Engineering happens when
technology meets societal needs.
Scientific Knowledge and Technology
A body of scientific knowledge and technology exists.
Society has needs that can be addressed by science and technology.
Societal Needs
Engineering happens when
technology meets societal needs.
Societal Needs
The application of scientific knowledge and technology for the benefit of humankind is the
domain of engineering.
Scientific Knowledge and Technology
Innovation – creates something new that meets the needs of the market in new and much better way
Iteration – makes a gradual improvement to something that exists (e.g., makes it stronger, faster, less expensive)
What are examples of innovations and iterations?
Innovation and iteration are improvements in technology.
Time
Advances
Iteration – Slower improvements Innovation –
Rapid technical improvements
Unit Project :
The Evolution of Imaging
The technology behind cameras has improved over time.
You will be assigned a time period (between the late 1800s and today)
You will create a timeline with important dates and events in imaging technology.
During the unit, each team will present its time
period (in order) and the class will discuss the overall
evolution of imagery.
What’s Next?
