8.2 Technology Education,
Engineering, and Design: All
students will develop an understanding of the nature and impact of
technology, engineering, technological design, and the designed world,
as they relate to the individual, global society, and the environment.
A. Nature of Technology: Creativity and
Innovation
Technology
products and systems impact every aspect of the world in which we live.
·
Explain the impact of globalization on the development of a
technological system over time.
B. Design: Critical
Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision-Making
The design process is a
systematic approach to solving problems.
·
Design and create a product that addresses a real-world problem using
the design process and working with specific criteria and constraints.
·
Identify the design constraints and trade-offs involved in designing a
prototype (e.g., how the prototype might fail and how it might be
improved) by completing a design problem and reporting results in a
multimedia presentation.
·
Solve a science-based design challenge and build a prototype using
science and math principles throughout the design process.
C. Technological Citizenship, Ethics, and
Society
Knowledge and understanding of human,
cultural, and societal values are fundamental when designing technology
systems and products in the global society.
-
Explain the need for patents and the
process of registering one.
- Compare and
contrast current and past incidences of ethical and unethical use of
labor in the United States or another country and present results in a
media-rich presentation.
D. Research and Information Fluency
Information-literacy skills, research,
data analysis, and prediction provide the basis for
the effective design of technology
systems.
-
Evaluate the role of ethics and bias on
trend analysis and prediction in the development of a product that
impacts communities in the United States and/or other countries.
E. Communication and Collaboration
Digital tools facilitate
local and global communication and collaboration in designing products
and systems.
-
Work in collaboration with peers and
experts in the field to develop a product using the design process,
data analysis, and trends, and maintain a digital log with annotated
sketches to record the development cycle.
F. Resources
for a Technological World
Technological products and systems are
created through the application and appropriate use of technological
resources.
- Explain the impact
of resource selection and processing in the development of a common
technological product or system.
- Explain how the
resources and processes used in the production of a current
technological product can be modified to have a more positive impact
on the environment (e.g., by using recycled metals, alternate energy
sources) and the economy.
G. The
Designed World
The designed world is the
product of a design process that provides the means to convert resources
into products and systems.
-
Explain why human-designed systems,
products, and environments need to be constantly monitored,
maintained, and improved.
-
Explain the interdependence of a
subsystem that operates as part of a system.
