Technological Systems

What role do operational parameters play in the design and performance of technological systems?

• They have no impact

• They are critical for saving costs

• They influence redundancy and reliability

• They are primarily focused on performance indicators

This is an example of what type of system?

• Open

• Closed

What supports the overall functioning of a system and helps it achieve its intended purpose?

• Inputs

• Outputs

• Process

• Subsystems

This is an example of what type of system?

• Open

• Closed

What is the transformation within a system that converts inputs into outputs in a controlled manner called?

• Representation

• Process

• Operational parameters

• Subsystem

What do effective interfaces between subsystems ensure in a technological system?

• Cost efficiency

• Ethical considerations

• Successful system functioning

• Redundancy and reliability

How are technological systems often represented for better understanding?

• Through mathematical equations

• Using specialized languages only

• Diagrammatically with symbols

• Through verbal descriptions

What is the function of flow diagrams in system representation?

• Communicate environmental impacts only

• Establish budget constraints

• Explore and understand system relationships

• Analyze operator input variations

Why do most technological systems produce unintended outputs?

• To maximize pollution

• Sources of cost savings

• Inaccurate system design

• Unforeseen consequences

How do specialized languages impact the communication of technological systems?

• Improve cost savings

• Aid system redundancy

• Enhance system development

• Facilitate design concepts
