[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.
[WCA.9-10.7] -
Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
[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.
