How Mother Nature Has Influenced
Engineering
ways engineers have been inspired by design..
The Innovators Using Nature's Design Principles to Create Green Tech
Using Mother Natures Genius in Architecture
Biomemetric materials
Key Questions to consider before you begin your design.
Do shapes influence design?
Do Animals/environment influence engineering /design?
Does animals adaptation influence design concepts?
Think about what type of things could improve peoples lives
Application steps.
1) Think about answers to the questions above on your own
2) Find animal influences or something specific in mother nature
that influences you to INVENT or INNOVATE the design of a product
FTWE (feathers, teeth, wings, eyes)
Design your product...Concept must come directly from the above...Color changing chameleon. Octopus rope...Does not have to work but has to have the conception of how something specific can be applied for a new product.
Used clay, straws, glue guns...very simple stuff 3 class periods to design/build/present
Standards to be addressed
PBGR 1: The Nature of Technology
Students will identify and demonstrate the interrelationships between technologies and other fields, working to become technologically literate and adaptable in all situations.
PBGR 2:Technology and Society
Students will develop an understanding of the role technology played in
society throughout history as well as the influence/effect technology currently
plays culturally, socially and environmentally and how technologies can continually
evolve to benefit society.
