Grade 12, College Preparation
A3. Control Systems
A4. Mathematics,Science,and Technological Literacy
THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM, GRADES 11 AND 12 | Technological Education
By the end of this course, students will:
A3.1 demonstrate a working knowledge of how to program computer numerical control (CNC) equipment using computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software;
A3.2 demonstrate the correct use of a variety of power and control systems (e.g., electronic, pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical systems);
A3.3 demonstrate the proper use of various control software programs used in manufacturing proc- esses (e.g., programmable logic control [PLC], CNC, inventory control software).
By the end of this course, students will:
A4.1 apply knowledge of scientific laws (e.g., Newton’s laws of motion, Boyle’s law, Ohm’s law, Pascal’s law) related to power transmission and mechanical mechanisms (e.g., hydraulics, pneu- matics, gears, pulleys, levers, couplings) as appro- priate during project planning and fabrication;
A4.2 apply mathematical and technological litera- cy skills to interpret product specifications (e.g., volume, area, density/weight, material require- ments, scrap factor) accurately from engineering drawings;
A4.3 demonstrate effective use of research skills (e.g., obtaining and evaluating information from technical documents and manufacturing resources) and technological literacy and communication skills (e.g., log note writing, record keeping, data recording, memo writing, schedule creation) to plan and document work on a manufacturing project;
A4.4 correctly communicate the information need- ed to plan and prepare for the fabrication process (e.g., order of operations, availability of tools, parts and equipment required, scheduling requirements, time requirements), applying relevant technolog- ical literacy skills;
A4.5 estimate the cost of a project, using the appropriate resources (e.g., material costs, bill of material, estimated labour costs) and relevant mathematical skills.
