Learning Standards for Mathematics, Science, and Technology at Three Levels

Standard 5-Technology - Intermediate

Students will apply technological knowledge and skills to design, construct, use, and evaluate products and systems to satisfy human and environmental needs.

Management of Technology

7. Project management is essential to ensuring that technological endeavors are profitable and that products and systems are of high quality and built safely, on schedule, and within budget.

Students:

     manage time and financial resources in a technological project.
     provide examples of products that are well (and poorly) designed and made, describe their positive and negative attributes, and suggest measures that can be implemented to monitor quality during production.
     assume leadership responsibilities within a structured group activity.

This is evident, for example, when students:

     make up and follow a project work plan, time schedule, budget, and a bill of materials.
     analyze a child's toy and describe how it might have been better made at a lower cost.
     assume leadership on a team to play an audio or video communication system, and use it for an intended purpose (e.g., to inform, educate, persuade, entertain)
