Some Topics:
1. Things, systems, procedures that could be improved.
2. Modeling with products which could be recycled.
3. New uses for sensors and controls.
4. Things which could be combined.

Major Concepts to be developed:
- There are formalized methods (systems) used to solve technological problems or make technological decisions.
- The problem-solving process includes design (planning) and implementation.
- An important part of the problem-solving process involves the generation of alternatives and the search for the optimal solution.
- Optimization of a solution normally requires trade-off in order to best meet the specified design criteria.
- Modeling techniques are useful problem-solving aids.
- Some problems cannot be solved by technology because of constraints resulting from people's values and attitudes.
