TTJ2O Grand Erie School/Dunnville S.S. Course Outline

Teacher: Mr. G. Peters
Semester Dates: 2010-2011
TTJ2O
Course Description
This course introduces students to the service and maintenance of vehicles, aircraft,
and/or watercraft. Students will develop knowledge and skills related to the construction
and operation of vehicle/craft systems and learn maintenance and repair techniques.
Student projects may include the construction of a self‑propelled vehicle or craft, engine
service, tire/wheel service, electrical/battery service, and proper body care. Students
will develop an awareness of related environmental and societal issues, and will explore
secondary and postsecondary pathways leading to careers in the transportation industry.
Final Evaluation in this course (30% of final mark)
The organization of expectations into strands and sub-groupings (A, B, C, & D) are not meant to imply that the expectations in any one strand or group are achieved independently of the expectations in the other strands or groups. The concepts, content, and skills identified in the different strands of each course should, wherever appropriate, be integrated in instruction throughout the course.

The organization of expectations into strands and sub-groupings (A, B, C, & D) are not meant to imply that the expectations in any one strand or group are achieved independently of the expectations in the other strands or groups. The concepts, content, and skills identified in the different strands of each course should, wherever appropriate, be integrated in instruction throughout the course.
Simply the above four units will be blended throughout the entire semester due to the nature of our facilities. Example is some students are working on steering while others may be working on an engine, etc. It is not possible for all students to be working on the same project at the same time. Likewise safety, environment, society, carriers, etc., will be covered throughout the semester and related to current projects or news.

Course Final Mark Calculation
70% of the final mark comes from Assessments OF Learning during each unit of the term.
30% of the final mark comes from Final Evaluation which can take the form of examination, performance task, assignment, project or any combination of such tasks administered toward the end of the course.
