New Course OR Existing Course Author(s): Jason Dearman Subject Area/Course No.: Automotive/ Auto 141 Units: 4 Discipline(s): Automotive Technology Pre-Requisite(s): none Co-Requisite(s): none Advisories: eligibility for ENGL-095 Catalog Description: This course is designed to build upon the theories and skills learned in Auto 38, Introduction to Diesel Technology. Students will be introduced to more complex engine, fuel, and emission systems, and learn the proper diagnostic and repair skills associated with those systems. Although the course still follows the same basic information contained in the textbook used in Auto 38, most of the classroom material and lab activities are similar to the training a student would receive at an OEM factory training center. At the completion of Introduction to Diesel Technology and Advanced Diesel Technology a student should be prepared to enter the workforce as an entry level diesel technician at an independent or OEM repair facility. Schedule Description: This course will give you the advanced skills to diagnose and repair light duty auto and truck diesel engines, fuel, and emission systems. It will build upon those skills learned in the Introduction to Diesel Technology course and provide you with more in depth diagnostic and repair skills that will be required for work in the dealership or independent service environments.

Institutional Student Learning Outcomes: General Education SLOs: At the completion of the LMC general education program, a student will: 1. read critically and communicate effectively as a writer and speaker. 2. understand connections among disciplines and apply interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving. 3. think critically and creatively 4. consider the ethical implications inherent in knowledge, decision-making and action. 5. possess a worldview informed by diverse social, multicultural and global perspectives. None Program-Level Student Learning Outcomes (PSLOs): 1. Be prepared to enter the automotive field, as a general repair technician at all general service and repair stations, or apprentice level at the dealership level (manufacture level), and demonstrate the abilities and behaviors of an automotive professional. 2. Demonstrate the ability to locate, understand and use the repair information found in either repair manuals or online resources including wiring diagrams, trouble trees, torque specs, and all other necessary information. 3. Demonstrate the ability to properly diagnose, adjust and repair all major automotive systems. Meeting or exceed all manufacture specifications. 4. Be prepared to take and pass all ASE examinations A1 A8 and the L1 advanced ASE examination. 5. Clearly explain and practice all safety standards with regard to lifting equipment, shop machinery (brake lathe, strut compressor, machining equipment), chemicals, tool usage, and proper procedures regarding oil and chemical disposal. Course-Level Student Learning Outcomes (CSLOs): 1. Safely perform standard shop practices, and especially those required when working on high pressure diesel engine systems. (PSLO 5) 2. Evaluate vehicle condition and proposed repair procedures by obtaining customer and vehicle specific data. (PSLO 1,2,3,4,5) 3. Utilize all available data on the vehicle to determine the appropriate diagnostic and repair procedures to use to perform the repair. (PSLO 2,3,5) 4. Apply the knowledge gained to practice the additional requirements of cleanliness and high precision required when working on high pressure diesel engine systems. (PSLO 1,2,3,4,5) 5. Completely disassemble, evaluate the failed components, and properly reassemble a highly advanced automotive high pressure diesel engine similar to the VM Motori 3.0 diesel engine assembly.

Assessment Instruments: Homework Lab assignment Midterms and Final exam CSLO 1 X CSLO 2 X X CSLO 3 X X X CSLO 4 X X CSLO 5 X X CSLO 1: Lab assignment: Will be assessed through class projects within the automotive lab including but not limited to a student demonstrating the ability to properly maintain a safe work environment, keep tools clean and organized. CSLO 2: Lab assignment: The instructor will evaluate the assignment through observation if the repair outcome met the desired results of a complete and effective repair. Midterms and Final exam: Exams will follow ASE format (industry test standards) As both a lab project and final exam the student will be assessed on both knowledge of the subject and demonstrating techniques learned during lab. CSLO 3: Homework assignment: Homework assignments are assigned from required reading within the course textbook Automotive Diesel Technology. Assignments may be based in short quiz format or written question format dependent upon the content of the chapter Lab assignment: The student will demonstrate the ability to test and repair, as well as perform regular maintenance to the critical standards required for diesel engine systems Midterms and Final exam: Exams will follow ASE format (industry test standards) As both a lab project and final exam the student will be assessed on both knowledge of the subject and demonstrating techniques learned during lab. CSLO 4: Lab assignment: The instructor will evaluate the students ability to properly install fuel system testing equipment, perform diagnostic tests, all while maintaining the critical cleanliness standards required, and evaluate the test results to complete an effective repair. Midterms and Final exam: Exams will follow ASE format (industry test standards) and assess the student s ability to describe the operation of and diagnostic methods related to fuel system testing equipment and procedures. CSLO 5: Lab assignment: The instructor will evaluate the students ability to properly and safely disassemble, evaluate the condition of critical components, and properly reassemble an advanced automotive high pressure diesel engine using the factory approved procedures Midterms and Final exam: Exams will follow ASE format (industry test standards) and assess the student s ability to describe the various diesel engine mechanical components, fuel systems and emissions controls and their operation.
