The Career TeamScientist: Helps discover and explains how the world around us works.
Engineer: Defines the problem and comes up with a solution the problem.
Technologist: Works closely with the engineer to make improvements to an existing product.
Technicians: Tests, fixes and maintains products.
Craft person: Builds the product that the Engineer designed.
The Core Technologies
Materials – TTO producing, altering and combining materials
Mechanical – TTO putting mechanical parts together to produce, control, and transmit
motion.
Optical: TTO producing light; controlling light; using light for information collection,processing, storage, retrieval, and communication, and using light to do work.
Structural: TTO putting parts and materials together to create supports, containers, ,shelters, connectors, and functional shapes.
Thermal: TTO producing, storing, controlling, transmitting, and getting workfrom heat energy.
Bio-tech: TTO using, adapting, and altering organisms and biological processes for a desired outcome.
Electronics: TTO using small amounts of electricity for controlling; detecting; and information collecting, storing, retrieving, processing, and communicating.
Electrical: TTO producing, storing, controlling, transmitting, and getting work from electrical energy.
Fluid: TTO using fluid, either gaseous (pneumatics) or liquid (hydraulics) to apply force or to transport
The building blocks of all technology systems

Technology SystemsCombining Core Technologies to create products
Fluid – air in the tires, oil for the brakes
Structural – Frame of the car
Optical - Head lights to see at night
Thermal – Radiator to keep engine cool
Material – The stuff the car is made out of
Electrical – Battery and alternator to generate electricity
Mechanical – The engine and transmission of car
Electronic – Computer to control fuel consumption

Application and Derivation of Technology
BioTechnology
• Vaccines developed for use in immunization – require specialized technologies to support environments in which
a sufficient amount of vaccines are produced.
• Artificial ecosystems – Human-made complexes that replicate some aspects of the natural
environment.
• Genetic engineering– Involves modifying the structure of DNA to produce novel genetic
make-ups.
• Technological advances in agriculture – Genetically altered crops– Directly affect the time and number of people required to produce
food for a large population.
