~MEETING TECHNOLOGY~ Unit 1 Lesson 2 STEMCenter for Teaching & Learning™ Engineering byDesign™ 12/01/2009 ~MEETING TECHNOLOGY~ Unit 1 Lesson 2 No matter who we are or where we are, technology transforms the way we exist. When people develop technology, they must think about the impacts it might have on society. Review the BIG IDEA of the Unit with students. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ Exploring Technology - © International Technology Education Assoc
System Design What Every technology Needs Lesson 2 STEMCenter for Teaching & Learning™ Engineering byDesign™ 12/01/2009 System Design What Every technology Needs Lesson 2 BIG IDEA . . . Technology is most useful when each facet of its creative design is carefully considered such as its inputs, process, output and feedback. Check student responses. Think about it . . . Now write the BIG IDEA of this lesson in your own words. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ Exploring Technology © International Technology Education Assoc
STEMCenter for Teaching & Learning™ Engineering byDesign™ 12/01/2009 Words You Need to Know System A set of related parts - Together, they form a whole, designed to accomplish some purpose Input Something put into a system, such as resources, in order to achieve a result. Process All the activities that need to take place for a system to give the expected result. Copy and paste pictures off the internet or scan and paste from print materials. Include up to date examples as well as historic examples. Key words to use: greatest innovations of all times - top 100 innovations After showing examples, have students write and share their own example. If using one, post words on a Word Wall. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ Exploring Technology © International Technology Education Assoc Slide #3
Words You Need to Know Output STEMCenter for Teaching & Learning™ Engineering byDesign™ 12/01/2009 Words You Need to Know Output The results of the operation of any system. Feedback: Using all or a portion of the information from the output of a system to regulate or control the inputs or processes or in order to modify the output.

Different But Still a Family - Technology Systems STEMCenter for Teaching & Learning™ Engineering byDesign™ 12/01/2009 Technology Systems Types of Technology Developing and using devices and systems to plant, grow, and harvest crops. Developing and using devices and systems to convert, transmit, or process energy. Using systems and processes to put structures on the sites where they will be used. Developing and using devices and systems and processes to convert materials into products in a factory. Developing and using devices and systems to move people and cargo from an origin point to a destination. Developing and using devices and systems to promote health and cure illnesses. Developing and using devices and systems to gather, process, share information, and share ideas. Information and Communication Technologies Agricultural and Related Biotechnologies Energy and Power Technologies Medical Technologies Construction Technologies Transportation Technologies To help introduce Technology Systems, explain that technology is organized into systems. These systems help use make sense of the Designed World. Have students help you brainstorm words that would match with the descriptions. Explain the systems rarely work by themselves they are dependent on other each other. Have students name a product and then tell what other technology it depends on. Example - a cell phone depends on manufacturing Further enhancement of this slide would be to put current pictures of the technology in the empty box.

Introducing Technology STEMCenter for Teaching & Learning™ Engineering byDesign™ 12/01/2009 Introducing Technology TECHNOLOGY solves problems that could not have solved without it. not just electronics developed out of a want or need creative constantly changing often done in teams often an improvement on pre-existing designs impact can be intended or unintended ENGINEERS take project ideas developed by technology and design and produce solutions to be used Discuss a product that WOULD NOT exist without the use of a new technology and the impact it may have had. Have examples ready to share. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ Exploring Technology © International Technology Education Assoc Slide #8
Introducing Technology STEMCenter for Teaching & Learning™ Engineering byDesign™ 12/01/2009 Introducing Technology SCIENCE contributes to the development of technology. MATHEMATICS makes sure technology is developed with precision and accuracy. HISTORY lets us know what technologies have or have not worked as well as the impacts it has had Think of a technology that could not have been developed without science mathematics, and history. How have science, mathematics, and history contributed to it’s development or improvement. Have examples ready to share. Use examples that relate to what they are currently studying in science, math, or history. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEMCenter for Teaching and Learning™ Exploring Technology © International Technology Education Assoc Slide #9
