Science and Technology/Engineering | Grade : High School
Discipline - Technology/Engineering
Core Idea - Materials, Tools, and Manufacturing
[HS.ETS.2.2] - Explain how computers and robots can be used at different stages of a manufacturing system, typically for jobs that are repetitive, very small, or very dangerous. Clarification Statement: Examples of stages include design, testing, production, and quality control.
[WCA.9-10.8] -
When conducting research, gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the usefulness of each source in answering the research question; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and following a standard format for citation.
[HS.ETS.2.1] -
Determine the best application of manufacturing processes to create parts of desired shape, size, and finish based on available resources and safety.
Clarification Statement: Examples of processes can include forming (molding of plastics, casting of metals, shaping, rolling, forging, and stamping), machining (cutting and milling), conditioning (thermal, mechanical, and chemical processes), and finishing. State Assessment Boundary: Specific manufacturing machines are not expected in state assessment.
[HS.ETS.2.3] -
Compare the costs and benefits of custom versus mass production based on qualities of the desired product, the cost of each unit to produce, and the number of units needed.
