Technology problen solving

We analyse the shape of the object, its size, colour and basic physical characteristisc.

We study how the object works, its utility,how it is used and the potential risks of its use.

We evaluated how the object was made. This analysis includes the study of its materials, the technology used to make it, how its parts are joined together and the enviromental risks of the materials used.

We analyse the financial cost of manufacturing the product and its selling price.

We study the object from the point of view of its social impact and analyse the human needs that it meets. We also evaluated its enviromental impact and recyclability.

We evaluated how our sense react to the objectr, its appearance, whethe it looks nice or not, whether we find it attractive, etc.

We evaluated the possible reasons why the project emerged and its historical deveopment.

If we are very clear about the problem we need to resolve and we know all the details, the rest of the process will be easier.

We collate, study and select information on the diferent ways that we could resolve the problem. We also study products that meet similar needs.

We think of the different option, i.e. different objects or products that could resolve our problem. We study and assess each option to see if it is viable.

We choose the best solution based on the criteria thet we set as priorities (tupe of material, size, shape, cost,etc) and after analysing the advantages and dasadvantages of each solutio.

We choosen the materials, techniques and tools that we are going to need. We split the work up into small rasks and decide how long we need to spend on each operation. We then share out the work and put the blocks of work on order.

This is the stage where we build, assemble and finish the parts and assemble the object. At this stage, we need to put our new theoretical knowledge to work and use the tools and materials we chose aerlier. We also need to remember to economise on material.

We check that the product work and that it does what we want it to do. We evaluate the aesthetic (appearance) of the product and, if necessary, we propose changes and improvements.

We present our work and have it assessed by people outside the group.

We draw up a report on the project that we carried out to put together aññ the information about the process we followed

Drawings show how the object we are going to build will look.Drawing of its differets part of sections.

Your list of materials should not be a vague list, it should contain each element that we need and the correct amounts of each one.

The budge is the document that we use to evaluated the finalcian cost of our solution.Spreadsheets are very useful for creating budgets.

We use this documents to record the progress of the stages of our work each day.We can also create a constrution log.

This document includes all of the above documents and the following:

Description of the prototype built

List of modifications made

Final drawing of the solutions

Total cost of the project, with modifications, and the number of hours spend on it.

Enviromental impact of the solution created.

Your own thoughts about how the work went.

is a modification made to a product to adapt it to new conditions brought about by changes in requimerents of progress.

We mean that some products have fallen into dicuse because they do not have the functionality of the new technologies appearing on the market.due to alack of spare parts for their repair,as a result of changing trends.
