Technological Design Process Concepts

The video tutorial covers the four stages of technological design: problem identification, solution design, implementation and testing, and evaluation of risks and benefits. It explains the role of engineers in creating technology and provides a mnemonic device to remember the design steps. The tutorial also aligns with eighth-grade standards, focusing on evaluating engineering processes, testing prototypes, and understanding the benefits and consequences of new technology.

What is the primary goal of technological design?

• To increase production costs

• To solve problems and improve lives

• To complicate existing technologies

• To create new scientific theories

Which of the following is the first step in the technological design process?

• Evaluate risks and benefits

• Implement a prototype

• Design a solution

• Identify the problem

What is essential when designing a solution in the technological design process?

• Skipping the testing phase

• Ignoring potential risks

• Focusing only on aesthetics

• Using drawings or models

During which stage is a prototype typically developed?

• Implementation and testing

• Problem identification

• Evaluation of risks and benefits

• Solution design

What is the purpose of performance testing in the implementation stage?

• To finalize the design without testing

• To increase production costs

• To ignore user feedback

• To evaluate products in real-world conditions

What should be considered when evaluating a new technology?

• Only the benefits

• Only the risks

• Neither risks nor benefits

• Both risks and benefits

What determines if a new technology is successful?

• If it is not used by anyone

• If it meets societal needs and benefits outweigh risks

• If it has more risks than benefits

• If it is more expensive than existing solutions

What is the mnemonic device mentioned to remember the four steps of the design process?

• IDEA

• TEST

• ID i

• PLAN

Which of the following is NOT covered in the lesson's eighth-grade standards?

• Evaluating a protocol for engineering process success

• Distinguishing between intended benefits and unintended consequences

• Identifying tools for testing prototype design features

• Learning advanced calculus

What is the final step in the technological design process?

• Identify the problem

• Design a solution

• Implement a prototype

• Evaluate risks and benefits
