• Students will demonstrate understanding of the four career pathways and explore one pathway in depth by designing and fabricating a product in that pathway. As the second course in the sequence, the products in this course will allow for greater complexity and personalization in focus. • Students will demonstrate understanding of the materials (properties and selection) and processes used in product fabrication. • Students will demonstrate the ability to cor- rectly program/code CNC and 3D printing equipment. • Students will demonstrate the safety atti- tudes and procedures required in the use of fabrication materials and equipment. • Students will experience and be able to articulate the critical attributes of manufac- turing careers needed to be successful in MN businesses and industries. Instructional Focus: • This course will focus instruction on ad- vancing students’ knowledge and skills in the design and fabrication of products. Students will be allowed to choose the career pathway of focus. • Students will also be expected to integrate STEM and other content knowledge into their product design and fabrication. • This is an “application-based course” with students demonstrating real-world applica- tion of knowledge and skills in the use of high-tech cutting-edge equipment, soft- ware and materials.
