Computerized Engine Controls, 6th Ed. - Dick H. King

Automotive Engine Performance, J. Halderman

Engine Performance III Student Activity Manual 2006 Ed. Hanan

Course Description

The course will present a= utomotive emissions, emission control devices and 5-gas analysis. This course is desi= gned to help the student improve his/her ability to diagnose driveability proble= ms. Diagnosis and testing will be discussed and practiced.

Major Topics Covered

The course will prese= nt new information about automotive emissions, emission control devices and 4- and 5-gas exhaust analysis. A review of fuel, ignition and computer system testing will also be included.=

Basic Competencies to be developed include:

Knowledge of Tailpipe Emissions

Knowledge of Emission= Control Devices

Knowledge of OBD II c= oncepts

Development of a Basic Driveability Diagnostic Routine

Use of Troubleshootin= g Guides or Charts

Prerequisites

AUT606, AUT115, AUT80= 2, AUT811

Attendance/Participation

See Bel= ow

Evaluatio= n

Final gra= de will be based on six areas:

PERFORMANCE TESTS (30%): Performance tests will test a skill or procedure learned in the lab. Performance tests CAN NOT be retaken!<= /p>

DISCUSSION PAPERS & CASE STUDIES (20%): Each student will be required to help prepare a discussion paper for each discussion topic. The paper will consist of a set of questions from the instructor and the students’ answers. The answers will be compiled by small groups and t= hen presented to the class. The answers will be a springboard for the class discussion.

Small groups will be = assigned driveability case studies to discuss. The case studies will help to improve= the students’ diagnostic and critical thinking skills. Each student will = bring his/her recommendations and conclusions to the class meeting. Each group wi= ll review the ideas of the group’s members and present their recommendat= ions and/or solutions to the class for further discussion. Two-thirds of the student’s grade in this category will be based on what is prepared and brought to class, one-third will be based on the group’s compiled findings.

Group members will be= given opportunity to earn extra credit in this category by answering questions related to the discussion paper topic.

EMPLOYEE CHARACTERISTICS (15%): Students will receive a weekly grade based on their demonstration of basic employee characteristics expect= ed by employers. These include Dependability, Punctuality, Teamwork, Communication, Safety, and Cleanup. The instructor will rate each characteristic weekly on a scale of 0 to 4:=

0 - Unacceptable

= &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; = 1 - Occasionally meets minimum requirements

= &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; = 2 - Consistently meets minimum requirements

= &nb= sp; = &nb= sp; = 3 - Occasionally exceeds minimum requirements

4 - Consistently exceeds minimum requirements

LAB LOGS (10%): A weekly lab log will be kept by each student. = The student will record his/her lab activity for the week. The log must = be turned in by 3:00pm, two school days after the last lab period for the week. A log not turned in will result in a zero for the weekly lab grade.

The log entry must include the following: Name, Days & Dates, Description of the lab activities (minimum of 5 sentences per day), Five things learned that week, Difficulties experienced that week and Description of the best pa= rt of the week.

LAB WORK SHEETS (20%): Students will be assigned lab exercises designed to improve the skills needed to perform diagnostic testing. Exerci= se sheets must be turned in the day they are completed. Students will also be assigned “live” driveability diagnosis opportunities. Repair Reports and/or Diagnostic Reports will be turned in for EVERY “live” job completed and are due the day the job is completed.<= /span>

SUMMARIES (5%): Each student will be required to read articles = about 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 due each week on Wednesday. Summaries will not be accepted after 12:30 pm the day they are due, except in cases of absence.

Final Grading Scale:<= /span>

A …90 - 100%

B….80 - 89%

C… 70 - 79%

D….60 - 69%

F….59% or below = No written quizzes or te= sts will be given in this course!!

The following a= re non-negotiable expectations of

classroom and lab conduc= t.

Class members will attend class on time. Th= e instructor reserves the right to refuse admittance to anyone who arrives late for class! (Ten minutes grace for students and instructor on rare occasion= s.)
Class members will refrain from negative co= mments 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 pol= icies.
Cell phones will not ring or be used for conversation during classroom or lab sessions.
Class members will refrain from using tobac= co products during classroom or lab sessions.
Class members will refrain from sleeping in class. Sleep at home, be alert in class!
Class members will endeavor to conduct them= selves in a professional manner.

Benefits of taking this class
Students who successf= ully complete this course will have increased their understanding of how to diag= nose driveability issues related to fuel system, ignition system, emission system and engine mechanical causes.

Study Tips

To be successful stud= ents must complete the assignments given then by members of their group. Make go= od use of notes from Engine Performance I and II.
