historycal developement of technology :-

• Pre Industrial society
• Industrial society
• post industrial society

pre industrial society - steam roadengine design by james watt

Industrial society - telephone, motor car, electronic computer.

Post industrial society - intelectual, information is encoded in comprehensive technological

Growth of Technology :-

application of scientific knowledge for practical application in the product, commercialization and distribution of good services

Development in engineering Technology :-

• engineering material ( concrete, steel, plastic, etc)
• power ( stem to turbine, nuclear, etc )
• transportation ( railway, road, etc )
• computer ( fax, email, etc)

K-Economy

• posessing or promoting new industries created by production, distribution and use knowledge and information
• characterized in continuous learning and new knowledge application
• operate by principle, investment in knowledge provide increasing in return

EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY TO THE SOCIETY FROM THE ENGINEERS CONTRIBUTION

• Failure - engineer is seen as the main contributing factor for the failure
• Eng - play a very important role in a multi disciplinary project team
• Eng - responsible fo ensuring that the building will stand for as long as its design life.

EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY TO THE SOCIETY

1. safety and healt of the public

• to identify all safety and health risks

2. country developement

• contributed very significantly to a country's developement

3. longer life of population

4. comfirtable life of public

5. good comunication

• these were input and built from electrical and electronic engineering

6. Transportation

• good transportation such will open for new business opportunity

why underdevelopment country need A.T??

• low gross national capital
• high birth rate
• high unemployment
• inequality income
• low rate of capital formation
• poor infrastructure
• poor services

briefly the definition of Appropriate Technology (A.T)

• intergrated or systems approach to developement and is concern with the satisfaction of human basic needs. to encourage a community to develop by making use of local resources of skill, finance and material.

what a.t tries to do??

• use local financial resources
• be compatible with local culture and practice
• satisfy local wishes adn needs

criteria for deciding if tech is appriotiate or not

• reasonable cost
• influance on the local culture
• promote a healty lifestyle for individual

responsible of civil engineer to Appropriate Technology

• the end of product will be good quality
• within schedule time
• least cost
• minimum risks

Scope A.T

• Food, argiculture and argicultural engineering
• water and health
• energy
• medical, building, roads and other services
• small industry
• education, training, and developement

Conclusion :-

• Relevant to the development of the local community
