A

COURSE OF STUDY

FOR

TEC654 AUTO MECHANICS II

APPROVED BY THE

BOARD OF EDUCATION

January 24, 2013 Developed: July 1995 Revised: December 2012


STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Auto Mechanics II is the second-year level in a sequence of courses designed to emphasize the tasks, operations, and skills needed to repair automobiles and small trucks. Students will refine their skills, and develop their understanding of the materials and equipment used by auto mechanics in the field. They will become proficient in the use of measuring instruments, interpreting sketches, utilizing service manuals and Internet resources, and performing automotive repairs. Auto Mechanics II will emphasize the major components of the automobile; such as, the body frame, body measurement, and frame types. The students will concentrate their efforts on five major areas; namely, the lubricating, cooling, fuel, ignition, and electrical systems. They will explore the types of power train arrangements, and the components that are part of the chassis of an automobile. Separately we assess students to gauge progress and inform instruction. Benchmark assessments for students in grades 9 through 12 are administered in the form of a midterm and final exam for full year courses. *Special Note: Only final exams are administered at the end of quarter courses and semester

RATIONALE Auto Mechanics II offers the students a unique opportunity to experience firsthand the operation of an automobile. Safety will be consistently emphasized. Proper selection and utilization of tools and machinery will be carefully monitored. Career exploration will be addressed throughout the course, and students will have many opportunities to talk to professionals currently working in the field. The Auto Mechanics II program will utilize an inquiry-based, problem-solving approach. Students who have become acquainted with the basic operations of each system will now become more involved in diagnostic procedures, cost analyses, actual repair processes; while closely following current industry practices and standards. The course provides the students with authentic, problem-solving experiences that are encountered in the real world each day. This course of study is aligned with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for 21st Century Life and Careers and the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Technology, as well as the Common Core English Language Arts Standards for Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects.


THE LIVING CURRICULUM Curriculum guides are designed to be working documents. Teachers are encouraged to make notes in the margins. Written comments can serve as the basis for future revisions. In addition, the teachers and administrators are invited to discuss elements of the guides as implemented in the classroom and to work collaboratively to develop recommendations for curriculum reforms as needed.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

During the development of this course of study, particular attention was paid to material that might discriminate on the basis of sex, race, religion, national origin, or creed. Every effort has been made to uphold both the letter and spirit of affirmative action mandates as applied to the content, the texts and the instruction inherent in this course.

MODIFICATIONS AND ADAPTATIONS

For guidelines on how to modify and adapt curricula to best meet the needs of all students, instructional staff should refer to the Curriculum Modifications and Adaptations included as an Appendix in this curriculum. Instructional staff of students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) must adhere to the recommended modifications outlined in each individual plan.


GENERAL GOALS The students will: 1. develop an in-depth understanding of the practices and processes utilized in a real-world automotive shop. 2. develop a deeper understanding of how each tool and piece of equipment might be safely utilized to maximize efficiency and productivity. 3. determine how to effectively manage and care for automotive tools and machinery. 4. develop an appreciation and knowledge of career opportunities, as well as internship programs that might lead to future employment. 5. develop an in-depth, working understanding of the major functioning systems found in an automobile. 6. explain and demonstrate how to diagnose, repair, and install each component of the major functioning systems independently.


GENERAL PERSONAL SAFETY

In the automotive classroom, accident prevention must be included in the performance of every task, and safety instruction must be an integral part of the overall program. The students must have a thorough knowledge of the potential hazards, exercise prudent care and foresight, and use of common sense. Accident prevention must be included in the performance of every task, and safety instruction must be an integral part of the overall program. 1. High-speed devices such as mechanical rotators, electric drills, fans, etc. should never be operated with protective shields removed or opened.

Safety glasses must be worn. 2. Cleanliness and order should be maintained.

a. Extraneous objects should be moved from work surface. Accidents tend to be intensified by clutter. b. Students should be required to thoroughly wash their hands with soap and water following a work session.

3. There are several devices for protecting students and instructors against the corrosive or toxic effects of chemical reagents.

a. Protective clothing should be worn by all students when working with corrosive reagents. b. Loose clothing is another potential hazard in the shop and is less controllable than tighter fitting clothing.

4. Demonstrations involving explosive or potentially explosive substances must be so arranged as to shield everyone from any danger. Use the

safety shield to protect observers and the face shield and safety glasses to protect the demonstrators. Size of apparatus and quantities of reagents used in demonstration should be consistent with safe practice.

5. All persons performing shop activities involving hazards to the eyes must wear approved eye protection devices. All persons in dangerous

proximity must likewise be equipped. 6. Sandals and open-toe shoes should not be permitted in the auto shop areas.

SAMPLE AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT

Auto Mechanics II Early one morning while you are eating your breakfast you hear the phone ring. You answer it and learn that it is your neighbor who is very concerned about a worsening vibration in her vehicle. She explains that this problem is now consistently occurring each time she applies her foot on the brake. You remember that she is living on a fixed income, and suggest that she bring the car into the auto shop at the high school. Task:

Perform a visual inspection of the brake system to evaluate the possible causes(s) for the malfunction, and utilize suggested technology resources where applicable. You will be expected to develop a list of possibilities, and then refine the list based on the visual inspection. Next, you will demonstrate orally and in writing, the specific procedures and tests that you plan to employ, as well as provide a justification and rationale for each. You will then contact the client and inform her of what the tests determined, along with cost of the materials needed for the repair. Once the work is completed, a written report will be prepared and contain a detailed summary of the work performed on the car. An explanation of how you determined what needed to be done to remedy the car’s problem(s) must also be included. You will be expected to perform all the necessary repairs and correct the problem so that the car functions in a safe and efficient manner.
