B. TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN SKILLS OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
B1. use appropriate tools and strategies to research, plan, and organize design projects that have environmentally sound designs and production processes;
B2. apply appropriate methods for generating and graphically representing design ideas and solutions;
B3. construct models and prototypes using a variety of techniques, tools, and materials, and assess
these models and prototypes in terms of the design criteria;
B4. report on the progress, environmental rationale, and results of the design process, using appropriate formats and styles.
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
B1.1 gather and summarize relevant information for developing various designs (e.g., Canadian Standards Association [CSA] publications, Ontario Building Code, environmental criteria);
B1.2 investigate and describe economic and envi- ronmental factors that should be considered during the design process;
B1.3 select and apply effective planning and orga- nizational tools and strategies (e.g., sequence chart, time sheet, swatch book, checklists, file man- agement) to develop environmentally sound design projects.
By the end of this course, students will:
B2.1 create freehand sketches showing key fea- tures (e.g., shapes, texture, protrusions, unusual features, relationships among parts) to help devel- op initial concepts for a design project;
B2.2 apply mathematical and scientific concepts and skills as required in the course of designing various products and/or processes;
B2.3 produce hand-drafted and/or computer- based technical drawings (e.g., elevation, plan, schematic, exploded view) of design solutions, using common drafting standards and conven- tions (e.g., format, line type and weight, symbols).
By the end of this course, students will:
B3.1 use appropriate tools, equipment, and mate- rials to create design models and prototypes (e.g., tools: rotary tool, bandsaw, fabric shears, computer-aided design [CAD] software; equipment: computer, sewing machine; materials: paper, wax, clay, wood, metals, composites, plastics, cardboard, starch, textiles);
B3.2 use appropriate metric and imperial measur- ing tools, scales (e.g., metric: 1:10, 1 cm:1 m
or 1:100, 1:500; imperial: 1/2":1' or 1:24), and proportion techniques when creating a model or prototype;
B3.3 test models and/or prototypes, and evaluate designs using student-generated criteria
(e.g., by-products, waste, energy consumption, biodegradability, reliability, durability).
