What is it and how does it affective your life?

2. Technology is the products and processes designed to serve our needs

3. The words science and technology can and often are used interchangeably. But the goal of science is the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake while the goal of technology is to create products that solve problems and improve human life. Simply put, technology is the practical application of science.

4. Technology is a part of science but how is it different?
Science is knowing
The search for and theorizing about cause
Making virtually value-free statements
Analysis, generalization and creation of theories
Corresponding Scientific Processes
Technology
Technology is doing
The search for and theorizing about new processes.
Activities always value-laden
Analysis and synthesis of design
Key Technological Processes

5. Science
Technology
Focuses on understanding natural phenomena
Discovery (controlled by experimentation)
Drawing correct conclusions based on good theories and accurate data
Experimental and logical skills needed
focuses on understanding the made environment
Design, invention, production
Taking good decisions based on incomplete data and approximate models
Design, construction, testing, planning, quality assurance, problem solving, decision making, interpersonal and communication skills

6. How has technology changed over the years?

9. What is engineering and how does it relate to technology?
Engineering is the process of creating technology.
Professional engineers, scientists, inventors, business owners, artists and even students have engineered new technologies.
How you ask????
Anyone can follow the engineering design process to solve a problem or address a need.

10. What is the engineering design process?

11. Let’s look at each step of the Engineering Design process.
Step 1: ASK
Identify the problem or need.
Research the need or problem.
Examine the current state of the issue.
An example: Air pollution is a big problem. How can we cut down on this? Design an automobile that uses a non polluting energy source.

12. Step 2: Imagine
Develop possible solutions.
Brainstorm possible solutions. ( A group of people share ideas quickly to promote additional ideas).
Sometimes one product may spark an idea for another product.
Use math and science.
Select the best possible solution.
Determine which solution best meets the original needs.

13. Step 3 Design
Create the blue prints for your design.
Find the materials and items you’ll need

14. Step 4 Create
Make a prototype.
The prototype may be a physical model or a computer model.
This allows engineers to see if their design works,

15. Test and evaluate the solution.
Step 5 Test
Test and evaluate the solution.
Do the prototype do the job it was designed to do? Engineers make sure that the cost of designing and producing the new product is worth its benefit. This is called cost benefit analysis.
Is it safe, reliable and durable?

16. Step 6 Improve
Modify and retest the solution if necessary.
If it did not work well engineers would modify their prototype or try a new solution.

17. Step 7: Communicate
Communicate your results to other engineers and customers of the product.

18. The Iron Man Movies and the Engineering Design Process
Billionaire genius and weapons designerTony Stark is captured by terrorists, and they want him to build a super-weapon. Instead he builds an armored exoskeleton to fight them. 
Notes
SPI 0807.T.E.1 (Prototype Testing)
SPI 0807.T/E.2 (Eng. Des. Process)
Step 1: Identify a need
Why did Tony Stark build the "Iron Man" suit?
Step 2: Develop Possible Solutions
What are some other options he could have built instead?
Step 2a: Pick the best design
Do you think the "Iron Man" suit was the best design option?
Step 3: Make a prototype
Where and how did Tony build his prototype(s)
Step 4: Test the prototype
Where and how did Tony test his prototype(s)
Step 5: Modify and re-test the prototype
How did Tony modify his prototype to make it work better? 18

19. Prototypes are often called mark versions
Notes
SPI 0807.T.E.1 (Prototype Testing)
SPI 0807.T/E.2 (Eng. Des. Process)
1st Prototype
Mark 1 Version
2nd Prototype
Mark 2 Version
3rd Prototype
Mark 3 Version
Prototypes are often called mark versions 19

20. Address these questions
Notes
SPI 0807.T.E.1 (Prototype Testing)
SPI 0807.T/E.2 (Eng. Des. Process)
Address these questions
about this prototype
Needs being addressed?
What are some prototype design considerations?
What is the mark version?
How would you test and
re-test this prototype?
What might be some unintended consequences?
Adaptive or assistive Bioengineering? (Explain) 20
