Dimension 3Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science • Technology: a modification of the natural world made to fulfill human needs or desires. • Engineering: a systematic and often iterative approach to designing objects, processes and systems to met human needs and wants. • Application of science: any use of scientific knowledge for a specific purpose, whether to do more science; to design a product; to develop new technology; or to predict the impact of human activities.
Engineering, Technology, and Applications of ScienceETS1: Engineering Design How do engineers solve problems? • ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting an Engineering Problem • What is a design for? • What are the criteria and constraints of a successful solution? • ETS1.B: Developing Possible Solutions • What is the process for developing potential design solutions? • ETS1.C: Optimizing the Design Solution • How can the various proposed design solutions be compared and improved?
Engineering, Technology, and Applications of ScienceETS2: Links Among Engineering, Technology, Science and Society How are engineering, technology, science and society interconnected? • ETS2.A: Interdependence of Science, Engineering and Technology • What are the relationships among science, engineering and technology? • ETS2.B: Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World. • How do science, engineering, and the technologyies that result from them affect the ways in which peple live? • How do they affect the natural world?
