So Engineering is the process that creates technology

• Engineers are the people that
design technology and work
through the process of
engineering something
• Different pieces of technology
can work together to engineer
another product.
• Example an assembly line at a
bakery. Anyone know what
this process may be?
Think of all aspects of your breakfast. 8

Technology is not only used to cook food, but

technology is also used to harvest crops, process
food, and transport food.

Discuss as a whole group all the different parts of

technology that went into getting you your breakfast.
 Technology is everywhere
Anytime one item is used for a new purpose is a new technology. That time
you used your last piece of paper to make a paper airplane to deliver a note
to your friend on the other side of the room. THAT IS TECHNOLOGY!!!
So where is one place you are unlikely to see a 10

lot of technology or evidence of engineering?
