1. What is technology?

Technology is the practical application of knowledge (science) and skills (techniques) to create
solutions (technological objects or systems) which satisfy our needs or solve our problems.

2. FACTORS IN THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS

1. Knowledge of physical and scientific concepts
2. Technical drawing to transmit the idea of an object
3. Materials and their properties
4. Working techniques (procedures or skills)
5. Economic considerations
6. Environment
7. Information technology (computers)

3. THE PROCESS OF PLANNING A TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTION:

Approach and analysis of needs

and problems
