Open- loop, Closed Loop & Systems Thinking
A (Fill in blank) is a group of interrelated
components designed collectively
to achieve a desired goal.
What is a system
A (Fill in blank) is a system whose properties are not fully explained by an understanding of its component parts.
What is a complex system.
(Fill in blank) is the desired elements and features of a
product or system.
What is criteria.
One of the greatest benefits of learning about technology is also learning to (Fill in blank) technology.
What is do
(Fill in blank) is used for a specificdesign purpose to enhance or to make small gains in desirable characteristics.
What is optimization
Control of open-loop systems often requires
(Fill in blank).
What is human intervention.
The more (Fill in blank) and connections in a system
What is parts.
Established design (Fill in blank) are used to create
designs across all technologies and to evaluate
designs.
What is principles.
New products and systems can be developed to solve
problems or to help do things that could not be done without the help of (Fill in blank).
What is technology
In order to maintain established requirements, trade-offs are made in order to meet the characteristics of an (Fill in blank) design.
What is optimum
The input consists of the resources that flow into a (fill in blank)
What is a technological system
If a (Fill in blank) fails at a major intersection it can snarl traffic and cause all kinds of problems for motorist.
What is a traffic light
Function is the purpose of an (Fill in blank)
What is object.
However, the desire or need for new products or systems can cause (Fill in blank) consequences.
What is negative
Quality control is a planned
process to ensure that a
product, service, or system
meets (Fill in blank) criteria.
What is established
The (fill in blank) consists of the resources that flow into a technological system.
What is input
An eample of a complex system is.
What is the human body.
Constraints are (Fill in blank) on a design
What is limitations.
The development of technology is a (Fill in blank) activity.
What is human
Quality control is a (Fill in blank) process to ensure that a product, service, or system meets established criteria.
What is planned
(Fill in blank) of systems is a path to a better (Fill in blank) of how mother nature and human nature work.
First blank: What is Knowledge
Second blank: What is understanding
Complex systems have many layers of (Fill in blank and (Fill in blank) loops to provide information.
First blank: What is controls.
Second blank: What is feedback.
(Fill in blank) criteria and (Fill in blank) constraints will provide the basis for what the design should be and what its limits are.
First blank: What is identifying
Second blank: What is specifying
(Fill in blank) thinking and economic and cultural influences shape technological developments.
What is creative
When something is (Fill in blank) it is very small in
amount or number
What is scarce
