  1. Technology Systems:Core Technologies

  2. Technology System A technology system is a group of resources (subsystems) working together to solve problems and extend human capabilities. • In your notes, list the: • problem a jet ski solves. • The subsystems that work together in a jet ski.

  3. Core Technologies • The core technologies are the “building blocks” of all technology systems.

  4. Core Technologies • Mechanical • Structural • Electrical • Electronic • Fluid • Optical • Thermal • Biotechnology • Materials

  5. Mechanical Technology • Technology of putting together mechanical parts to produce, control and transmit motion. Examples

  6. Structural Technology • Technology of putting mechanical parts and materials together to create supports, containers, shelters, connectors and functional shapes. Examples

  7. Electrical Technology • Technology of producing, storing, controlling, transmitting and getting work from electrical energy. Examples

  8. Electronic Technology • Technology of using small amounts of electricity for controlling; detecting; and information collecting, storing, retrieving, processing and communicating. Examples

  9. Fluid Technology • Technology of using fluid, either gas (pneumatics) or liquid (hydraulic) to apply force or to transport. Examples

  10. Optical Technology • Technology of producing light; using light for information collection, storage, retrieval, process and communication; and using light to do work. Examples

  11. Thermal Technology • Technology of producing, storing, controlling, transmitting and getting work from heat energy. Examples

  12. Biotechnology • Technology of using, adapting, and altering organisms and biological processes for a desired outcome. Examples

  13. Materials Technology • Technology of producing, altering, and combining materials. Examples

  14. With a Partner • Turn to your table partner and share which core technology you find most interesting and why. • With the help of your partner, indicate in your notes one job that might be found under each core technology.
