Design process
What is the first step in the design process?
Identify the problem
The steps for creating a new product
Design process
What does technology do?
Helps us solve problems and makes work easier
What is one way trains used to be powered
Coal or steam
Design a prototype
What is one reason to choose a solution over another
cost, time, solves problem
What is the purpose of GPS
Help people not get lost
What is one way trains are powered now
Electricity, diesel, or magnetic levitation
This step involves reading about experiments done by others
Doing research
If the prototype fails did you?
Nope, just learned how not to do it
Does all technology need to be powered
NO
What is an example besides GPS of technology in transportation
Mirrors, electric cars
What happens after you evaluate and redesign
The process starts over
What is an example of technology in your house
Microwave, tv, lights, etc
What do you do after testing the prototype
Communicate results
What is an example of technology at school
