Technology System A technology system is a group of resources (subsystems) working together to solve problems and extend human capabilities. • In your notes, list the: • problem a jet ski solves. • The subsystems that work together in a jet ski.
Core Technologies • The core technologies are the “building blocks” of all technology systems.
Core Technologies • Mechanical • Structural • Electrical • Electronic • Fluid • Optical • Thermal • Biotechnology • Materials
Mechanical Technology • Technology of putting together mechanical parts to produce, control and transmit motion. Examples
Structural Technology • Technology of putting mechanical parts and materials together to create supports, containers, shelters, connectors and functional shapes. Examples
Electrical Technology • Technology of producing, storing, controlling, transmitting and getting work from electrical energy. Examples
Electronic Technology • Technology of using small amounts of electricity for controlling; detecting; and information collecting, storing, retrieving, processing and communicating. Examples
Fluid Technology • Technology of using fluid, either gas (pneumatics) or liquid (hydraulic) to apply force or to transport. Examples
Optical Technology • Technology of producing light; using light for information collection, storage, retrieval, process and communication; and using light to do work. Examples
Thermal Technology • Technology of producing, storing, controlling, transmitting and getting work from heat energy. Examples
Biotechnology • Technology of using, adapting, and altering organisms and biological processes for a desired outcome. Examples
Materials Technology • Technology of producing, altering, and combining materials. Examples
With a Partner • Turn to your table partner and share which core technology you find most interesting and why. • With the help of your partner, indicate in your notes one job that might be found under each core technology.
Our Focus • For the Sea Perch Project we will be focusing on three of the nine core technologies and how they integrate to create the Sea Perch. • Structural • Mechanical • Electrical
