TRANSCRIPT
• Using Science to Solve a practical problem• Cars = Transportation• Medicine = healthcare• Pencils = writing
• Come up with 2-3 technological advancements and what purpose they serve.
• Examples listed above.
Technology
• Pros and Cons of Technology
• Universal Systems Model
• Redesigning products and more!
Why is Technology Important?
Universal Systems Model
INPUT – resources needed
(materials, time, labor)
PROCESS – Activities that complete the
production part of the product or service
OUTPUT – finished product
FEEDBACK – any information coming from system or an
outside source (sales, comments, etc…)
Universal Systems Model
• ASK• IMAGINE• PLAN• CREATE• EXPERIMENT• IMPROVE
• With a communication aspect throughout each step
Engineering Design Process
• Do you interact with technology?
• Do you use a cell phone?

• Johnny 5 can follow directions, can you?
Johnny 5 is alive!
• How has technology changed over the years?• Timeline of inventions – how have they changed?

• Why does technology change?• Difference in cell phones, computers, etc…
The Future of Technology
• Computer Aided Design• Examples: Solidworks, AutoCAD, etc..
• Gives you the ability to take a 2D model and make it 3D.
• You can use a variety of materials – we have a plastic material
• Examples:• Universities are using these to make organs, a bird was
given a prosthetic leg, a boy was made a hand
•3D Printing – CAD Software
•System • Made up of various components
(subsystems)
• Example: • Think of the system of an electronic door
(as you enter or exit a grocery store)
• Think of the system used for a working elevator
What are systems and subsystems?
•Team Work•Positive outlook•Professionalism•Work Ethic•Netiquette
•Why is team work important?
•Are you a leader? What is leadership?
