Adaptive and Assistive BioengineeringObjective
How can I describe and explain adaptive and
assistive bioengineered products?
2
What is Engineering?

• Engineering is the process of creating
  technology.
• Name some examples of technology that engineers,
  scientists, and inventors have created.

3
What is Bioengineering?

• Bioengineering is the application of engineering
  (technology) to living things, such as humans and
  plants.
• Bioengineers look at problems that occur in
  living things and invent technology that will
  help with these problems.

4
Assistive Bioengineering

• Technology that is developed to help organisms,
  but DOES NOT change them.
• ASSIST HELP
• Examples
• Eyeglasses
• Wheelchairs
• Antibiotics

5
Adaptive Bioengineering

• Technology developed to help living organisms and
  DOES change them.
• ADAPT CHANGE
• Examples
• Lasik Eye Surgery
• Knee replacement
• New strains of crop
• in agriculture

6
Adaptive or Assistive????

• On the back of your notes make 2 columns labeled
  Adaptive and Assistive
• Write the name of the item you see underneath the
  type of bioengineering you think it is.
• Remember Assist Help
• Adapt Change

Assignment

• Choose one adaptive bioengineering technology and
  one assistive bioengineering technology to draw.
• Divide your paper into two sections and draw and
  color each.
• Label the item and write one sentence on how each
  piece of technology can help organisms in their
  daily lives.

Engineering Process

• Objective
• How do we know that the engineering design
  process involves an ongoing series of events?

21
Engineering Process

• Step 1 ASK Identifying and Researching a Need
• Example The problem may be to make clothing that
  repels water so that explorers can work, even in
  Antarctica.

22
Engineering Process

• Step 2 IMAGINE Developing Possible Solutions
• Includes Brainstorming of ideas.

23
Engineering Process

• Step 3 IMAGINE Making a Prototype
• Prototype a test model of the product. Allows
  engineers see if their design works the way they
  expected.
• Example clothing that is water proof.

24
Engineering Process

• Step 4 CREATE Testing and Evaluating
• Determines whether the technology does the job is
  was designed to do.
• Cost-benefit analysis determining whether the
  cost of doing something is worth the benefit
  provided.

25
Engineering Process

• Step 5 IMPROVE Modifying and Retesting the
  Solution
• If the prototype was not successful, then
  scientists need to find a new solution.

26
Engineering Process Activity

• Create your own product and follow the
  engineering process to develop your product.
• Include steps 1-5 of the engineering process!!
