open loop, closed loop & system thinking
what is an open-looped system
is a control system that has no means for
comparing the output
what is a function
the purpose of an object
what is vital for most everyday activities.
Electricity
what is Optimization
The process of designing or making a product, process effective, or as near perfection as possible.
A technology system is a what
group of resources (subsystems) working together to solve problems and extend human capabilities.
what is a closed-loop system
is a control system that uses feedback from the output
Aesthetics involves all your senses name one of them
all possible answers: hearing, touch, taste, and smell - your emotions, vision
The more parts and connections in a system,the more likely what happens
something may not work properly and in need for human intervention
Optimization is used for what
a specific design purpose to enhance or to make small gains in desirable charactersistics
The core technologies are considered
basic building blocks
what is feedback
information used to monitor or control a system
what are the 3 constraints that are almost involved all the time
Time, money, safety among other constraints
A complex system is what
a system whose properties are not fully explained by an understanding of its component parts
Trade-off involves what
a choice or exchange for one quality over another.
List 3 examples for core technology's
Biotechnology, Electrical Electronic, Fluid, Materials, Mechanical, Optical, Structural, Thermal
Control of open-loop systems often
requires what
human intervention
Designers must compare the solution to what
the criteria and constraints of the problem.
The heating/cooling
system in your home is
a what
Closed system
trade-offs are made in order to meet what
the characteristics of an optimum design
what is one word that describes Electronic Technology
DATA
A system often includes a {what} that permits revising or refining the system when the feedback information suggests such action
a Component
what are all 3 design principles are used to create designs across all technologies and to evaluate designs
Function, Aesthetics, and efficiency
what is a perfect example of a very
complex system.
The human body
Quality control is concerned about what
with how well a product, service, or system conforms to specification
what does STEM stand for
science, technology, engineering, and math
