SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
C1. TechnologyandtheEnvironment
By the end of this course, students will:
C1.1 identify potentially harmful consequences
of manufacturing activities for the environment (e.g., waste disposal, greenhouse gas emissions, water and energy consumption, the depletion of non-renewable resources), and formulate alterna- tives to reduce the severity of these consequences;
C1.2 assess and compare energy sources (e.g., renewable – water, wind, solar, geothermal; non- renewable – coal, oil and gas, nuclear) used in manufacturing, and identify ways of increasing environmentally friendly energy use;
C1.3 assess the carbon footprint of a manufactured product;
C1.4 explain the benefits of developing an envi- ronmentally friendly product (e.g., a windmill that develops energy from wind power) and assess its potential effectiveness.
C2. TechnologyandSociety
By the end of this course, students will:
C2.1 explain how the globalization of the manu- facturing industry affects the economy of the local community, the province of Ontario, and Canada as a whole;
C2.2 explain the importance of demographics, geography, and strategic plant location as fac- tors to be considered in setting up a successful manufacturing facility, and describe possible short-term and/or long-term societal implications locally and beyond (e.g., regional or provincial planning issues, effects on the indigenous popula- tion, ecosystem and/or habitat considerations);
C2.3 assess the effects of emerging manufacturing technology industries on culture and society from various perspectives (e.g., safety, technical, financial, business).
C1. demonstrate an understanding of ways in which the manufacturing industry affects the environment, and make informed decisions based on this understanding;
C2. assess the impact of the globalization of the manufacturing industry on society at the local, provincial, and national levels.
