B. MANUFACTURINGTECHNOLOGY SKILLS
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
B1. apply a design process to plan and develop solutions, products, or services in response to challenges in manufacturing technology;
B2. demonstrate an understanding of the management of a manufacturing enterprise and the interrelationships among its major areas of activity such as marketing, cost control, quality assurance, production, and inventory control;
B3. demonstrate the safe and effective use of tools, equipment, and materials in the production of a product or the development of a production process;
B4. develop and use a quality assurance system to industry standards in the production of a project.
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
B1. DesignandPlanningProcess
By the end of this course, students will:
B1.1 use reverse engineering to explain existing products or processes in terms of function;
B1.2 demonstrate proficiency in using a design process to plan and develop solutions to manu- facturing-related challenges;
B1.3 create a working drawing (e.g., orthographic, isometric, pictorial) with the use of computer- aided design that includes appropriate informa- tion (e.g., geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, section views, symbols and abbreviations) to assist in the development of solutions to manufactur- ing challenges;
B1.4 use a variety of communication techniques (e.g., multimedia presentation, electronic presenta- tion) and supporting documentation (e.g., prints, technical reports, statistical charting) to present and explain a process design and plan;
B1.5 generate product specifications through the accurate interpretation of engineering drawings, sketches, and reports;
B1.6 select suitable materials for fabricating prod- ucts based on the design specifications and the intended use of the products;
B1.7 use a design and planning process to solve a manufacturing challenge (e.g., design and build a robot or control system prototype; design an auto-
mated manufacturing system using process control charts; design solutions to create an ergonomically effective work environment).
B2. Project Management
By the end of this course, students will:
B2.1 demonstrate an understanding of manage- ment roles in the development of a product (e.g., planning: setting goals to establish course of action; organizing: structuring the job into manageable tasks; directing: assigning tasks and supervising their completion; controlling: comparing results against the original plan);
B2.2 demonstrate an understanding of the man- agement of a manufacturing enterprise (e.g., set up and manage, in collaboration with others, a small-scale manufacturing enterprise; visit and document the activities of a local manufacturing enterprise) and its major areas of activity (e.g., research and development, production, marketing, and finance);
B2.3 create, in collaboration with others, a detailed process plan (e.g., including robotic applications and other tools, machines, and equipment required) to fabricate a final product;
B2.4 create, in collaboration with others, a product or process prototype/model (e.g., rapid prototyp- ing process);
