  2. The History of Engineering STANDARD: ENGR-FET 1 ENGR-FET 2 ENGR-FET 5

  3. The History of Engineering Please copy the following Essential Questions. It will count for 10% of your portfolio: What are some key historical events and their impacts on engineering and technology? What are some social issues that have influenced innovation and technological development? Who are some key persons who have contributed to technological change?

  4. Invention • Timeline • Catapult Vocabulary Words for this Unit

  5. What is Engineering defined as? Review Introduction of Engineering

  6. Definition of Engineering • The application of math, natural sciences, and technology use to change resources into products to satisfy human needs. Review Introduction of Engineering

  7. Invention of the automobile and the assembly line • Invention of the light bulb • Invention of the radio • Invention of the telephone & Television • Invention of flight Historical Events

  8. People in society found it difficult to get ketchup out of the original design bottle, thus engineers and designer had to redesign (the final step of the engineering design process – we’ll learn more about this sometime this year) a new way of removing ketchup by designing the bottle upside down. Social Issues that influenced technology development

  9. Not until people were killed in accidents, engineers redesigned seatbelts for safer vehicles. • What other social issues have lead to the redesign or innovation of a new technology? More Social Issues that influenced technology development

  10. Alexander Graham Bell • Thomas Edison • Karl Benz • George Washington Carver • Henry ford • Wilbur & Orville Wright • Dr. Robert Goddard • Leonardo Da Vinci • Bill gates • James Watt • Joseph Strauss • Steve Jobs Key persons who have contributed to technological change:

  11. Research 6 famous historical Inventors and Innovators. (3 from the list provided) • Then prepare a PowerPoint slide (1 inventor per slide) show involving each inventor/innovator. • Each slide must indicate the inventor’s name, and a photo of him/her, a picture of the invention, state what he/she invented, what year it was invented, his/her engineering discipline, and how the invention impacted society. • The overall slide show must be appealing with added transitional effects such as fade in/out etc. Assessment Task #1:
