It addresses the need for an accessible approach to understanding the broad range of technological devices and systems that create the modern world. Understanding technological systems offers an introduction to engineering and technology centered on the underlying structure common to all technological objects. This framework views technological systems as created using components to provide specific capabilities or functions. Components contributing well-defined functions interact with other components to create systems. Major topics include the concepts of technological function and the embedding of functional capabilities in physical components, the hierarchical nature of systems, and the clustering of related systems into technological domains. The book fills the gap between engineering science and engineering design. Explains the underlying characteristics common to all types oftechnology Describes common features of technological systems helping readers to understand technology and engineering Emphasizes the structure of technological systems and the implications for the engineering design process. 0aEngineering design.964316 0aMechanical engineering.958323 0aElectrical engineering.96558614aEngineering Design.96431624aMechanical Engineering.95832324aElectrical and Electronic Engineering.9655882 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303145440008iPrinted edition:z978303145442408iPrinted edition:z9783031454431 0aSynthesis Lectures on Engineering, Science, and Technology,x2690-032740uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-45441-7  aZDB-2-SXSC  c56657d56657
