Engineering and Technology

Engineering and Technology

1. Criteria

   • Desirable Features of a solution

2. Constraints

   • A real world limit on solution you are designing

3. tradeoffs

   • Giving up one feature to gain another
     • EX: engineers must give up one feature to gain another when designing cars

4. The design process

   • Find a problem
   • do research
     • brainstorm
   • choose best solution
   • Build prototype
   • test prototype
   • Evaluate
   • communicate

5. deforestation

   • the process of cutting down trees

6. engineers

   • build tools for scientists to discover more about earth

7. scientists

   • discover more so engineers can make new tools

8. simple technology

   • something that meets a want or a need
   • simple technology can't be nature

9. Hubble Space Telescope

   • A telescope built to see space clearer
