STL #18: Students will develop an understanding of and be able to select and use transportation technologies THE DESIGNED WORLD

Notes:
  • students need experience in developing, using, and analyzing transportation technologies
  • modeling real world situations and concepts
  • open-ended problems
  • students keep journals/handouts
  • report results to rest of the class
In order to select, use, and understand transportation technologies, students should learn
Bullet Points:
6-8

  • transporting people and goods involves a combination of individuals and vehicles
  • transportation vehicles are made up of subsystems, such as structural, propulsion, suspension, guidance, control, and support, that must function together for a system to work effectively
  • governmental regulations often influence the design and operation of transportation systems
  • processes, such as receiving, holding, storing, loading, moving, unloading, delivering, evaluating, marketing, managing, communicating, and using conventions are necessary for the entire transportation system to operate efficiently
9-12

  • transportation plays a vital role in the operation of other technologies, such as manufacturing, construction, communication, health and safety, and agriculture
  • intermodalism is the use of different modes of transportation, such as highways, railways, and waterways, as part of an interconnected system that can move people and goods easily from on mode to another
  • transportation services and methods have led to a population that is regularly on the move
  • the design of intelligent and nonintelligent transportation systems depends on many processes and innovative techniques
