SPI 0807.T/E.2 Eng Design ProcessSPI 0807.T/E.3 Unintended Consequences

Engineering Design ProcessStep One: Identify a need

Activity SPI 0807.T/E.2 Eng Design Process

SPI 0807.T/E.3 Unintended Consequences

(1) Identify one or more needs humans have for building and using robots.Write this on your dry erase boardBe prepared to share your ideas

(2) Identify one or more needs humans have for embedding and/or grafting machine technology into or onto their bodiesWrite this on your dry erase boardBe prepared to share your ideas

Man and Machine: Where will this technology take us in the future?

Notes SPI 0807.T/E.2 Eng Design Process

SPI 0807.T/E.3 Unintended Consequences

Will robots become intelligent and be our friendly servants like C3PO and R2D2 from the Star Wars movies?What might be some unintended consequences of this?

Notes SPI 0807.T/E.2 Eng Design Process

SPI 0807.T/E.3 Unintended Consequences

Or will robots and machines become intelligent and merge with people to become cyborg-humans?What might be some unintended consequences of this?

Notes SPI 0807.T/E.2 Eng Design Process

SPI 0807.T/E.3 Unintended Consequences

Or will robots become intelligent and become our deadly enemies like in the Terminator movies or the Matrix movies?
