3. Design and Application

Students will identify and develop an awareness of the attributes of design and engineering practices, the role of research and development, invention and innovation, and experimentation play in developing solutions to a problem.  

 

Standard	Descriptor
#8	Students will develop an understanding of the attributes of design.
#9	Students will develop an understanding of engineering design.
#10	Students will develop an understanding of the role of troubleshooting, research and development, invention and innovation, and experimentation in problem solving.

  4. Abilities for a Technological World

Students will develop the ability to intentionally apply the design process, implementation of tools and machines to model, test, troubleshoot, observe, investigate, and analyze the relationship between solutions and assess impacts on all technological products and systems.

Standard	Descriptor
#11	Students will develop the abilities to apply the design process.
#12	Students will develop the abilities to use and maintain technological products and systems.
#13	Students will develop the abilities to assess the impact of products and systems.

          

        LEARNING TARGET:  Stability in a technological system is affected by the                                                                            component's within the contained system
