- 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??
- improve the quality of live of people
- maximize the use of renewable resources
- to create work place where the people now live
A.T to satisfy the following :-
- use local skill
- use local material
- 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
- financial, culture, religious, social and environment
- improved the way of living
- economic
