power increases exponentially over time. Is it possible that technology in general evolves in a similar fashion?

22
The Stone Age 15,000 to ~3000 BC It covers the period where humans went from a nomadic life to an agricultural life. Domestication of animals allowed the substitution of animal power for human power. Other developments include the grinding stone, and harvesting and production of crops. We can consider the first use of fire as an important technology. 22 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012.

23
Early humans were hunters and gatherers, with their major concern being day-to-day survival. The tools they used to hunt, fish, and dig involved stone and bone. As new methods were created, families became tribes, and tribes became communities requiring land and shelter. Some of the earliest technologies involved the domestication of animals and plants. Crops required formal methods of planting, which led to the plow. 23 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.
24
The earliest known use of the wheel was in Mesopotamia in about 3500 BC. The first wheel with spokes first appeared on Egyptian chariots around 2000 BC. Although some form of writing has been around since the earliest day of antiquity, the Sumerians of Mesopotamia are also credited with its formal development. 24 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.
25
The Bronze Age It started about 3000 BC. Major technological developments include smelting and metalwork. Smelting involves the extraction of different metal ores to create a combination of metals called an alloy. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, and this new metal was more durable and easier to work to make a variety of tools. 25 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

27
The Fertile Crescent became the birthplace of civilization because plentiful food led to an increase in population. Domestication of plants and animals increased. The concept of division of labor was invented. We start to see the negative effects of technology through smoke filled air and the destruction of forests. Religion, ceremony, and governments became better organized and more widespread. 27 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.
28
The Iron Age About 500 BC until 500 AD Iron smelting (the extraction of iron from iron ore) involves the removal of impurities (slag). Requires higher temperature smelting. Led to the development of steel as an alloy of iron and carbon. 28 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

Iron was stronger and less expensive than bronze. Steel is better able to hold a sharpened edge. Forming and shaping created a wide variety of tools and implements –involves casting and grinding. Water became an important energy source –grain milling. Solid waste disposal became a problem. 31 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.
32
The Middle Ages 500 AD to 1500 AD A period of turmoil following the collapse of the Roman Empire. Populations became concentrated within cities - plague and famine were common. Increasingly fouled air and water - untreated human and animal waste. 32 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.
33
Sailing ships spurred increases in travel and trade. Horses and oxen use increased for transportation and labor. Wood remained a primary energy source. Water use increased as a power source. Mills and foundries flourished. Gunpowder is developed. 33 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.
34
The Renaissance 1500 AD to about 1750 AD A time of rebirth of the arts and humanities. Many important innovations – the printing press, clocks, gunpowder, eyeglasses, and flush toilets. Innovative manufacturing and processing techniques evolved. Leonardo Da Vinci 34 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.
35
Sir Isaac Newton’s theories began to dominate the scientific view of the physical universe. –Universal gravitation –Three laws of motion –Differential and integral calculus* Coal replaced wood. –Mining and deforestation increased. Colonization became a widespread way of developing resources. –Both positive and negative impacts (slavery). 35 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.
36
The Industrial Revolution From 1750 to about 1900 Industries replaced family units of production. The steam engine is arguably the most important engineering achievement. –Continuous manufacturing became common. –Transportation and communication systems improved. –Education became more widespread. 36 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012.

Twentieth Century The rate of innovation accelerated. The Industrial Revolution began in about 1750, but there were more agricultural workers than industrial workers until 1907. Important developments include: Electrification, Automobile, Airplane, Water Supply and Distribution, Electronics, Radio and Television, Mechanized Agriculture, Computers, Telephone, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, Highways, Spacecraft, Internet 41 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.
42
Requirements for a shift from agriculture to industry: A large supply of workers Adequate food and shelter for those workers An abundant energy source An efficient transportation system Large amounts of capital to invest The countries that had the best combination of these resources became dominant. 42 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012.

44
Technology is continuing to change, and the rate of change is increasing. Technological innovations affect, and are affected by, a society's cultural traditions. How did military applications influence technology development? Do humans have the ability to continue to adapt to the rate of technology change? What non-technologies have had the greatest influence on history? 44 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.
45
Most American state licensure laws require a bachelor of science degree for licensure. The U.S. model has generally been only to require those practicing independently (i.e., consulting engineers) to be licensed. Engineers working in industry, education, and sometimes government need not be licensed. 45 Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.
