Unit 4: Area of Study 2 – New and emerging technologies (pages 31–32)
{"Image DocumentName": "Unit 4: Area of Study 2 \u2013 New and emerging technologies (pages 31\u201332)", "Image ImageDescription": "Outcome 2. Describe and evaluate a range of new or emerging technologies, and analyse the likely impacts of a selected innovation. This outcome has some similarities with Outcome 3 in Unit 2 in the current study design. The content of this Area of study enables students to investigate cutting edge new and emerging technological innovation, both processes and products. Students need to be able to describe how they work, and where they would be applied. They consider developments in systems engineering processes that improve sustainability, efficiency and risk management of systems. Included is the drivers of the development which may be brought about by new discoveries, new materials, technology convergence, new manufacturing methods and processes. The Internet possibly has some of the most recent and best information on these new and emerging technologies. Industrysearch.com.au is an Australian based site that has very up to date information on the latest technological developments. The CSIRO site also has some useful information. It should be remembered that the innovations that students consider should not be the same ones covered in Unit 3, Outcome 2. The process, system, technology or innovation should have applications in the field of systems engineering, and should have been developed within the last eight years preceding the year of study.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
