(a) General requirements. This course is recommended
for students in Grades 11 and 12. Prerequisite: Diversified Manufacturing
I. Recommended prerequisite: Algebra I. Students shall be awarded
one credit for successful completion of this course.
(b) Introduction.
(1) Career and technical education instruction provides
content aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant technical
knowledge and skills for students to further their education and succeed
in current or emerging professions.
(2) The Manufacturing Career Cluster focuses on planning,
managing, and performing the processing of materials into intermediate
or final products and related professional and technical support
activities such as production planning and control, maintenance, and
manufacturing/process engineering.
(3) In Diversified Manufacturing II, students will
gain knowledge and skills in the application, design, production,
and assessment of products, services, and systems and how those knowledge
and skills are applied to manufacturing. The study of manufacturing
systems allows students to reinforce, apply, and transfer academic
knowledge and skills to a variety of interesting and relevant activities,
problems, and settings in a manufacturing setting. Diversified Manufacturing
II allows students the opportunity to understand the process of mass
production by using a wide variety of materials and manufacturing
techniques. Knowledge about career opportunities, requirements, and
expectations and the development of skills prepare students for workplace
success.
(4) Students are encouraged to participate in extended
learning experiences such as career and technical student organizations
and other leadership or extracurricular organizations.
(5) Statements that contain the word "including" reference
content that must be mastered, while those containing the phrase "such
as" are intended as possible illustrative examples.
(c) Knowledge and skills.

such as interviewing skills, flexibility, willingness to learn new
skills and acquire knowledge, self-discipline, self-worth, positive
attitude, and integrity in a work situation;
(C) use teamwork to solve problems;
(D) identify employers' work expectations;
(E) use time-management techniques to develop work
schedules;
(F) explore advanced knowledge and skills required
for postsecondary education; and
(G) identify employers' expectations to foster positive
customer satisfaction.
(2) The student applies academic skills to the requirements
of manufacturing. The student is expected to:
(A) demonstrate effective oral and written communication
skills with individuals from varied cultures, including fellow workers,
management, and customers;
(B) interpret engineering drawings, charts, diagrams,
and welding symbols;
(C) select algebraic and geometric principles and formulas
required for precision measuring operations;
(D) develop the information needed to mass produce
a simple project such as flow charts, schedules, equipment lists,
and material lists; and
(E) explore the use of jigs and fixtures in mass production.
(3) The student differentiates among the technical
concepts that form the knowledge and skills of manufacturing. The
student is expected to:
(A) use tools and equipment commonly employed in manufacturing
in a safe manner;
(B) adhere to safety regulations for the different
types of manufacturing equipment such as cutting, abrasive, boring,
turning, shaping, and forming tools;
(C) execute procedures using the different types of
manufacturing equipment such as cutting, abrasive, boring, turning,
shaping, and forming tools;
(D) perform varied measurements, including precision
measurements;
(E) design and develop the jigs and fixtures for a
simple four (or fewer) part product; and
(F) participate in the production run off of the product.
(4) The student learns skills in production and programming
of computer numerical control (CNC) operations. The student is expected
to:
(A) develop a CNC program using a computer-aided manufacturing
(CAM) program; and
(B) execute the CNC program to machine a product or
run a simulation of the program.
(5) The student investigates emerging and innovative
applications of technology in manufacturing. The student is expected
to:
(A) research innovative technologies in manufacturing;
and
(B) experiment with different manufacturing materials
such as plastic, composites, fiberglass, stone, and wood.
(6) The student manufactures products or systems using
the appropriate tools, equipment, machines, materials, and technical
processes. The student is expected to:
(A) analyze engineering properties such as the processes
needed to complete a project;
(B) analyze the processes needed to complete a project
such as initiate, plan, execute, monitor and control, and close; and
(C) use a variety of tools and equipment to produce
a product to specification.
(7) The student practices safe work habits. The student
is expected to:
(A) master safety tests based on Occupational Safety
and Health Administration regulations;
(B) analyze hazardous materials;
(C) dispose of hazardous materials; and
(D) store all materials safely.
(8) The student participates in the manufacturing of
a mass-produced product. The student is expected to:
(A) participate in the manufacturing of products; and
(B) develop a method to check and maintain quality
control throughout the manufacturing process.
(9) The student identifies the factors that influence
the cost of an item. The student is expected to:
(A) calculate costs associated with production of
a mass-produced product; and
(B) re-examine the manufacturing process to maximize
efficiency and minimize costs without compromising the integrity and
marketability of the product.
(10) The student describes the relationship between
manufacturing and marketing. The student is expected to:
