COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
What should the student be able to do as a result of taking this course? State some of the objectives in terms of
specific, measurable student accomplishments.
1. Study a variety of engine models.
2. Select proper tune-up tools and determine proper clearances at hot or cold setting.
2. Determine temperatures, pressures, and exhaust emissions to assess operation status
of engines.
3. Measure torque, heat output, and horse power on the dynometer.
COURSE CONTENT
Themes: What themes, if any, are threaded throughout the learning experiences in this course?
All engines must be properly adjusted to put out their best performance, fuel economy and
least emissions.
Concepts: What concepts do students need to understand to demonstrate course outcomes?
1. Importance of tune ups.
2. Manufacturer's tune-up kits other tools such as inch-pound torque wrenches, dial
indicators, infrared heat guns, pyrometers and feeler gauges.
3. The dynometer.
Issues: What primary issues or problems, if any, must students understand to achieve course outcomes (including
such issues as gender, diversity, multi-culturalism, and class)?
1. Emissions regulated by government regulations and specified in manufacturers'
handbooks.
2. Fuel consumption impact on cost of operation and environment.
3. Horsepower and torque related to engine performance.
4. Lack of power.
Skills: What skills must students master to demonstrate course outcomes?
1. Use of inch-pound torque wrenches, dial indicators and gauges to determine
clearances.
2. Use Pyrometer or thermocouple to measure heat output.
3. Measure emissions using ultraviolet light.
4. Determine horsepower and engine output torque with dynometer.
5. Monitor water temperature, oil pressure, fuel consumption and exhaust emisssion and
compare them to manufacturer's specifications.
6. Proper sequence of procedures in doing a tune-up.
7. Utilize sound, touch and sight to determine engine performance.
REPRESENTATIVE LEARNING ACTIVITIES
What will students be doing (e.g., listening to lectures, participating in discussions and/or group activities, attending
a field trip)? Relate the activities directly to the Course Learning Outcomes.
1. Listening to lectures.
2. Adjusting valve lash or clearances.
3. Checking fuel injection timing.
