THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS
TECHNOLOGY SOLVES PROBLEMS
Throughout history, human beings have invented increasingly complex oblects and mechanisms to satisfy their needs.
MATERIALS AND THEIR PROPERTIES, which determine the features of the product, for example cars and aircraft.
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL knowledge and concepts.
TECHNICAL DRAWING, wich conveys the idea of an object.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY throughout all the design and
manulfacturing process.
WORK TECHNIQUES Include how to use tools, transformation
procedures and assembly processes
ECONOMIC FACTORS like the pnce of matenals, production costs, supply and demand and the buying power of the population.
STAGES IN THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS
The technological process consists of several stages
NEEDS
What solutions can you think of
INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS AND SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM
Use different sources to look for examples of similar situations. Now think of a solution to this problem and draw a simple plan for it.
BRAINSTORMING AND MAKING A GROUP DECISION
Each person presents their proposal. We choose one of them, or decide to combine several of them into a
single contcept
PLANNING
Process sheet
Working plans
Calculations and quotation
CONSTRUCTION
We begin with the support pieces, or the more complex pieces to which we can join the other pieces more easily.
VERIFICATION AND EVALUATION
We must evaluate carefully the final result of each protect.
ESSENTIAL TOOLS FOR TECHNOLOGY
There are many types of tools that we can use in technology
PHYSICAL TOOLS
to cut, to saw, to perforate.
to nail, to secrew.
to mesure, to draw, to mark.
to join, to fasten.
IT TOOLS
Work processors and spreadsheets
Computer graphics programms and tools.
Presentation programs.
Database programs.
ORGANISATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE WORKSHOP
The workshop is a special type of classroom where we can put technology into practice.
WORKSPACE
Materials
We keep them in small storerooms.
Projects
. We keep them on shelves, organised by class and with a number for each group.
Tools
We can organise and identify them using colour codes, and
we can keep them in numbered toolboxes
DUCUMENTATION
There is an area of the workshop where we keep different types of documents related to projects.
general books, papers and documents
books relating to specific topics, for example,engines
specialist magazines
WORK GROUPS
Students work in groups.
Each student has a specific role and must assume a responsibility.
THE COMPANY, THE MARKET AND THE ENVIRONMENT
BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
Companies that produce goods, carry out similar procedures to those we follow m the classroom they develop products, manufacture them and sell them to the consumer.
ADVERTISING AND CONSUMPTION
Companies develop products to meet consumer demand They sell them at a higher price than their manufacturing cost to make a profit.
IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
Exhausting of natural resources and raw materials.
Social inequalities
between countries and regions.
Pollution
the impact of substances and human activities that are damaging to living organisms, people, animals, vegetation, lakes and rivers.
ANALYSIS OF TECHNICAL OBJECTS
To analyse an object, we need to ask ourselves certain questions. The answers to these questions give us useful information about the object.
ANALYSIS OF FORM
Draw the complete object in perspective.
Separate the object into its components and draw
each of them in perspective, or from its different
views plan, side elevation and front elevation.
What is its exterior shape spherical, conical,
pyramidal or prismatic?
What are its exterior dimensions: height, width and
depth, in millimetres?
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
This can refer both to the manufacturing of an object and to the way it works.
How many components does the object have?
What materials do we use to make the object?
How are the components assembled?
Which principles of physics do we use to form the
basis of how it works?
What is the process for making the object?
What are the standard dimensions?
SOCIOECONOMIC ANALYSIS
We study the object in relation to its social use and its effect on the economy and environment.
What is the origin of the object and what needs does it satisfy?
How have we previously met these needs throughout history?
What effect does it have on the environment?
4.How do we market the product?
What is the approximate retail price of each one? Do you think it's cheap or expensive?
ANALYSIS OF FUNCTION
Each object shoufd be analysed in relation to the following questions.
What are the uses of the object?
How does it works?
What are the instructions for use?
What risks are there to people when they use it?
How should we look after and maintain it?
What other objects work in a similar way?
SAFETY IN THE WORK SHOP
In the classroom workshop we use tools, and machmes that are potentially dangerous if we do not use them correctly.
HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS
Ask your teacher.
do not wear rings, necklaces...
before using a tool,make sure that it's in good working order
Always use appropriate protective clothing.
Study the organisation and layout of teh workshop.
Respect the signs.
HYGIENE
Make sure that your hands are clean and dry
Tell your teacher inmediately if you hurt yourself.
Keep your workbench clean and well organised while you work
At the end of the class, clean and tidy up your workbench and the workshop.
