Technological Modelling is the Testing of Design ideas to see if they can contribute to a fit-for-purpose technological Outcome. There are two types of Technological Modelling: – Functional Modelling is the ongoing Testing of Design concepts – Prototyping is the realisation of a fully functioning Model Taken together, the two types of Modelling Provide evidence of factors that may impact on, and consequences that may result from, the development of a technological Outcome. Technological Modelling involves two kinds of Reasoning: – Functional reasoning – how to make it happen, how it is happening – Practical Reasoning – should we make it happen? should it be happening?
