Structural Technology

• The technology of putting parts and materials together to create supports, containers, shelters, connectors, and functional shapes.

Optical Technology

The technology of producing light; controlling light; using light for information collection, processing, storage, retrieval, and communication, and using light to do work.

Mechanical Technology

• The technology of putting mechanical parts together to produce, control, and transmit motion.

Materials Technology

• The technology of producing, altering, and combining materials.

Fluid Technology

• The technology of using fluid, either gaseous (pneumatics) or liquid (hydraulics) to apply force or to transport.

Electronics Technology

• The technology of using small amounts of electricity for controlling; detecting; and information collecting, storing, retrieving, processing, and communicating.

Electrical Technology

• The technology of producing, storing, controlling, transmitting, and getting work from electrical energy.

Bio Technology

• The technology of using, adapting, and altering (changing) organisms and biological processes for a desired outcome.
