1. One of the ways in which society impacts technology is through government regulations. Describe how government regulations have both positive and negative impacts on technology. 2. A client engages an engineering firm to develop environmentally-friendly
packaging for the sports drink that they manufacture. What questions would you
ask to define and delimit the problem?

3. Why is it useful for engineers to use a decision matrix when designing solutions to
environmental problems?

Explanation:

1. What are negative effects of technology?

You're losing sleep or skipping physical activities due to technology use. It's causing you stress or anxiety, or you're noticing physical side effects, such as tension headaches, eye strain, muscle pain, or overuse injuries.

Positives:

Technology, which brings together tools to promote development, use and information exchange, has as its main objective of making tasks easier and the solving of many problems of mankind. When technology progresses and makes our lives even more convenient, we must stress how beneficial it is to our lives

2. Don't know

3. Decision Matrix Method. Decision matrix techniques are used to define attributes, weigh them, and appropriately sum the weighted attributes to give a relative ranking among design alternatives.
