1 00:00:03,759 --> 00:00:14,640 Well, the first thing that we need to learn if we are a beginner in the study of technology 2 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:24,579 is what usually called project approach, is the method that technology usually use to 3 00:00:24,579 --> 00:00:35,939 solve the problems that the society gives it and it is very characteristic so we are 4 00:00:35,939 --> 00:00:49,200 going to explain it and we do a project in this course so we also do it. 5 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:56,359 I suppose that now you know at least a definition of technology. 6 00:00:56,359 --> 00:01:02,539 I know it's very difficult because technology in general is quite difficult. 7 00:01:02,539 --> 00:01:13,260 You can study information technology or you can study electricity, electrical technology 8 00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:23,439 or so on, but technology in general is very very difficult to define, but I suppose now 9 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:27,219 you have at least a definition of it. 10 00:01:27,219 --> 00:01:33,780 But what is the most characteristic of technology is its objective. 11 00:01:33,780 --> 00:01:47,019 Technology creates tools, creates devices that help us to overcome our human limits 12 00:01:47,019 --> 00:01:52,719 and in this way it eases our life. 13 00:01:52,719 --> 00:02:07,980 But to do this, a very characteristic method which results is known as projects. 14 00:02:07,980 --> 00:02:16,680 So projects are the application of technology and they are really interesting. 15 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:27,240 all the project has been developed using a method that we are going to describe 16 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:41,259 now approach and it has three main steps firstly the design after that we make we 17 00:02:41,259 --> 00:02:48,939 usually may make the the thing that we have created we have decided and finally 18 00:02:48,939 --> 00:02:56,699 with this this this thing this tool the device we taste we do some tasties with 19 00:02:56,699 --> 00:03:10,840 some exams we write report in which we usually tell to other people is this is 20 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:22,840 a good solution or not as itself half difference step if you want to design if 21 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:35,400 want to solve something that humans or society ask you, the first thing that you should do 22 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:48,120 is searching information because nowadays most of the problems have something similar in the past. 23 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:57,719 so it's very useful for you to know what are different solutions in the history of 24 00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:09,590 of technology after that you can create your own idea you need to choose the best idea 25 00:04:09,590 --> 00:04:22,069 and express ads so develop the idea as consequence of the develop of this this idea you can know what 26 00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:34,339 you are going to need to create to make the idea in a real life to produce to produce this so the 27 00:04:34,339 --> 00:04:44,740 The first limit, the first difficulty that you usually have is express your ideas, why? 28 00:04:44,740 --> 00:04:56,459 Because obviously you need to draw it and everybody draws but not only do you need to 29 00:04:56,459 --> 00:05:06,899 to draw it, but also you need that the other people can understand what you have drawn. 30 00:05:06,899 --> 00:05:10,300 So this is the main difficulty. 31 00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:16,819 And to do this you need to draw under some rules. 32 00:05:16,819 --> 00:05:27,180 So you can do a draft, that is something that is your idea and your express drawing, but 33 00:05:27,180 --> 00:05:30,079 after that you need to sketch that. 34 00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:39,879 You need to use some rules that are, in most of the cases, quite difficult. 35 00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:49,110 And you also can do better if you want, as a draw, as a good draw. 36 00:05:49,110 --> 00:05:55,170 To express your idea you need to use some rules and the main important rule is the European 37 00:05:55,170 --> 00:06:02,350 system that you are going to study and learn in this course. 38 00:06:02,350 --> 00:06:15,990 The European system expresses objects using the projection of the projects in the space. 39 00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:24,990 Don't worry now, because we are going to learn slowly. 40 00:06:24,990 --> 00:06:36,709 But now you need also to express the length of your project. 41 00:06:36,709 --> 00:06:45,709 You need to express the limits of the part of the project, the dimensions of your project. 42 00:06:45,709 --> 00:06:51,709 and it is really, really important if you want to do a good design. 43 00:06:51,709 --> 00:07:03,490 A project usually has more than one part, so you need to know the different parts in your project 44 00:07:03,490 --> 00:07:10,490 and also the materials and the quantity of each part you need. 45 00:07:10,490 --> 00:07:26,319 This is the catalyst sometimes and it's very important because if you have a catalyst, you can know or you can plan in a planification. 46 00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:40,319 You need to know a program with different tasks that you are going to do in order to make your project. 47 00:07:40,319 --> 00:08:01,319 Not only the different steps of this project but also materials, tools, times and very often you also have to do a budget. 48 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:09,319 So this is part of a planification and this is part of the design of your project. 49 00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:28,139 The design of your projects obviously need to be expressed, need to be written in a document. 50 00:08:28,139 --> 00:08:36,139 And the document is the proposal, it's a proposal obviously, and it has these parts. 51 00:08:36,139 --> 00:09:03,299 You have a cover page, an index, a memory in which you describe your project, mainly why you have chosen this idea and not others, a planification, a material list, tool list, budget, sketches, and cut list. 52 00:09:03,299 --> 00:09:28,299 All these are parts of your proposal and we are going to do in a particular case, that I don't know what can be in this course, but I think it's good for all of you. 53 00:09:28,299 --> 00:09:42,669 So, please now do the activities and we will see in the next video.
