Grade 12, University/College Preparation
B4. QualityAssurance
B3. Tools,Equipment,and Manufacturing Processes
THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM, GRADES 11 AND 12 | Technological Education
B2.5 analyse the results of a production process, and modify operations, systems, and tooling as necessary.
By the end of this course, students will:
B3.1 demonstrate the skills required to safely operate machine tools and equipment (e.g., engine lathe, milling machine, drill press; equipment for gas tungsten arc welding [GTAW] and gas metal arc welding [GMAW]) in the assembly or fabri- cation of a product;
B3.2 use computers to operate and control sys- tems (e.g., for inventory, quality control, computer numerical control [CNC], programmable logic control [PLC]) in the assembly or fabrication
of a product;
B3.3 assemble and use power control and automa- tion systems to meet design and process plan- ning criteria;
B3.4 demonstrate the safe and proper use of advanced cutting processes (e.g., plasma, laser, water jet);
B3.5 demonstrate the appropriate use of advanced layout and set-up tools (e.g., sine bar, gauge blocks, bevel protractor);
B3.6 use advanced measuring tools (e.g., precision level, coordinate measuring machine, laser levels, optical comparators) to calculate measurements in both metric and US customary/British impe- rial units;
B3.7 operate computer numerical control equip- ment (e.g., CNC milling machine, CNC lathe, CNC plasma cutter) in the assembly or fabrica- tion of a product.
By the end of this course, students will:
B4.1 identify organizations that develop stand- ards regarding the conception and manufacture of consumer goods (e.g., Canadian Standards Association [CSA], International Organization
for Standardization [ISO]);
B4.2 demonstrate a working knowledge of how quality assurance is used to maintain design specifications (e.g., through quality inspection and testing procedures);
B4.3 manage and control quality using industry- standard techniques and processes (e.g., statistical process control [SPC], total quality management [TQM]);
B4.4 develop products and processes to meet customer specifications and quality control standards.
