Engineering (Science)

Risks of new technology

Electricity if it's mishandled, pesticides, pollution from airplanes.

What happens if your prototype passes all its tests?

It goes to production

Second step of design process

Plan and build a prototype

technology process

Series of steps used to achieve a goal or make a product

Why do you want to keep good records and drawings of your prototype

So you can replicate it.

Third step of the design process

Test the and improve the prototype.

solution

The answer to a problem

system

Tools, parts, and processes that work together to achieve a goal

Problems of new technology

Trash and Distraction- Old electronics are so big and are rarely recycled meaning they end up in landfills that can release harmful chemicals into the environment; Driving while texting, too many video games

product

What comes after sketches, plans and the prototype

testing

a prototype may undergo many rounds of this (steps 3 and 4)

process

a series of steps that result in a product

prototype

an original or test model on which a real product is based.

technology

any designed system, product or process that people use to solve problems

technology product

anything designed to meet a need or desire

tool

anything that helps people shape, build, or product things to meet their needs

input

anything that is put into a system to meet a goal

when does technology change

as the needs of people change

Goal of any new technology

better meet people's needs.

Final step of the design process

communicate to team members the details of the final prototype.

processes

describe how the goal is achieved

What do engineers use the design process to do?

develop new technology and solve problems

practical

easy to use

First step of design process

identify a need or problem. Ask the question "What if?"

What starts the design process ?

identifying a need or problem, then brainstorm and write ideas on how to plan and build a potential solution, with options select a solution to test

feedback

information that tells whether or not the output is successful

Does the first prototype usually pass all the tests

no - most times you have to rebuild and redesign the prototype.

designed world

part of your community that is designed and built by people; made up of all products of technology

What are important things you need for a prototype

plans, like early sketches with a rough idea, or detailed drawings

How to be responsible with new technology

set time limits on computer and game time, do not have your phone out while driving.

scientific & mathematical principles

something engineers need to be familiar with

output

the end product or service of a system

What happens if the prototype works

the real product is made

engineering

the use of scientific and mathematical principles to develop something practical

products

things that are made to meet a need

design

to conceive something and prepare the plans and drawings for it to be built

designed system

tools, parts and processes that work together; they help us travel and ship goods, communicate, grow our foods

Redesigned

what happens if a prototype fails to meet a design goal.

Goal

what the system aims to do
