A. MANUFACTURINGTECHNOLOGY FUNDAMENTALS
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
A1. demonstrate an understanding of how the design process is used as a problem-solving strategy to develop solutions to challenges or problems in manufacturing technology;
A2. demonstrate an understanding of the processes, tools, and equipment required for making material conversion;
A3. demonstrate a working knowledge of various control systems used in manufacturing processes;
A4. apply relevant mathematical skills, scientific concepts, and technological literacy and communication skills in the study of manufacturing technology.
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
A1. Design Process
By the end of this course, students will:
A1.1 demonstrate proficiency in using a design process to solve manufacturing problems;
A1.2 explain, using specific examples, how the design process has been used in manufactur- ing to develop new products, or to improve products, to meet human needs or wants (e.g., development of robotics for use in medical applications has improved surgical procedures and patient outcomes);
A1.3 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);
A1.4 use technical drawings (e.g., orthographic, pictorial, assembly drawings and sketches) as part of the design process to develop solutions to challenges or problems in manufacturing technology;
A1.5 identify organizations that develop standards in the conception and manufacture of consumer goods (e.g., Canadian Standards Association [CSA], International Organization for Standardization [ISO]), and describe how these standards affect the design process.
A2. Material Conversion
By the end of this course, students will:
A2.1 describe the principles and practical applica- tions of metallurgy (e.g., hardening, tempering, annealing);
A2.2 demonstrate a working knowledge of correct tool geometry and terminology when adapting machine tools to allow for specific manufactur- ing operations (e.g., prepare grinding tools with proper relief angles and cutting edges, use proper tool set-up for the application);
A2.3 describe in detail the function, purpose,
and operation of advanced machine tools and technologies used in manufacturing (e.g., com- puterized robot, laser applications, plasma cutting technologies, high-pressure water jet applications);
A2.4 explain material conversions such as the separation process (e.g., converting a material’s size and shape by removing excess material); the addition process (e.g., combining materials to achieve enhanced qualities, as in alloys); the process of making changes to contours (e.g., assembling materials by such means as gluing, mixing, fasten- ing, bonding, welding); and the process of changing the properties (e.g., thermal, chemical, mechanical, physical) of solid materials.
