  1. General Instructions • The test will consist of many multiple choice questions, a few short answer questions, and one sketch • This is a 60 minute test, but you will have the entire period if you need it. • All materials covered since the beginning of the year will be covered by the test.

  2. Rules for Brainstorming focused. • Encourage wild ideas. • Defer judgment. • Build on the ideas of others. • One conversation at a time. • Stay focused. • What is Brainstorming? • What is does “feasibility” mean?

  3. Impact of Technology • Paleolithic Era – Stone axes and needles • Mesolithic Era-composite tools and products • Neolithic Era-agriculture, plows, pottery • Bronze Age • Iron Age • Middle Ages-windmills, ocean going vessels, money, urbanization • Renaissance – science, scientific instruments, arts, humanities • Industrial Age – mass production, • Information Age • Technology has always impacted how we live • Technology has impacted how we work – e.g. few agricultural workers today, growing number of information workers

  4. Core Technologies • The Core Technologies are the building blocks of all technology systems and the designed world. • The core technologies are mechanical, structural, electrical, electronic, fluid, thermal, optical, materials, and biotech. • Know definitions and examples of each

  5. Sketching • Isometric views – equal angle • Oblique views – full front view, top and side appear to go back into the page and to the right • Multiview • Orthographic projection – glass box • Construction boxes • 4 types of drawing lines: Hidden, construction, object, and center lines • Sketches are a means of communication between designers and builders • Tonal Shading

  6. Materials • Metals and Alloys • Ceramics • Organics • Plastics • Composites

  7. The Design Process • The 12 steps of the Design Process: • Define the Problem • Brainstorm • Research and Generate Ideas • Identify Criteria and Constraints – define these • Explore DifferentPossibilities • Select an approach • Develop a design proposal • Make a model or prototype • Test and evaluate the design using specifications • Refine the Design • Create or Make it • Communicate the processes and results

  8. The Design Process • What is the purpose of the Design Process? • Vocabulary words: • Problem solving • Design Process • Constraints • Risk Analysis • Prototype • Resources

  9. Safety • General Rules • Drill Press • Band Saw

  10. Band Saw

  11. Drill Press

  12. General • What is Technology? • The application of knowledge, tools and skills to solve problems and extend human capabilities. • What is the difference between engineering and technology • System: a group of resources (people, information, tools, energy, capital, time, and materials) working together for a purpose.
