| (a) General requirements. This course is recommended
for students in Grades 10-12. 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 I, students 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
I 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.
(1) The student demonstrates professional standards/employability
skills as required by business and industry. The student is expected
to:
(A) demonstrate skills related to health and safety
in the workplace as specified by appropriate governmental regulations;
(B) demonstrate the standards required in the workplace
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; and
(E) use time-management techniques to develop work
schedules.
(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; and
(C) select algebraic and geometric principles and formulas
required for precision measuring operations.
(3) The student differentiates between 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) demonstrate an understanding of the 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) research the modern materials used in manufacturing;
and
(E) perform varied measurements, including precision
measurements.
(4) The student investigates emerging and innovative
applications of technology in engineering. The student is expected
to:
(A) report on innovative applications of technology
in engineering;
(B) experiment with new technologies; and
(C) experiment with different manufacturing materials
such as plastic, composites, fiberglass, stone, and wood.
(5) The student manufactures products or systems using
the appropriate tools, equipment, machines, materials, and technical
processes. The student is expected to:
(A) analyze the processes needed to complete a project
such as initiate, plan, execute, monitor and control, and close; and
(B) use a variety of equipment and machines to produce
an item to specification.
(6) The student practices safe work habits. The student
is expected to:
(A) master safety tests developed from Occupational
Safety and Health Administration regulations;
(B) analyze hazardous materials;
(C) dispose of hazardous materials safely; and
(D) store all materials correctly.
(7) The student participates in a mass manufacturing
project. The student is expected to:
(A) participate in the manufacturing of a mass produced
project; and
(B) develop a method to check and maintain quality
control throughout the manufacturing process.
(8) The student identifies the factors that influence
the cost of an item or service. The student is expected to:
(A) develop a budget for a project; and
(B) determine the most effective strategies to minimize
costs.
(9) The student describes the relationship between
manufacturing and marketing. The student is expected to:
(A) prepare a marketing plan for a product;
(B) analyze the effect of customer satisfaction on
the image of a product; and
(C) analyze how customer demands influence the design
of an object.
(10) The student applies communication, mathematics,
and science knowledge and skills to manufacturing activities. The
student is expected to:
(A) demonstrate communication techniques consistent
with industry standards;
(B) locate relevant information needed to solve problems;
(C) apply mathematics concepts to solve manufacturing
problems;
