Texas Administrative Code › Title 19 - EDUCATION › Part 2 - TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY › Chapter 130 - TEXAS ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS FOR CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION › Subchapter M - MANUFACTURING › Section 130.356 - Manufacturing Engineering Technology II (One Credit), Adopted 2015

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) General requirements. This course is
				  recommended for students in Grades 11 and 12. Prerequisite: Manufacturing
				  Engineering Technology I. Recommended prerequisite: Algebra II, Computer
				  Science I, or Physics. This course satisfies a high school mathematics
				  graduation requirement. Students shall be awarded one credit for successful
				  completion of this course.
(b)
				  Introduction.
(1) Career and technical
				  education instruction provides content aligned with challenging academic
				  standards and relevant technical knowledge and skills for students to further
				  their education and succeed in current or emerging professions.
(2) The Manufacturing Career Cluster focuses
				  on planning, managing, and performing the processing of materials into
				  intermediate or final products and related professional and technical support
				  activities such as production planning and control, maintenance, and
				  manufacturing/process engineering.
(3) In Manufacturing Engineering Technology
				  II, students will gain knowledge and skills in the application, design,
				  production, and assessment of products, services, and systems and how those
				  knowledge and skills are applied to manufacturing. The study of Manufacturing
				  Engineering Technology II will allow students to reinforce, apply, and transfer
				  academic knowledge and skills to a variety of interesting and relevant
				  activities, problems, and settings.
(4) The process standards describe ways in
				  which students are expected to engage in the content. The placement of the
				  process standards at the beginning of the knowledge and skills listed for each
				  grade and course is intentional. The process standards weave the other
				  knowledge and skills together so that students may be successful problem
				  solvers and use mathematics efficiently and effectively in daily life. The
				  process standards are integrated at every grade level and course. When
				  possible, students will apply mathematics to problems arising in everyday life,
				  society, and the workplace. Students will use a problem-solving model that
				  incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy,
				  determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the
				  problem-solving process and the reasonableness of the solution. Students will
				  select appropriate tools such as real objects, manipulatives, paper and pencil,
				  and technology and techniques such as mental math, estimation, and number sense
				  to solve problems. Students will effectively communicate mathematical ideas,
				  reasoning, and their implications using multiple representations such as
				  symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language. Students will use mathematical
				  relationships to generate solutions and make connections and predictions.
				  Students will analyze mathematical relationships to connect and communicate
				  mathematical ideas. Students will display, explain, or justify mathematical
				  ideas and arguments using precise mathematical language in written or oral
				  communication.
(5) Students are
				  encouraged to participate in extended learning experiences such as career and
				  technical student organizations and other leadership or extracurricular
				  organizations.
(6) Statements that
				  contain the word "including" reference content that must be mastered, while
				  those containing the phrase "such as" are intended as possible illustrative
				  examples.
