The systematic practice of solving real-world problems with designed solutions

• Engineering

• Science

• Technology

the application of science and engineering for practical purposes; the use of tools, machines, materials, and processes to meet human needs

Scientists use technology created by engineers

• True

• False

A system is

• Parts of something that work individually.

• A set of interacting parts that work together.

• Boundaries that separate parts.

The parts of a system are:

• Boundary, process, outputs

• Processes, parts, boundaries

• Inputs, outputs, boundaries, processes

Engineers use models

• to study the natural world.

• to explore how a designed system works.

• create hypothesis.

Represents the physical structure of an object or system.

• Computer models

• Physical models

• Mathematical models

Made up of numbers and equations. These models can often be shown as graphs and may be used to predict future trends.

conceptual or mental model

• A way of thinking about how parts of a system are related in order to simplify complex relationships

• Represents the physical structure of an object or system
