What is technology?

The application of knowledge, tools, and skills to solve problems and extend human capabilities.

What is a technology system?

A Technology System is a group of subsystems working together to solve problems and extend human capabilities.

U3d-L1

• There are several engineering resources (core technologies) that are the “building blocks” of all technology systems.

• We could store the core technologies on shelves • We can go to those shelves and use technologies

according to our needs in problem solving.

U3d-L1

• The technology of putting together mechanical parts to produce, control, and transmit motion.

Example applications: •Gear systems in a car transmission, •Brakes on a bicycle, •Agitator in a washing machine, •Latch on a door.•Springs in vehicle shocks

U3d-L1

• Machines are artifacts that transmit or change the application of power, force, or motion.

• What is an artifact?– something created by humans usually for a practical purpose.

• Machines can be simple or complex– Complex machines are comprised of….

• Inputs go in• Outputs come out
