COURSE OUTCOMES/OBJECTIVES: List the primary instructional objectives of the class. Formulate some of them in terms of specific measurable student accomplishments, e.g., specific knowledge and/or skills to be attained as a result of completing this course. For degree-applicable courses, include objectives in the area of ‘critical thinking.” Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: 1. 2. 3. 4. Diagnose and repair brakes. Understand laws as they apply to brake operation and repair. Understand how manufacturers convert air and hydraulic pressure to mechanical brake force. Identify components that make up air and vacuum brake systems. DHET 150 - Page 2 Date Approved: 11/25/96 Date Scanned: 5/31/2005 2. COLLEGE LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS: Degree applicable courses must include critical thinking tasks/assignments. This section need not be completed for non-credit courses. Describe how the course requires students to independently analyze, synthesize, explain, assess, anticipate and/or define problems, formulate and assess solutions, apply principles to new situations, etc. Students determine applied pressures to brakes using mathematical calculations of chamber sizes, air pressure, and fulcrum levers. Students anticipate problems with systems using gauges, isolation of components, and testing 3. ASSESSMENT Degree applicable courses must have a minimum of one response in category 1, 2, or 3. If category 1 is not checked, the department must explain why substantial writing assignments are an inappropriate basis for at least part of the grade. 1. Substantial writing assignments, including: essay exam(s) term or other paper(s) written homework reading report(s) laboratory report(s) other (specify) _____ If the course is degree applicable, substantial writing assignments in this course are inappropriate because: The course is primarily computational in nature. The course primarily involves skill demonstrations or problem solving. Other rationale (explain) __________________________________________ 2. Computational or Non-computational problem-solving demonstrations, including: exam(s) quizzes homework problems laboratory report(s) field work other (specify)_______ 3. Skill demonstrations, including: class performance(s) other (specify)____ 4. Objective examinations, including: multiple choice completion field work performance exam(s) true/false other (specify) matching items 5. Other (specify) ____________________________________ NOTE: A course grade may not be based solely on attendance.

Text(s) Title: Heavy Duty Truck Systems Required Edition: 2nd Alternate Author: Ian Andrew Norman/Robert Schuaff/John A. Corinchock Recommended Publisher: Delmar Date Published: 1996 (Additional required, alternate, or recommended texts should be listed on a separate sheet and attached.) For degree applicable courses the adopted texts have been certified to be college-level: Yes. Basis for determination: is used by two or more four-year colleges or universities (certified by the Division Chair or Branch Coordinator, or Center Dean) OR has been certified by the LAC as being of college level using the Coleman and Dale-Chall Readability Index Scale. No. Request for Exception Attached REQUIRED READING, WRITING, AND OTHER OUTSIDE OF CLASS ASSIGNMENTS: Over an 18-week presentation of the course, 3 hours per week are required for each unit of credit. ALL Degree Applicable Credit classes must treat subject matter with a scope and intensity which require the student to study outside of class. Two hours of independent work done out of class are required for each hour of lecture. Lab and activity classes must also require some outside of class work. Outside of the regular class time the students in this class will be doing the following: Study Answer questions Skill practice Required reading Problem solving activity or exercise Written work (essays/compositions/report/analysis/research) Journal (reaction and evaluation of class, done on a continuing basis throughout the semester) Observation of or participation in an activity related to course content (e.g., play, museum, concert, debate, meeting, etc.) Field trips Other (specify) ____________________________ DHET 150 - Page 4 Date Approved: 11/25/96 Date Scanned: 5/31/2005 V.
