  1. New Technologies and Bioengineering Technology-- The use of science to solve problems and make our lives easier!! Can you name some examples of technology? Computers Engines Robots Ball point pen Thermos What is the name of the person who designs, constructs or operates new forms of technology? Engineer

  2. Technological Design --process of inventing and building products and systems 4 Step Design Process Implementation Evaluation Problem Identification Solution Design

  3. 4 Step Design Process 1. Identify a Problem 2. Solution Design **Meets a human need **Use scientific principles **Be suitable for use by more than one person. A. Possible Solutions are compared. B. Explain technology, using drawing/models. C. Identify materials and estimate cost and development time. D. List potential risks and benefits.

  4. Lets look at a Possible Design Solution in Action!

  5. 3. Implementation Putting the plan into action-- Implementation Prototype – Working model of a new technology. Develop a

  6. Performance Testing – Prototype evaluated in real-world conditions.

  7. 4. Evaluation-- • Does the Design Work? • How can the success of the design be measured? • Does the design solve the problem and meet people’s needs? • Have risks been minimized? • How can the design be improved? • What was learned that could help produce a better design?

  8. New technology always has risks and benefits. Benefits—way in which technology meets people’s needs. Risks—harm or danger that the technology can cause people. Which is greater? To decide we then need to do a ………… Risk-Benefit Analysis – Weighing potential harm a new technology may cause against its benefits.

  9. 1. Which of the following is a similarity between the process of scientific investigation and the process of technological design? A. Both start with a hypothesis. B. Both create a product to make life easier. C. Both make the people who conduct them famous. D. Both test ideas. Answer: D

  10. 2. If an engineer finds a flaw or problem in a design, what step should the engineer take next? • Modify the design to solve the problem. • Scrap the project and start again. C. Get more money to support continued research. D. Create another prototype. Answer: A

  11. 3. Which of the following would be the MOST LIKELY benefit of producing a new type of plant that uses energy from the sun to power all the lights on the plane? • A faster plane. B. A safer plane. C. A plane that produces less pollution. • A plane that is more comfortable for passengers. Answer: C
