TTJ4C GRAND ERIE SCHOOL-DUNNVILLE S.S. COURSE OUTLINE

Teacher: Mr. G. Peters
Semester Dates: 2011-2012
TTJ4C
Course Description
This course enables students to further develop technical knowledge and skills as they study, test, service, and repair engine management systems; power-trains; steering/control, suspension, brake, and body systems on vehicles, aircraft, and/or watercraft; and/or small-engine products. Students will refine communication and teamwork skills through practical tasks, using a variety of tools and equipment. Students will expand their awareness of environmental and societal issues related to transportation and their knowledge of apprenticeship and college programs leading to careers in the transportation industry.

Term/Semester Evaluation (70% of final mark)
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters/terms.
· All students will be expected to print the Daily Note (first/last name, full date, neatness, spelling, complete; mark /5)
· All students are required to listen/participate in the verbal lesson pertaining to the Daily Note.
· All D. N. & L. must be kept in order of date and submitted for evaluation every Friday.
· The Daily Notes & Logs are evaluated for Knowledge/Understanding and Communication (use of proper terminology, identify tools/equipment, problem solving).
· The Practical are evaluated for Thinking and Application.
· All evaluated marks are recorded on the Daily Notes & Logs sheet.
· Thus, if the student does not submit a D. N. & L. sheet for every day, those marks are missed, including the practical evaluation.
· All students will participate in the shop/practical (mark /10), (independent or group). D.S.S. cannot supply separate vehicle projects for every individual student due to limitations of garage space and cost. All students need to approach the practical with a mature attitude and demonstrate self motivation to gain experience with all the various opportunities available. It is my experience that when a student is forced to work on a project when the student does not wish to, he/she is likely to do a poor job, damage the vehicle/project/tools/equipment, and/or injure themselves or a fellow student. Thus I will not force any student to participate.
· All students are required to clean up there work area by the end of every class; including cleaning/organizing tools/equipment, put sawdust on spills, sweep up, wrap air lines/hoses, water hoses, electrical extension cords.
· All students will comply with shop safety (wear approved safety glasses, appropriate clothing (not overly loose/baggy) and shoes (no open toe, high heels, sandals/flip-flops); tie back long hair; no dangly jewelry, rings, bracelets.
· All students will print their Daily Log (mark /5); 5 lines of specific details, step by step, year/make/model, proper terminology, all tools and equipment.
· All students are expected to demonstrate good time management with the above.

Final Evaluation (30% of final mark)
4th quarter/term

Hello,

We are now in the 2nd quarter of the semester. I will be looking for more effort, details, and clean up when evaluating.

Students need to take it upon themselves to challenge themselves. I know that students learn differently and have very different comfort zones. I will assist everyone as much as possible.

Grade 12 students on February 23, 2010 were given the opportunity to observe Gord McLeod from Riverside Marina of Dunnville Ltd. demonstrate the latest technology and several steps performed by a marine technician when starting a new engine. Gord brought a new 2010 Polar kraft with 2010 Evinrude outboard. Thank you, Gord.

All interested students from D.S.S. traveled to the International Auto Show at the Toronto Metro Convention Centre on February 17, 2010. Thank you to Farr's Coach Lines Ltd. for transportation.

New Equipment
We have just received a 575V, 10hp., 120gal. pneumatic air compressor. Thank you to Disher's Automotive Supply Ltd., Grand Erie District School Board and Dunnville Secondary School.
