Technological systems
Students will:
Objective:
Objective:
- Understand operational parameters and their role in the design, development, and maintenance of technological systems.
SUMMARY:
All successfully functioning organisms have systems in place for producing an output. Understand how a system works, how it keeps on going, how it is maintained, and what is involved in improving it.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!
+ Define the term ‘operational parameters’;
+ Look into what is involved in designing new technological systems;
+ Consider what is involved in sustaining existing technological systems -
+ Look into what is involved in designing new technological systems;
+ Consider what is involved in sustaining existing technological systems -
- What is an ‘input’ in a system?
- What is a ‘transformation’ in a system?
- What is an ‘output’ in a system?
+ Look into what is involved in developing existing technological systems to improve outcomes;
+ Use your understanding of one situation to think about any system (large or small).
