COURSE DESCRIPTION; An overview of automotive electrical systems including topics in
operational theory, testing, diagnosis, and repair of batteries, charging and starting systems, and
electrical accessories. Emphasis on electrical schematic diagrams and service manuals. May be
taught manufacturer specific.
Today’s automotive repair technician has a monumental challenge before him or her to keep
abreast of the constantly changing technical advances in the automotive industry. The technician
has to comprehend information on the new Hi-Tech electrical systems, the ever- changing
mechanical technology and improved materials, which make up a modern day vehicle. The
automotive technician has to determine what component part or parts are performing incorrectly
by using meters, gauges, and computer test equipment. The technician will need to be able to
repair the customer’s vehicle as quickly as possible. Increased vehicle sales caused by the
increasing population means increased use of automobiles. Automotive repair technicians are
very desirable employees in the current and future workplace. They command high salaries for
their expertise of diagnosis and repair of the automobile.
LEARNING OUTCOMES; Utilizing appropriate safety procedures, the student will
demonstrate familiarity with the automotive electrical system and how to diagnosis and repair
systems. Demonstrate safe, professional, and responsible work practices; identify and
demonstrate the proper use of shop equipment and tools; identify and describe functions of the
vehicle subsystems; demonstrate the use of service publications; and how to read a wiring
diagram.

SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY
Students are responsible for conducting themselves with honor and integrity in fulfilling course
requirements. Penalties and/or disciplinary proceedings may be initiated by College System
officials against a student accused of scholastic dishonesty.
―Scholastic dishonesty‖ includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and
collusion.
―Cheating‖ on a test includes:
 Copying from another students test paper;
 Using materials during a test that are not authorized by the person giving the test;
 Collaborating with another student during a test without authority;
 Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in whole or part
the contents of an unadministered test;
 Bribing another person to obtain a test that is to be administered.
 ―Plagiarism‖ means the appropriation of another’s work and the unacknowledged
incorporation of that work in one’s own written work offered for credit.
 ―Collusion‖ means the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing
written work offered for credit’
VIOLATIONS
Possible punishments for academic dishonesty may include a grade of ―0‖ or ―F‖ on the
particular assignment, failure in the course, and/or recommendation for probation or dismissal
from the college system. A recommendation for suspension or expulsion will be referred to the
college Dean of student Development for disciplinary disposition.
Students who wish to appeal a grade penalty should notify the instructional supervisor
within 30 working days of the incident. A standing committee appointed by the College Dean of
Instruction (Academic or Workforce) will convene to sustain, reduce, or reverse the grade
penalty. The committee will be composed of two students, two faculty members, and one
instructional administrator. A majority vote will decide the grade appeal and is final.

ATTENDANCE/ABSENCES/TARDY; The College System believes that regular attendance in
all classes is necessary and makes no distinction between excused and unexcused absences.
1. EXCESSIVE ABSENCES; although it is the responsibility of the student to drop a course
for nonattendance, the instructor has full authority to drop a Student. (FINAL
WITHDRAWAL DATE IS OCT 2) Students who continue attending class after the official
withdrawal date has passed are not eligible to be withdrawn by the instructor. These students
must be assigned a grade of ―F‖ or ―FX‖ on the final grade sheet.
2. ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWALS; THREE CREDIT-HOUR LECTURE/LAB
CLASS.
Students may be dropped after more than 12 hours of absence are accumulated or 4 days.
3. TARDINESS POLICY; Students who are not present (7:00 AM) when role is taken will
be marked tardy. Three tardiness are considered one (1) absence.
EGLS3 -- Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System
At Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary
to improve teaching and learning. During a designated time, you will be asked to answer a short
online survey of research-based questions related to instruction. The anonymous results of the
survey will be made available to your professors and division chairs for continual improvement
of instruction. Look for the survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System
online near the end of the term.

Refunds
You receive a 100 percent refund when your class does not make or when a college error has
been made. Refunds are processed as soon as possible and generally are mailed four to six weeks
after the last day to apply for a refund. Your refund will be mailed to the address on your student
record. A Stop-Payment Fee of $20 is charged to reissue a refund check that has been mailed to
an incorrect address. A refund for fees that are paid by third parties, such as friends or relatives,
will be made directly to you. However, if payment of your tuition and fees was made to HCCS
directly by a sponsor, donor, or scholarship, the refund will be sent to the source, not to you.
For further information concerning refunds see the HCC Student Handbook.
Course Repetition Students who repeat a course three (3) or more times may soon face
significant tuition/fee increases at HCCS and other Texas public colleges and universities. Please
ask your instructor/counselor about opportunities for tutoring or other assistance prior to
considering course withdrawal, or if you are not receiving passing grades.
Grade Appeal
Grade determination and awarding of all grades in the course is clearly the responsibility of the
instructor. A student’s grade can be changed only at the discretion of the instructor or as a result
of the appeals committee process. Whenever possible, students and instructors should attempt to
resolve grade disputes informally. If this is not possible and the student remains dissatisfied, the
instructor will notify the student of the student’s right to appeal a final course grade and the
procedure for filing an appeal.
For Further Information concerning the grade appeal process see the HCC Student Handbook
