  5. Examples of items designed for our world.

  6. Product Life Cycle • Five stages of the life of a product • Design Phase • Manufacturing Phase • Marketing Phase • User Phase • Disposal Phase

  7. Research Time Research one of the following technology design failures: • The Space Shuttle Challenger Explosion • SUV Roll Over • Boston Big Dig Tunnel Collapse • Tacoma Narrow Bridge Collapse
