2. A system is a group of parts
working together to
accomplish a task.

3. Confused?
Read the following article: WHAT IS A SYSTEM?
 Make a summary of the following aspects:
1. Definition
2. Characteristics
3. Types

4. First, some vocabulary
you need to know..

5.  System:

mechanism or interconnecting network.
Which of the examples is not a system?

6.  Subsystem: a self-contained system in a larger
system.
Organize the following sub-systems:
Dgisitvee, Bkare, Itnefrcae
A
B
C

7.  Input:
what is put in, taken in, or operated on by a
process or system.
Find the input of
the following
examples:

8.  Output:something produced by a person,
machine, or industry; supplied by a device or
system.
What are these outputs?

9.  Feedback: the modification or control of a

13. UNIVERSAL SYSTEMS MODEL
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE
What you want
the system to do
INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT
Resources that go Steps that lead to a The result that comes
into the system result out of the system
FEEDBACK
Comparing the results to the objective, the
adjustments are made to the inputs and/or process

14. So, these are the elements to have a
Universal System Model:

15. Technological systems
need a variety of INPUTS to
start:

24. ACTIVITY 2:
Work in groups to
Generate a system analysis using the
following steps:

25. a. Select one of the following types of systems and create
a GOAL or OBJECTIVE for that system to accomplish.
TYPES OF SYSTEMS

26. b. Write the analysis with the following
aspects:
Characteristics: Description:
Type of system:
Objective:
Input:
Output:
Intended
Non-intended
Sub-systems
Feedback ( + and - )
Environment/context

27. c. Draw the USM (Universal System Model)
Including all the aspects identified in the previous
analysis:
Input Feedback
Process Output
*** Remember to include ALL the aspects of a SYSTEM.
*****
Write POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE effects for the OUTPUT
and FEEDBACK.

28. d. Sketch a diagram that shows all the aspects
of the USM, label each item.
PROCESS
FEEDBACK:
OUTPUT
INPUT
