| (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 Manufacturing Engineering Technology I, 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. Students will prepare for
success in the global economy. The study of manufacturing engineering
will allow 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.
(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) describe how teams function;
(B) explain employers' work expectations; and
(C) demonstrate knowledge of the concepts and skills
related to health and safety in the workplace as specified by appropriate
governmental regulations.
(2) The student applies software skills to manufacturing.
The student is expected to:
(A) use computer-aided design (CAD) software to complete
a design;
(B) analyze the results of product testing in a simulated
modeling environment; and
(C) fabricate a prototype design of a mechanical part.
(3) The student gains skills in writing programmable
logic controls so that a robot can work in coordination with a machine.
The student is expected to:
(A) use computer-integrated manufacturing techniques
to simulate a manufacturing process; and
(B) troubleshoot programmable logic circuit devices.
(4) The student performs functions and solves problems
in the electricity and electronics field. The student is expected
to:
(A) research the use of control devices; and
(B) demonstrate the use of control devices.
(5) The student learns skills in production and programming
of computer numerical control (CNC) operations. The student is expected
to:
(A) design a product using computer-aided manufacturing
(CAM) software for production on a CNC lathe;
(B) produce a product on the CNC lathe or a simulation;
(C) design a product using CAM software for production
on a CNC mill;
(D) produce a product on the CNC mill or a simulation;
and
(E) complete data sheets for plan, do, check, and act
forms and projects.
(6) The student knows mechanical and fluid systems.
The student is expected to:
(A) identify, describe, and demonstrate the use of
mechanical devices; and
(B) identify, describe, and demonstrate the use of
fluid devices.
(7) The student knows electrical and thermal systems.
The student is expected to:
(A) identify and describe electrical devices;
(B) demonstrate the use of electrical devices; and
(C) research the effects of heat energy and temperature
on products.
(8) The student understands quality-control systems.
The student is expected to:
(A) research and recognize industrial standards such
as International Standards Organization and Military Specifications;
(B) explain attribute and Pareto charts; and
(C) apply statistical process control.
