bullet Standard MST5: Technology
Students will apply technological knowledge and skills to design, construct, use, and evaluate products and systems to satisfy human and environmental needs.
Engineering Design
Key Idea Key Idea MST5.ED1:
Engineering design is an iterative process involving modeling and optimization used to develop technological solutions to problems within given constraints.
Tools, Resources and Technological Processes
Key Idea Key Idea MST5.TR2:
Technological tools, materials, and other resources should be selected on the basis of safety, cost, availability, appropriateness, and environmental impact; technological processes change energy, information, and material resources into more useful forms.
Computer Technology
Key Idea Key Idea MST5.CT3:
Computers, as tools for design, modeling, information processing, communication, and system control, have greatly increased human productivity and knowledge.
Technological Systems
Key Idea Key Idea MST5.TS4:
Technological systems are designed to achieve specific results and produce outputs, such as products, structures, services, energy, or other systems.
History and Evolution of Technology
Key Idea Key Idea MST5.HT5:
Technology has been the driving force in the evolution of society from an agricultural to an industrial to an information base.
Impacts of Technology
Key Idea Key Idea MST5.IT6:
Technology can have positive and negative impacts on individuals, society, and the environment. Humans have the capability and responsibility to constrain or promote technological development.
Management of Technology
Key Idea Key Idea MST5.MT7:
Project management is essential to ensuring that technological endeavors are profitable and that products and systems are of high quality and built safely, on schedule, and within budget.
Alternate Standards
Engineering Design
Key Idea Key Idea MST5.alt.ED1:
Engineering design is an iterative process, involving modeling and optimization and finding the best solution within given constraints, which is used to develop technological solutions to problems within given constraints.
Tools, Resources, and Technological Processes
Key Idea Key Idea MST5.alt.TR2:
Technological tools, materials and other resources should be selected on the basis of safety, cost, availability, appropriateness and environmental impact; technological processes change energy, information and material resources into more useful forms.
