Optimization Trade-off Quality Control
Gain received because of decision being made
What is benefit?
Limitations on a design.
What are constraints?
Outputs that aren't wanted.
Undesirable outputs are...
Biotechnology, Electrical, Electronic, Fluid, Materials, Mechanical, Optical ,Structural, and Thermal
What are the 9 core technologies?
Correcting malfunctions in a complex system.
Why is Human intervention needed?
A planned process to ensure that a product, service, or system meets established criteria.
What is Quality control?
The desired elements and features of a product or system.
What is criteria?
A control system that uses feedback from the output to control the input.
What is a closed looped system?
Flashlight battery, light switch, and electric motors are all
Examples of Electrical technology
An arrangement of parts which interact with each other within the system's boundaries to function as a whole.
What is a system?
Designing for perfection.
Optimization is...
Size, color, and shape.
What can criterion be?
A control system that has no means for comparing the output with input.
What is an open-loop system?
Brakes on a bicycle or a latch set on a door.
Examples of mechanical technology
A large number of mutually interacting and interwoven parts, entities or agents.
What do Complex systems consist of?
A choice or exchange for one quality over another.
What does trade-off involve?
Vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell
What are the elements of aesthetics?
Logic and creativity with appropriate compromises in complex real-life problems
Systems thinking applies...
Technology of using small amounts of electricity for controlling; detecting; and information collecting, storing, retrieving, processing and communicating.
What is electronic technology?
A system whose properties are not fully explained by an understanding of its component parts.
What is a complex system?
A specific design purpose to enhance or to make small gains in desirable characteristics.
What is optimization used for?
Appearance, funding, space, materials, and human capabilities.
What do Constraints include?
Chemicals that have accumulated over decades and now are harmful to the environment.
What are delayed outputs?
Storing or producing heat.
What does thermal technology deal with?
Open or closed-looped
Complex systems can be either..
