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 --> 00:02:56,680
with this this this thing this tool the device we taste we do some tasties we

19
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:10,539
do some exams we write report in which we usually tell to other people is this

20
00:03:10,539 --> 00:03:28,050
is a good solution or not and we want to to do is itself half difference step

21
00:03:28,050 --> 00:03:41,229
If you want to design, if you want to solve something that humans or society ask you,

22
00:03:41,229 --> 00:03:47,389
the first thing that you should do is searching information.

23
00:03:47,389 --> 00:03:56,830
Because nowadays most of the problems have something similar in the past.

24
00:03:56,830 --> 00:04:09,240
So it's very useful for you to know what are different solutions in the history of technology.

25
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,819
After that, you can create your own idea.

26
00:04:14,819 --> 00:04:21,180
You need to choose the best idea and express it.

27
00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:30,439
develop the idea, as consequence of the development of this idea, you can know what you are going

28
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:40,670
to need to make the art in real life, to produce this art.

29
00:04:40,670 --> 00:04:51,069
So the first limit, the first difficulty that you usually have is to express your ideas.

30
00:04:51,069 --> 00:04:52,069
Why?

31
00:04:52,069 --> 00:05:03,910
Because obviously you need to draw it, and everybody draws, but not only do you need

32
00:05:03,910 --> 00:05:14,449
to draw it, but also you need that the other people can understand what you have drawn.

33
00:05:14,449 --> 00:05:24,370
So this is the main difficulty, and to do this you need to draw under some rules.

34
00:05:24,370 --> 00:05:34,730
So you can do a draft, that is something that is your idea and your express drawing, but

35
00:05:34,730 --> 00:05:37,629
after that you need to sketch that.

36
00:05:37,629 --> 00:05:48,509
You need to use some rules that are, in most of the cases, quite difficult and you also

37
00:05:48,509 --> 00:05:56,660
can do better if you want, as a draw, as a good draw.

38
00:05:56,660 --> 00:06:02,720
To express your idea you need to use some rules and the main important rule is European

39
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:13,600
system that you are going to to study and learn in this course european system express the objects

40
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:25,680
using the the the projection of the projects in the in the space don't worry now

41
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:41,959
because we are going to to learn slowly but not but now you need also to to express the

42
00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:50,120
lens of your project you need to express the limits of the part of the projects the

43
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:58,939
the dimensions of your project and it is really really important if you want to do a good design

44
00:06:58,939 --> 00:07:11,319
a project usually have more than one part so you need to know the first parts in your project and

45
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:20,800
also the materials and the quantity of each part you need. This is the catalyst

46
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:27,879
sometimes and it's very important because if you have a catalyst you can

47
00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:38,649
know or you can plan in a planification you need to know a program with

48
00:07:38,649 --> 00:07:49,850
different tasks that you are going to do in order to make your project. Not only

49
00:07:49,850 --> 00:08:01,509
the different steps of this project but also materials, tools, times

50
00:08:01,509 --> 00:08:10,089
and very often you also have to do a budget so this is part of our

51
00:08:10,089 --> 00:08:15,790
planification and this is part of the project of the design of your project

52
00:08:15,790 --> 00:08:25,769
and the design of your projects obviously need to be expressed need to

53
00:08:25,769 --> 00:08:44,029
be written in a document. The document is a proposal, obviously, and it has these parts.

54
00:08:44,029 --> 00:08:53,529
You have a cover page, an index, a memory in which you describe your project, mainly

55
00:08:53,529 --> 00:09:06,289
why you have chosen this idea and not others, a planification, a material list, tool list,

56
00:09:06,289 --> 00:09:11,710
budget, sketches and cut list.

57
00:09:11,710 --> 00:09:25,389
All these are parts of your proposal and we are going to do in a particular case that

58
00:09:25,389 --> 00:09:41,659
I don't know what can be in this course, but I think it's good for all of you.

59
00:09:41,659 --> 00:09:50,220
So please now do the activities we will see in the next video.
