Chapter 1
Section 4

2. Introduction
Science and technology are closely related in the things that studied but the two have different goals.
________is a way of changing the natural world to meet human needs or solve problems

3. Introduction
An engineer is someone who is trained to use both technological and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.
Engineers often follow a set of steps called the technology design process.

4. Technology Design Process
Identify a Need
Researching the Problem
Designing a Solution
Build a Prototype
Troubleshooting and Redesigning
Communicating the Solution

5. Technology Design Process
Identifying a Need
Discover that there is a problem
Researching the Problem
After define our problem, then we need to research the problem fully.
Discover what needs to be done to fix the problem

6. Technology Design Process
Designing a Solution
The_________ is one that meets the needs and has the fewest negative characteristics.
__________ is a process in which group members freely suggest any creative solutions that come to mind.

7. Technology Design Process
Designing a Solution (cont)
A constraint ______________________ ________________________________________________________________
A trade-off ____________
_______________________
The goal is to appeal
to the customers.

8. Technology Design Process
Building a Prototype
A prototype is a working model used to test a design.
Some prototypes are full sized and made of the materials proposed for the final product.
Many of today’s prototypes are virtual.

9. Technology Design Process
Troubleshooting and Redesigning
Locate and redesign our product to address any problems that developed with the prototype
The process of analyzing a design problem and finding a way to fix it is called_________________.

10. Technology Design Process
Communicating the Solution
Communicate to ___________.
Communicate____________.

11. Technology as a System
All Systems are made of parts that work together.
A technology system includes:
A goal
Inputs
Processes
Outputs
Feedback (only some)

12. Technology and Society
Review definition of technology
Throughout history, from the Stone Age to the Information Age today, technology has had a large impact on society.
