Technology Education Inputs of Construction

Technology Education Process of Construction • Processes are what people do in construction. In general, construction process can be divided into designing, managing, producing, and using.

Technology Education Outputs of Construction • There are three outputs of construction: structures, new knowledge and techniques, and impacts.

Technology Education Feedback of Construction • Feedback mechanisms are used to make sure the goal of the system is met and to control or prevent negative impacts, Feedback monitors the system and makes adjustment when necessary.
