Technology Education

Objectives

Understanding what
technology is and how it works
in our lives.

Identify the 5 areas of


technology and know the
definitions

Understand the Engineering


Design Loop and the steps
Technology Word Activity
What is Technology?

Technology = Knowledge and the use of resources to meet human needs


and solve problems.

If someone has a problem or a need, we need to come up with a


Solution.

Ex: Covid19

Car Safety
What is Science?

Science = Study of natural things and why they happen the way they
do.

Learning more about things that already exist.

Ex: Space

Earth

Covid19
5 Areas of Technology

Communication: Changing information into messages to be


transmitted.

Construction: Using goods and materials to build something on site.

Manufacturing: Using materials and processes to produce products


that can be used elsewhere.

Energy, Power & Transportation: Converting energy into mechanical,


fluid and electrical power.

Biotechnology: Any technology dealing with living things.


Areas of Technology Examples

Communication: Phones, computers, pictures


Construction: Houses, stores, schools
Manufacturing: Food, toys, chairs
Energy, Power & Transportation: Cars, trucks, power plants
Biotechnology: X-ray, MRI, fertilizers
Engineering Design Loop
Engineering Design Loop

The Engineering
Design Loop is used by Company’s
businesses to solve use this model

solution to a problem.
Engineering Design Loop

Step 1: Identify the Problem: you have to know and figure out what the
problem is first.

Step 2: Research: Always step two. We must learn about the problem
before we can try to fix or solve it. Very important step.

Step 3: Develop Possible Solutions: Time to think about possible ways to


fix or solve the problem. Remember, these are just some possibilities.

Step 4: Select the Best Possible Solution: Now we can pick the solution
to the problem that we think will work best.
Step 5: Construct a Prototype: It’s now time to create a prototype. This
will allow you to see what the solution will look like.

Step 6: Test and Evaluate: Now that the prototype has been completed,
it is time to test and evaluate your work.

Step 7: Communicate the solution: This step means you are finished.
The product is complete, and the problem has been solved.

Step 8: Redesign: Can you improve it? Can you make changes? This step
allows you to go back through the loop and improve your product.
