(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:
