Course Timeline: Unit Unit Unit Unit Unit Unit 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: Introduction, Shop Safety, Careers Power Tools, Measurement and Welding Vehicle Systems and Maintenance Automotive Electrical Systems and Theory Engine Performance Theory Transmission and Clutches Culminating Summative Tasks will be administered towards the end of the course and will be weighted at 30% of the final mark. Specific activities will be detailed later in the course. All timelines as stated are approximate. Major Topics and Projects Refer to the Student Outline for specific details Culminating Task The culminating task for this course will require students to design and build a model electric powered vehicle using fundamentals of metal fabrication, welding, electrical and gear ratio theory. Other Course Requirements Students are expected to keep a neat and up-to-date note book for this class. Note books will be kept in the classroom. Students are required to participate in shop clean up everyday. Students must clean up after themselves and return all tools, parts and materials to their proper location at the end of each work period. Clean up is an integral part of the expectations for this course and will be reflected in the student’s marks. Students are expected to be on time for class everyday and prepared for class. Tardiness and unexplained absences will be met with in class consequences and referral to the VicePrincipal. Students will be required to produce a comprehensive portfolio, outlining the major learning that has taken place throughout the semester Resources: The course will use a variety of resources which will be distributed to students as they are required. All textbooks will remain in the classroom, but can be signed out if necessary to complete assignments at home. Students will be responsible for the care and condition of the textbooks. Resources for this course include: Automotive Technology –A Systems Approach 4th edition, - Erjavec - Thompson-Delmar Automotive Fundamentals, 5th edition – Nash – McGraw Hill Ryerson Automotive and small engine shop manuals. This information includes step by step procedures that are required to perform repairs to the majority of vehicles and small engines in use today. Any damage incurred will result in payment for replacement. Automotive Technology- A Systems Approach - $120.00 Automotive Fundamentals - $60.00 Automotive Service Manuals - $30.00-$120.00 SAFETY Students will be instructed on all aspects of shop safety. Students are expected to be attentive to all safety instruction, read all shop and classroom safety rules, and adhere to all shop, tool and equipment safety rules. SAFETY PASSPORT A safety passport system is used in the Transportation Technology class that requires all students to sign a passport acknowledging that they have received instruction and demonstrated proper use of each tool and machine they will be using. The passport also requires students to achieve a minimum of 80% on any related safety tests. Students will not be allowed to use any tools or equipment if they have not signed the passport. Students must also return the attached Shop Safety Agreement, signed by both student and parent/guardian before any shop projects can begin. This form must be returned within the first week of the course. Evaluation Policies 1. Student marks will be determined by evaluating process & product according to 4 categories (see below) & 4 levels of the Achievement Chart as found in the Ministry Policy document for Mathematics. Evaluation Structure:: Knowledge/Understanding Application Communication Thinking/Inquiry 20% 40% 20% 20% Term Evaluations = 70% of the final mark. Final Evaluation = 30% of the final mark. Final Evaluations will include: Final written exam -15%, Summative Task – 15% 2. Feedback will also be provided for student learning skills. Responsibility, organization, independent work, collaboration, initiative, and self-regulation are assessed apart from student achievement in the four categories outlined above and will conform to the coding: (refer to www.dpcdsb.org/ASCEN for more details) E – Excellent G – Good S – Satisfactory N - Needs Improvement 3. Assignments submitted after the due date established by the teacher will receive a penalty in accord with our Board Assessment & Evaluation Policy Document as outlined in the student agenda. 4. Should a student miss an evaluation due to a legitimate absence, in accord with our Board A&E Policy Document, the student and teacher will make arrangements to address the missed evaluation in a timely manner. In the cases of extended vacation or prolonged absence, consultation with the appropriate administrator is required. 5. In the event that the student does not make up the missed evaluation(s), a zero may be assigned. If it is determined that the evaluation(s) has/have been missed as a result of a skip/truancy or has/have been plagiarized, a zero may be assigned. 6. For all other cases of absence and/or missed evaluations (including absence during the final examination period), please refer to our Board A&E Policy as outlined in the student agenda. May God bless your efforts this semester! To be signed and returned within the first week of classes Student and Parent/Guardian are to sign this page and the following safety agreement after fully reading this course outline, and return both to Mr. Beaton no later than September 8th. I have read and understand the course outline for Transportation Technology TTJ 2O1 (Grade 10 Open), and I understand my responsibilities and the course expectations.
