What are some of the facets of engineering
that you see in a hairdryer?
Core Technologies
Objectives
• I can describe the core technologies as they
are applied in the design world in order to
apply them to engineering challenges
throughout the course.
• I can analyze the functioning of core
technologies in the design world to develop
improved solutions to problems.
Engagement
Looking at the list of the 9 Core Technologies,
give an example that pertains to each.
• Bio • Mechanical
• Electrical • Optical
• Electronic • Structural
• Thermal
• Fluid
• Materials
Big Idea
• The nine core technologies (bio, electrical,
electronics, fluid, materials, mechanical,
optical, structural, and thermal) are the
building blocks of the designed world.
• They are used in the development of
technological artifacts (products and
processes) that can help people solve
problems.
Bio
• Definition:
• Using, adapting and altering organisms and
biological processes for a desired outcome
• Examples:
• Stain "eating" enzymes in detergent
• Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s)
• Antibiotics
• Artificial leg
Electrical
• Definition:
• Producing, storing, controlling, transmitting
and getting work from electricity
• Examples:
• Electric fan
• Band Saw
• Hand Drill
Electronic
• Definition:
• Using small amounts of electricity for
collecting, storing, retrieving, and
communicating data
• Examples:
• Smart phone
• iPad
• Car Dashboard
Fluid
• Definition:
• Using fluid, either gaseous (pneumatics) or
liquid (hydraulics) to apply force or to
transport
• Examples:
• Tires (inflated)
• Brakes on a car to compress brake pads
• Heating Ducts to transmit hot air
Material
• Definition:
• Producing, altering and combining materials
• Examples:
• Producing paper from wood
• Bronze made from copper and tin
• Welding metal
Mechanical
• Definition:
• Putting together mechanical parts to
produce, control and transmit motion
• Examples:
• Gears in a car transmission
• Door knob
• Can opener
Optical
• Definition:
• Producing, controlling, and using light for
information collection, processing, storage,
retrieval and communication
• Electromagnetic Spectrum
• Examples:
• Fiber optics
• X-Rays
• Eye Glasses
Structural
• Definition:
• Putting parts and materials together to create
supports, containers, and shelters
• Directly impacted by Material Technology
• Examples:
• Roadways
• Bridges
• Buildings
Thermal
• Definition:
• Producing, storing, controlling, transmitting
and getting work from heat
• Examples:
• Hot water heater
• Toaster Oven
• Refrigerator
Exploration
Apply the 9 Core Technologies to the Human
Body
• Material
• Structural
• Mechanical
• Fluid
• Thermal
• Optical
• Bio
• Electrical
• Electronic
Exploration
Apply the 9 Core Technologies to the Human
•Body
Material – Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Calcium, Phosphorus
• Structural – Bones, Skin, Muscle
• Mechanical - Joints, Muscles, Tendons, Ligaments
• Fluid – Blood
• Thermal – Exothermic Chemical Reactions, Hypothalamus
• Optical - Eyes
• Bio – Entire organism
• Electrical – Chemical communication in nervous system and organs
• Electronic – Smaller signals between cells
Example #1 – Hair Dryer
• List and explain 5 of the 9 core technologies:

• Fluid – N/A
• Thermal – Used to heat ABS plastic to mold
• Optical -– Infrared sensor
• Biological -– N/A
• Electronic -– Uses circuit board – programmed data
• Electrical -– Batteries
Exit Ticket - Example #3
• You will choose an object that can meet ALL nine of the
Core Technologies
TIP - Think of machines that may have BIO first and then
meets the other 8 technologies
• Research will be required
• Describe how this object meets each of the Core
Technologies in the same detail shown in the previous
examples
