A. MANUFACTURINGTECHNOLOGY FUNDAMENTALS
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
A1. demonstrate an understanding of the secondary manufacturing industries and the processes and technologies related to them;
A2. demonstrate a working knowledge of how a design process is used to develop and fabricate projects in response to challenges or problems in manufacturing technology;
A3. demonstrate a working knowledge of the processes required for making material conversions;
A4. apply relevant mathematical and scientific concepts and technological literacy and communication skills in the study of manufacturing technology.
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
A1.1 describe how materials from secondary man- ufacturing industries can be used to produce finished products (e.g., types of structural steel, hollow structural steel, wide flange steel, angle iron);
A1.2 identify and describe the key areas of opera- tion in secondary manufacturing industries (e.g., product design, production planning, product fabrication, quality control, worker safety);
A1.3 identify and describe production methods (e.g., custom, assembly line, flexible, mass production) used in the manufacturing of various products;
A1.4 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]);
A1.5 describe in detail the function, purpose, and operation of advanced machine tools and equip- ment (e.g., computer numerical control [CNC] machines, water jet cutting machine, laser equip- ment, hydro-forming machine) used in secondary manufacturing.
A2. Design Process
By the end of this course, students will:
A2.1 demonstrate how a design process can be used in all phases of project development from conception to finished product (e.g., in analysing the situation, defining the problem or need, synthe- sizing ideas, planning procedures, generating solu- tions, evaluating results for continuous product improvement);
A2.2 describe how the design process is used to improve manufacturing methods (e.g., with respect to material flow, equipment layout, tool organization and maintenance, cost savings, efficiency);
A2.3 demonstrate appropriate use of various forms of communication (e.g., brainstorming, discussion, presentations), graphic representation (e.g., sketches, technical drawings, computer-aided design [CAD]), and documentation (e.g., research reports) in the development of a project;
A2.4 demonstrate skills and attitudes needed to work as a cooperative member and/or leader of a group during the design process (e.g., effective time management, goal setting, conflict resolution, communication skills, respect for differences, evaluation of strengths and weaknesses, ability
to delegate tasks);
