Title: Distinguish between an open- and a closed-loop system.
Course: Technology and Engineering Foundations (18 weeks) (21003-18) > Section: Understanding Systems Thinking

Distinguishing should include

- defining open-loop system as a system that operates independently of its output and that does not include feedback
- defining closed-loop system as a system that uses automatic feedback to adjust actions, allowing for correction.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is feedback?
- What are examples of each type of system?
- How would you diagnose whether an issue is related to the open-loop or the closed-loop nature of the system?
