PRINCIPLES OF MACHINING AND MANUFACTURING

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Principles of Machining and Manufacturing focuses on the concepts and practices that support careers in manufacturing, industrial maintenance, metrology, automation, industrial design, or industrial support. The course introduces the technology of machining and manufacturing processes. While working as team members, students will apply leadership and organizational skills relating to designing, producing, and maintaining a product. Emphasis is placed on quality control, codes and standards, and production systems. The course is contextual by design. The course connects what is being learned to the learner’s current experience, past knowledge, and future conduct. Laboratory exercises provide active and cooperative learning opportunities.

Manufacturing Applications III A,B

Course Description

Manufacturing Applications is a 12th grade course for students interested in entering the workforce or pursuing higher education in the manufacturing area. The course requires students to solve problems in a real world-manufacturing context. Problems address critical areas identified by industry and supported by relevant national standards. The course is structured as a series of simulation units. The simulations require students to identify problems in manufacturing simulations. All teams work on the same problem concurrently. At the end of each unit, student present team findings and recommendations to the class and to a panel of manufacturing industry representatives, which acts as the board of directors.

Credit(s):                                    2 (full year course)

Pre-requisites:                            Principles of Machining II;                                                   Algebra 1 or Algebra IT

Recommended Grade Level(s):    10th or 11th
