Computer-Integrated Manufacturing Technology. Tech Prep Competency Profile.
Lakeland Tech Prep Consortium, Kirtland, OH.
This tech prep competency profile for computer-integrated manufacturing technology begins with definitions for four occupations: manufacturing technician, quality technician, mechanical engineering technician, and computer-assisted design/drafting (CADD) technician. A chart lists competencies by unit and indicates whether entire or partial unit is required for each occupation. A second chart lists units under subunits and competencies and indicates for five levels (end of grade 10, grade 12, or Associate Degree program; on-the-job training; or lifelong learning) whether the competency is to be introduced, or reinforced, or whether the student should be competent for entry-level positions. The 39 units are as follows: communications; mathematics; science literacy; technology; employability skills; professionalism; teamwork; quality assurance; technical recording and reporting; computer literacy; workplace safety; manual drafting technology; advanced drafting technology; fundamental, intermediate, and advanced CADD; precision machining; manufacturing technology; computerized numerical control; basic materials science; welding basics; press technology; sheet metal fabrication; electrical test and measurement equipment; geometric dimensioning and tolerancing; hydraulics and pneumatics; basic electronics; electromechanical technology; programmable logic controllers; mechanical power transmission; production methods and costs; engineering mechanics; advanced engineering mechanics; computer programming; computer-based descriptive geometry; product design; design of machines and machine elements; quality; and production planning and control.
