A. MANUFACTURINGTECHNOLOGY FUNDAMENTALS
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
A1. demonstrate an understanding of the primary manufacturing industries and the processes and technologies related to them;
A2. demonstrate an understanding of how a design process is used in the planning and development of a manufacturing project;
A3. describe and demonstrate the correct use of processes required for making material conversions;
A4. demonstrate an understanding of relevant mathematical and scientific concepts and apply technological literacy and communication skills in the study of manufacturing technology.
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
A1. Primary Manufacturing Industries
By the end of this course, students will:
A1.1 describe how materials from primary manu- facturing industries (e.g., steel, plastics, lumber, paper) are used in the manufacturing industry;
A1.2 identify and describe the key areas of opera- tion in primary manufacturing industries (e.g., design, planning, fabrication, inspection, worker safety);
A1.3 describe the influence that primary manufac- turing industries have on secondary manufac- turing industries (e.g., in terms of availability of materials, cost, viability).
A2. Design Process
By the end of this course, students will:
A2.1 describe the steps of a design process used in the planning and development of a manufac- turing project (e.g., brainstorming, determining order of operations, developing flow charts, con- ducting a needs analysis, creating mock-ups) (see pp. 22–23);
A2.2 describe how various forms of communication (e.g., group discussion, brainstorming), graphic representation (e.g., sketches, technical drawings, computer-aided design [CAD]), and documentation (e.g., research reports) are used in the development of product ideas;
A2.3 identify and describe skills and attitudes needed to work as a cooperative member and/or leader of a group during the design process (e.g., effective time management, goal set- ting, communication skills, respect for differences, ability to delegate tasks);
A2.4 explain why technological concepts (e.g., aesthetics, control, environmental sustainability/ stewardship, ergonomics, fabrication, function, innovation, material, mechanism, power and energy, structure, safety, systems) are important considerations in the design process (see pp. 7–8).
A3. Material Conversion
By the end of this course, students will:
A3.1 describe and demonstrate the correct use of a variety of processes for joining materials (e.g., shielded metal arc welding [SMAW], gas metal arc welding [GMAW], brazing, soldering, riveting, spot welding, crimping, bonding);
A3.2 describe and demonstrate the correct use of a variety of processes for cutting or separating materials (e.g., using oxy-fuel torches, saws, mills, lathes, shears, plasma cutters);
A3.3 describe and demonstrate the correct use
of a variety of processes for forming materials, using various tools and equipment (e.g., hammers, box and pan brake, benders, rollers);
A3.4 demonstrate a working knowledge of basic metallurgy (e.g., flame hardening, case hardening, tempering, annealing).
