Production Technology 11 & 12

​

 

Description:

Production Technology 11 and 12 are an introduction to the production process based on custom

production. Students will solve real world problems in both the production and computer labs, paralleling today’s commercial production. This will give students the opportunity to take part in product planning, product design, product fabrication, product testing, and product analysis.

Impact of production on society, individuals, and the environment will also be discussed.

By the end of the course students will have had the opportunity to learn about and use various types of hand and power tools, as well as several production machines used in industry today. Students will also be given time to further develop any specialty skills that interest them.

 

Course Objectives:

By the end of the course students understand:

• How to work as an individual and as a team member.

• How to develop and utilize problem solving techniques.

• How to work safely and efficiently in the production lab.

• Many different careers in production technology.

• The different materials used in production.

• How to work with in a budget

 

Course Outcomes:

By the end of the course students will be able to demonstrate and understanding of production technology. They will be able to demonstrate:

• An understanding of the function of production technology in historical contexts and modern society.

• The ability to analyze, critique, and evaluate the application and outputs of a variety of production technology methods.

• An understanding of the major resources used for production.

• An understanding of the impact of production technology on individuals, society, and the environment.

• Consideration of others during independent and collaborative activities.

• An understanding of workplace health and safety requirements.

 

Expectations:

Production Technology 11 and 12 are hands-on courses with the majority of work done in class. Therefore, students are expected to be in class, be on time, and be prepared to work.
