System Diagram for Technology

One of the cores of our standards in Technology Education in the Middle School is teaching the students how to solve technical problems using a basic system diagram. A systematic flow chart approach to solving problems is a method that is used by many engineers and systems operators. The students explore the elements of the System Diagram for Technology through a PowerPoint slide show.

They will then apply what they have learned by developing five Input Statements regarding their CO2 Car System. They will go through all the Process steps involved with the creation of their car. We require that they list and name all of the tools, machines and materials/resources needed to finish their project. The actual results or Output of their car are constantly monitored by a variety of methods and devices. The students use triple beam balances, a wind tunnel and will get race time feedback from a computer control race track, The Rupracht Raceway. Lastly, the students will be required to assess their CO2 Car's results and compare them with their desired results/input and be able to express how, if given a chance, they could adjust or make their car better, thus matching their desired results!
