Course Description<= /span>

This course is designed to give students = an understanding of electronic fuel injection and the use of computer controls= in today's automobiles. The course will present EFI theory and component opera= tion as well as automotive computer operation, sensor inputs and actuator output= s. Diagnosis and testing of these systems will be discussed and practiced. Similarities and differences of various OEM systems will be discussed.

Major Topics Covered

The course will present new information about fuel injection and comput= er systems including input sensors and output actuators. Testing of the systems will be stressed in the lab.

Basic Competencies to be developed include:

Knowledge of electronic fuel systems components and service

· = Knowledge of Sensor Inputs

· = Knowledge of Control Outputs

· = Knowledge of Computer Functions

· = Accessing Computer Codes

· = Troubleshooting Procedures

Prerequisites

AUT6= 06, AUT116, AUT802,

Evaluation

Final grade will be based on six areas:

Final Test...............̷= 0;……...............10%

Quiz scores...........…&= #8230;…………….....25%<= /span>

Employee Characteristics…= ;…….10%

Performance Tests..…………….....30%

Summaries..............…= ………….….......5%

Lab Logs & Worksheets.....= ........20%

No unit tests will be g= iven in this course.

PERFORMANCE TEST: Each performance test will test a skill or procedure learned in the lab. Perform= ance tests CAN NOT be retaken!

QUIZZES: A q= uiz may be given every other day. A missed quiz cannot be made up. Each student may= be required to write 5 quiz questions as part of their quiz score. These are d= ue before the quiz and will not be accepted late. The lowest quiz score will be dropped.

EMPLOYEE CHARACTERISTICS: Students will receive a weekly grade based on their demonstration of basic employee characteristics expected by employers. These include Dependability, Punctuality, Productivity, Teamwork, Communication, Safety, and Cleanup. The instructor will rate each characteristic weekly on= the following scale:

0 – Unacceptable, does not meet minimum requirements

&n= bsp; 2 - Consistently meets minimum requirements

&n= bsp; 3 - Occasionally exceeds minimum requirements

&= nbsp; 4 - Consistently exceeds minimum requirements

LAB LOGS: A weekly lab log will be kept= by each student. The student will record his/her lab activity for the week.&= nbsp; A weekly grade will be determined from the student’s log. Any lab sheets will be turned in w= ith the log. The log must be turned in two school days after the = last lab period for the week. A lo= g not turned in on time will result in a zero for the weekly lab grade.

The log entry must include the following: Name, Day & Date, Descr= iption of the lab activity for each day (minimum of five<= span style=3D'font-family:"Comic Sans MS";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> sentences), Five things learned that week, Difficulties experienced that week = and Description of the best part of the lab activity for the week.=

FINAL TEST:<= /span> Stu= dents will take a comprehensive final test during the last week of the course.

SUMMARIES: Each student will be required to read articles about Electronics and/or Driveability= in today's automobiles. The articles should come from trade journals and magazines. A one-paragraph summary will be turned in for each article. The summary must include article title, author, publication = name and date. One summary will be collected each week on Thursday. Summaries will not be accepted 10 minutes after class starts the day they a= re due, except in cases of absence.

Final Grading Scale:

A …90 - 100%

B….80 - 89% =

C… 70 - 79% =

D….60 - 69% =

F….59% or below =

The following are non-negotiable expectations of classroom and lab conduct.

Class members will attend class on time. The instructor reserves the right to refuse admittance to anyone who arrives late for class! (Ten minutes g= race for students and instructor on rare occasions.)
Class members will refrain from negative comments about others in the class.=
Class members will refrain from disrupting the learning of others by theirs words and behavior.
Class members will adhere to all safety policies.
Cell phones will not ring or be used for conversation during classroom or l= ab sessions.
Class members will refrain from using tobacco products during classroom or l= ab sessions.
Class members will refrain from sleeping in class. Sleep at home, be alert in class!
Class members will endeavor to conduct themselves in a professional manner.<= o:p>

POLICIES ON ACADEMIC DISHONESTY= CAN BE FOUND IN THE EICCD STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT PUBLISHED IN THE STUDENT HANDBOOK.

Benefits of taking this class

Students who successfully complete this course will have increased their understanding of how fuel injection systems and computer control systems function. They will also learn how to test the components of the systems.

Study Tips
To be successful students must complete the assignments gi= ven them. Working in small groups of two will increase the learning in the lab.=

Academic Accommodation
