SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
D1.1 investigate and describe health, safety, and environmental laws, regulations, standards, and agencies that can affect technological design (e.g., Ontario Environmental Bill of Rights, Clean Water Act, Canadian Standards Association [CSA] standards, Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System [WHMIS]);
D1.2 demonstrate an understanding of and follow personal and environmental health and safety procedures with respect to processes, materials, tools, equipment, and facilities throughout the design process and when performing related activities (e.g., use protective equipment; set tool and equipment guards properly; ensure adequate ventilation and ergonomic seating and other work- place arrangements; follow safe operating proce- dures; keep work areas clean and organized; store materials and dispose of wastes properly);
D1.3 use protective clothing, gear, and equipment appropriately (e.g., dust mask, safety glasses).
By the end of this course, students will:
D2.1 identify a variety of career opportunities related to technological design (e.g., civil engineer, architect, mechanical engineering technician, envi- ronmental technologist, landscape designer, fashion designer, interior designer);
D2.2 identify education and training requirements (e.g., degree, diploma, certificate, apprenticeship) for specific careers related to technological design;
D2.3 identify groups and programs that are avail- able to support students who are interested in pursuing non-traditional career choices in the technological design industry (e.g., mentoring programs, virtual networking/support groups, specialized postsecondary programs, relevant trade/industry associations);
D2.4 demonstrate an understanding of and apply the Essential Skills that are important for suc- cess in the technological design industry, as identified in the Ontario Skills Passport (e.g., reading text, writing, document use, measurement and calculation);
D2.5 demonstrate an understanding of and apply the work habits that are important for success in the technological design industry, as identified in the Ontario Skills Passport (e.g., working safely, teamwork, reliability, initiative, customer service, entrepreneurship);
D2.6 maintain an up-to-date portfolio that includes pieces of work and other materials that provide evidence of their skills and achievements in technological design (e.g., work logs, skills check- list, sketches, drawings, photographs of models and prototypes, virtual models), and explain why hav- ing a current portfolio is important for career development and advancement.
