The history of technical developments can help pupils appreciate the relationship between design and technology, science, society and the economy. This article looks at the earliest practical application of electricity – the electric telegraph.

My Dad's very predictable. Every day, before he goes to work, he goes out to check the thermometer hung in the back garden. It registers the maximum and minimum temperatures since its last reset – which is every morning just after he's read it. Then he comes back in and tells us what the values imply for today's weather, his plants, the stock market, global warming… So I thought I'd have a go at building him an electronic equivalent, a box that displays the highest and lowest temperatures it's been exposed to. He could have it for Christmas.

This is the first of a series of three articles looking at the interaction of product and electronics design. This introductory article looks at the general issues and includes examples of good design integration. Later articles will look at the details of how this can be achieved in schools.

The system described in Part I of this article (“Remote control gets closer”, Spring 2006 issue of Electronics Education) is suitable when we only need to switch one thing on or off remotely, but if we need to control several output devices or to respond to several input signals, then a more sophisticated approach is needed.

Electronics is increasingly becoming embedded in the fabric of our material and social lives. The electronics industry underpins almost all other business activity, including product and service development, product manufacture, and service provision. So all children, in a rounded educational experience, should have some exposure to how the technical world they live in is constructed and operated.

My granny has a computer. She's had it for ages, as long as I can remember. It's so old that it isn't connected to the Internet, but that doesn't matter because she only uses it to write stories about our family. I love them. How she and grandpa got together, the lives of their grandparents… it's brilliant. Anyway, one day her printer stopped working and we decided to buy a new one. The ink jets were probably clogged and replacing them would have set her back £50; about the price of a new printer. She'd had the printer for five years and it didn't owe her anything. So we took her to the usual warehouse outlets to get another one – and found that all of the modern printers require a USB port. Unfortunately, her computer is so old that it doesn't have a USB port, just a parallel port (for the printer) and a serial port (for the mouse). Big problem.

Real-PCB is a schools level PCB layout software, from the makers of Easy-PC and distributed by Crocodile Clips. It is generally very user-friendly and good value for money. It works well, is reasonably easy to navigate and largely does what it says on the tin.

The authors continue to explore making design decisions in electronics. This article is the fourth in a series that will examine a range of electronic processing functions and discuss the alternative approaches that pupils and teachers can adopt when making design decisions. The articles are intended to make you stop and think about the advantages and disadvantages of those design decisions and their alternatives.
