Curricular Competencies

Students are expected to be able to do the following:

Applied Design

Understanding context
  • Engage in a period of research
    research
    may include traditional cultural knowledge and approaches of First Peoples and others, secondary sources, collective pools of knowledge in communities and collaborative atmospheres 
    and empathetic observation
    empathetic observation
    may include experiences; traditional cultural knowledge and approaches of First Peoples and those of other cultures; places, including the land and its natural resources and analogous settings; people, including users, experts, and thought leaders 
Defining
  • Identify potential users and relevant contextual factors
  • Identify criteria for success, intended impact, and any constraints
    constraints
    limiting factors such as task or user requirements, materials, expense, environmental impact 
  • Determine whether activity is collaborative or self-directed
Ideating
  • Screen ideas against criteria and constraints
  • Critically analyze and prioritize competing factors
    factors
    including social, ethical, and sustainability 
    to meet community needs for preferred futures
  • Maintain an open mind about potentially viable ideas
Prototyping
  • Evaluate a variety of materials for effective use and potential for reuse, recycling, and biodegradability
  • Make changes to tools, materials, and procedures as needed
Testing
  • Identify sources of feedback
    sources of feedback
    may include First Nations, Métis, or Inuit community experts; keepers of other traditional cultural knowledge and approaches; peers, users, and other experts 
  • Develop an appropriate test
    appropriate test
    consider conditions, number of trials 
  • Conduct the test, collect and compile data, evaluate data, and decide on changes
  • Iterate the design idea
Making
  • Identify and use appropriate tools, technologies
    technologies
    tools that extend human capabilities 
    , materials, and processes
  • Make a step-by-step plan and carry it out, making changes as needed
  • Use materials in ways that minimize waste
Sharing
  • Decide on how and with whom to share
    share
    may include showing to others or use by others 
      product
    product
    for example, a physical product, process, system, service 
    and processes
  • Demonstrate product to users and critically evaluate its success

Applied Skills

Demonstrate and document an awareness of precautionary and emergency safety procedures
Develop competency and proficiency in skills at various levels involving manual dexterity, mechanics, and maintenance
Identify the skills needed, individually or collaboratively, in relation to specific projects, and develop and refine them

Applied Technologies

Choose, adapt, and if necessary learn more about appropriate tools and technologies to use for tasks
Evaluate impacts
impacts
personal, social, and environmental 
, including unintended negative consequences, of choices made about technology use
Evaluate the influences of land, natural resources, and culture on the development and use of tools and technologies

Content

Students are expected to know the following:
internal and external combustion
components of a combustion engine
non-fuel power systems
disassembly and assembly sequences
engine terminology
engine terminology
relating to fundamentals of operation; classification and types 
lubrication
lubrication
for example, oil, grease 
and antifriction
antifriction
for example, bearings, bushings 
hydraulic and pneumatic systems
transfer and conversion of energy
hand tools and power tools specific to mechanical repair and maintenance
torques and tolerances for specific operations
fasteners and fittings
energy transmission and conversion systems
conversion systems
for example, gear, sprocket, pulley, chain, cable 
technologies that reduce energy use and waste
historical and potential future impact of energy, power, and transportation systems on society and the environment
alternate energy sources
alternate energy sources
for example, wind, solar, geothermal 
Note: Some of the learning standards in the PHE curriculum address topics that some students and their parents or guardians may feel more comfortable addressing at home. Refer to ministry policy regarding opting for alternative delivery.
