技术设计：技术认识的形象化

技术设计是运用设计理论和方法,在创制和改造技术人工物的过程中,把思维中的技术构思规范化、定量化,把它们以标准的图纸或说明书的形式展现出来的创造性活动。技术设计是解决技术问题的关键,通过分析问题、综合取舍、实践评估等环节使得抽象的技术认识得以形象化、具体化,从而形成切实的技术问题解决方案。在不同的认识情形下,技术设计或者被当作一个黑箱,或者被当作一个白箱,或者被当作一个系统,这三种不同的设计方式分别反映出技术设计的创造性、合理性和过程控制。

Technology Design:Visualization of Technological Cognition

The essence of technology design is a creative activity that engineers normalize and quantify the technology conception in mind and express them in standard drawings or specification with the application of theories and methods of design in the process of creating and modifying technology artifact.Meanwhile,technology design is also the key to solving technology problems,in which engineers can visualize and embody abstract technological cognition through stages such as analyzing problems,synthesizing trade-offs,practical assessment,and finally formulate practical so-lutions to technology problem.In different cognition situations,technology design is regarded as a black-box,or a white-box,or a system,which correspondingly reflects the creativity,rationality and process control of technology design.
