Technology and the development of an entirely new product.

The improvement of an invention over time.

Earth, space and all living things not created by humans studied by scientist

Buildings, bridges, communication systems, manufactured goods and all things that are a product of human creativity

The process of creating and planning a product or system under a set of constraints (limitations) related to the amount of time they have to complete a design, how much the design can cost and the limits of the amount of material. Engineers use math and science knowledge to create design solutions to problems.

The process of scientist trying to understand things that occur in nature. The nature world is explained based on the evidence scientist find in their investigations.

The examination process of the nature world by observing and recording events around scientist which includes careful examinations to test the effect on one thing on another. Technology helps scientist.

The goal of technology is

Technology uses knowledge to turn ___ into good and services that people need and want.

Technology extends people's natural abilities.

Technology allows us to develop a brand new device or product called an invention. When you improve an existing design, it is called inventing.

Understanding how processes work and how products are made

Technology is created to meet human needed and laws of nature superimpose what technology can do.

Can make informed decisions on how to use technology and can control technology.

A group of interrelated parts that work together for a desirable result.

Anything to embed into a system such as keyboard, scanner, microphone and even other computers.

Act of taking input and data and making it something usable and steps by which resources are changed into desirable products.

Processed info in a usable format- audio, printing .

Saving data for period of time –hard drive, USB, CD.

Output information that can be used to adjust a system and can come from humans of mechanical devices.

People make products and use technology to solve problems or meet a need.

Technology is based on the key ideas of

___ is a set of rigorous international quality standards that are applicable to numerous types of organizations. Designed to help companies’ improve the quality of their products, processes and services in a systematic and continuous manner.

Companies can receive certification by having a ___ and taking corrective action when required as well as offer regular reviews of processes and quality systems to ensure efficiency.

A representation of a system, process, product, structure or environment and can be graphic (picture), physical (scale model), virtual (simulation) or mathematical (chart).

Help to represent, analyze predict, and explain the performance of a device or system.

Any type of supply, service, or support including the information used in the design and test and money or capital needed to pay to make the new products. 7 types

7 types of resources:

The features that define the performance of a system.

Giving up of one option in order to gain a better or more realistic option-compromises. They occur when one characteristic is lost in exchange for another characteristic with a different set of strengths and weaknesses

Process of choosing alternatives to make the solution work as well as it can. It is a process through which designers and engineers attempt to make a product or system as efficient and as functional as possible. It improves the overall system by bettering the performance of a specific characteristic.

Series of steps by which resources are changed into desired products. Systems may also use technological processes to organize, store, move data and goods.

A device used to adjust the operation of a system that should perform 3 things: 1. goods, services, information or energy should be correct. 2. technological system should not harm people or the environment. 3. resources should be used in the best possible way.
