Performance Indicators:
Performance Indicators: 1. Demonstrate correct and safe method to using manufacturing equipment.
2. Design and construct the jigs and fixtures necessary for a manufacturing process.
3. Work as a part of a team in creating an assembly line.
4. Design a wood product capable of being manufactured.
Assessment
:
Acceptable Performance Level
Local Exams
70% or higher
Participation in manufacturing process
90% of class time or more
Manufacturing Projects
70% or higher
Scope: Students will get an introduction to the manufacturing industry through class work and projects. All projects will be done as a class as it is the nature of manufacturing to use an assembly line process. The inputs, processes, and outputs of manufacturing will be discussed and demonstrated in class. Students will also take a look at current manufacturing industry standards and practices. Product design, assembly line design, and quality control are also practiced in class.
