Unit 1 concepts of engineering

What is engineering?

• It is the application of scientific knowledfe to solve real world problems.

• It is electronic devices that help people with basic needs.

• Experiments to understand natural phenomena

• All of the above

Science:

• Has a goal of real world problem solving

• Applies knowledge to improve technologies through the process of building ansd designing.

• Consists of a continuous series of descoveries

• Based in observation, theory and experimentation. Has a goal of increasing the base of knowledge.

Engineering:

• Has a goal of real world problem solving

• Based in observation, theory and experimentation

• Consists of continuous series of discoveries.

• Reflects the body of knowledge and methods produced by engineering

What is the definition of technology?

• Provides a base of knowledge about the world we live in.

• Looks for the best solutions to society's problems and needs.

• It is taking scientific knowledge and applying it to practical purposes.

• Can help us make predictions about what may happen in a given circumstance.

What is the scientific method used for?

• It is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by observing ansd experimenting.

• To build new technologies.

• To solve real world problems with technology.

• To create things.

What is the engineering design process?

• It is the study of the world , including the environment and human behaviour.

• It is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by observing and experimenting.

• It is a series of steps engineers follow to arrive at a solution to any problem.

• it is something that engineers make to make life easier or more efficient.

repetition of a mathematical or computational procedure applied to the result of a previous application, typically as a means of obtaining successively closer approximations to the solution of a problem.

• Iteration

• Engineering design process

• Technology

• Scientific method.
