System</p><p>The result or product of a process is called a? Output.</p><p>The first step in designing or redesigning a product is? Deciding what needs you are trying to meet.</p><p>An engineer is? A Person trained to use both technological and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.</p><p>In the technology design process, the next step after defining a problem is to? Research the problem fully.</p><p>In designing a toy with wheels, friction is an example of a? Constraint.</p><p>Prototypes are used to? Test the operation of a product.</p><p>Identifying the cause of any problems in a design is an example of? Troubleshooting.</p><p>Harnessing wind to produce electricity is an example of? Technology</p><p>An example of troubleshooting used by engineers when building the early computer mouse was? Replacing the steel ball of the mouse with a rubber ball to reduce the noise and make it easier to clean.</p><p>What stage of technology design process involves coming up with ideas or different ways to solve a problem? Solution stage.</p><p>A working model used to test a design is called a? Prototype</p><p>Once the causes of a problem with a product are indentified, the next step is to? Redesign the product.</p><p>One example of communication a solution to a technological problem is? Advertising, explaining the design to manufacturers and demonstrating the product to consumers.</p><p>After a design has been tested successfully, what should engineers do to share information about the product? Communicate the solution.</p><p>A patent gives an inventor exclusive rights to an invention? For a limited time.</p><p>What do people have to do if they want to sell a patented invention? Obtain the patent owner’s permission. Chapter 1 Guided Notes – Study Guide. Test Tuesday September 14, 2012</p><p>At what times has technology had a large impact on society? Throughout history.</p><p>An example of Iron Age technology is? Iron chisel</p><p>Automobile air bag technology has? Both positive and negative impacts.</p><p>One positive effect of pesticides is? Greater food production</p><p>In deciding whether to use a technology, people must analyze? Both risks and benefits.</p><p>Deciding whether to buy a new lightweight helmet that provides less protection than a heavier helmet is an example of? Risk-benefit analysis.</p><p>When engineers identify a need, they first? Clearly define the problem they are trying to solve.</p><p>One way for engineers to obtain information is to? Attend conferences.</p><p>Modified True/False (if false, change the identified word or phrase to make statement true)</p><p>Eye glasses are on example of how technology has improved lives. T</p><p>Studying how air currents affect weather is an example of technology. F – Science.</p><p>Technology is always the same. F – Changing</p><p>Engineers are trained to use both technological and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems. T</p><p>To research a problem with an existing product, engineers may conduct tests to gather information about it. T</p><p>Cost is an example of a (n) constraint in designing a product. T</p><p>Patents are used to test the operation of a product. F – Prototypes.</p><p>Once a product is ready to be sold, engineers explain their ideas to marketing people, who will sell the product. F – Advertise.</p><p>Technological advances usually decrease the amount of work that people can accomplish. F – Increase.</p><p>Technology has no impact on society. F – A large.</p><p>Complete each statement.</p><p>Products that help people meet their needs or solve practical problems are examples of? Technology</p><p>Technology changes the natural world to meet human needs. </p><p>Two possible problems with emerging technologies are that they may be expensive and may not work properly.</p><p>Feedback is information a system uses to monitor and adjust itself to meet the goal.
