apply general shop administrative
and maintenance practices
perform accurate measurements
on automotive components and compare to specifications to determine component
condition
consistently demonstrate
the correct use of tools and of shop and diagnostic equipment
demonstrate proficiency
in the application of fasteners and fittings
SUGGESTED
INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES
Have students access
a variety of sources to complete specification or procedure sheets (engine,
alignment, brakes, fluid and capacity, electronic component, battery, suspension,
and others). Using the sheets, have students perform measurements on the respective
component(s) and evaluate the results.
Have students complete
records of work performed (e.g., work order, self-evaluation sheets).
Have students regularly
perform minor maintenance tasks (tools, equipment, clean-up) and maintain
a log sheet of tasks performed.
Following teacher demonstration,
have students practise correct use of tools, equipment, fasteners, and fittings
in completing a given task (power train, chassis, electrical, and electronic
systems).
SUGGESTED
ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES
Have students create
or fill out various shop forms (e.g., work order, parts list, inspection or
service report, log book). When assessing studentsÕ work, look for:
- accuracy of information
- inclusion of relevant information
- acquisition of essential signatures
- legibility of their writing.
Have students assemble
a puzzle, using various fasteners and fittings. Observe and note the extent
to which they are able to:
- identify the items correctly
- use appropriate reference materials
- explain the purpose for the different types of fasteners and fittings
- note where sealants are required.
When students perform
basic maintenance tasks using shop tools and equipment, observe and record
studentÕs ability to:
- complete the task accurately
- identify potential hazards.
Using appropriate measuring
tools, have students measure a component and assess their ability to:
- use measuring tools responsibly
- measure accurately
- record and compare results to specifications
- evaluate their results.
Have students perform
service procedures assigned to them (e.g., oil and filter change, battery
maintenance, fuel or air filter replacement, greasing of various components).
In assessing their performance, consider the extent to which they:
- take and perform each task seriously
- regard cleanliness as very important
- use the appropriate tools
- clean up any spills
- wear appropriate safety attire
- record all necessary information
- assure that the vehicle is clean upon completion of servicing.
