| Standard 1: Students will develop an understanding of the
characteristics and scope of technology.
|
This standard is covered in all phases of the investigation. |
|
|
Standard 8: Students will develop an understanding of the attributes
of design.
- Design is a creative planning process that leads to useful products
and systems.
- There is no perfect design.
- Requirements for a design are made up of criteria and constraints.

Standard 9: Students will develop an understanding of engineering
design.
- Design involves a set of steps, which can be performed in different
sequences and repeated as needed.
- Brainstorming is a group problem-solving process in which each
person in the group presents his or her ideas in an open forum.
- Modeling, testing, evaluating, and modifying are used to transform
ideas into practical solutions.

Standard 10: Students will develop an understanding of the role of
troubleshooting, research and development, invention and
innovation, and experimentation in problem solving.
- Troubleshooting is a problem-solving method used to identify the
cause of a malfunction in a technological system.
- Invention is a process of turning ideas and imagination into devices
and systems. Innovation is the process of modifying an existing
product or system to improve it.
- Some technological problems are best solved through
experimentation.

Standard 11: Students will develop abilities to apply the design
process.
- Apply a design process to solve problems in and beyond the
laboratory/classroom.
- Specify criteria and constraints for the design.
- Make two-dimensional and three-dimensional representations of the
designed solution.
- Test and evaluate the design in relation to preestablished
requirements, such as criteria and constraints, and refine as needed.
- Make a product or system and document the solution.

Standard 16: Students will develop an understanding of and be able
to select and use energy and power technologies.
- Energy is the capacity to do work.
- Energy can be used to do work, using many processes.
- Power is the rate at which energy is converted from one form to
another or transferred from one place to another, or the rate at which
work is done.
- Power systems are used to drive and provide propulsion to other
technological products or systems.
