4.	COURSE DESCRIPTION:	Emphasizes practical on-the-job, work-related experience that corresponds to the area of study. In this semester, the student takes all related sponsor requirements in (STS) Service Training Standards (General Motors) or ("F.A.S.T.") Fundamental Automotive Systems Training (Chrysler) or others as required by the program track. The student registers for and takes the (ASE) Automotive Service Excellence exam.
5.	COURSE GOAL:

6.	COURSE OBJECTIVES:
	By the end of the course, students will:
	(A)	ASEP Students: General Motors STS embedded course tests must be taken and passed for General Motors ASEP Students for the semester they are enrolled in. CAP Students: All Fundamental Automotive Systems Training (F.A.S.T.) interactive C.D. and tests must be completed by Chrysler C.A.P. students for the semester they are enrolled in.
	(B)	CO-OP Internship - Weekly Activity Reports must be completed and turned-in to the Automotive Department Office by 5 p.m. Monday for the previous week. Failure to complete report in-full and return-in on time will result in a lowering of grade as specified on the bottom of the report.
	(C)	The student must complete a minimum of 150 hours at a sponsoring automotive repair facility within the prescribed time frame of the semester enrolled in.
	(D)	The student must enroll in and take the A.S.E. (Automotive Service Excellence) test for engine performance.
	(E)	The student must enroll in and take the A.S.E. (Automotive Service Excellence) test for Electrical Systems.
	(F)	The student must complete a Task List of Objectives that corresponds to the semester of curriculum content for which he/she is enrolled. Failure to turn-in this task sheet will result in a failure for the CO-OP Course.
	(G)	Measure the voltage drop of each leg of a parallel circuit with a DVOM.
	(H)	Measure the frequency of an AC Circuit with a Fluke 87 or Lab Scope.
	(I)	Repair A/C System (a) leak test a system, (b) evacuate an A/C system, (c) charge an A/C system.
	(J)	Enter diagnosis on an ATC system and remove trouble codes.
	(K)	Diagnose an ATC problem using the trouble tree of the shop manual.
	(L)	Remove and clear codes on an anti-lock brake system.
	(M)	Properly bleed an anti-lock system (with scan tool, if necessary).
	(N)	Use the snapshot feature of the Tech 1 or DRBIII (or similar scanner) to test oxygen sensor circuit.
	(O)	Test input sensor circuits for proper readings.
	(P)	Secure information from the tech-line or MDS equipment.
	(Q)	Break the secondary ignition pattern on a CR+ type scope.
	(R)	Measure DIS Coil output with an ST-125.
	(S)	Diagnose a vacuum leak.
	(T)	Observe the injector pattern on a lab scope for Fluke 87.
	(U)	Measure the emissions of a vehicle with a 4 or 5 gas tester.
	(V)	Diagnose why a vehicle failed (regarding vehicle emissions).

7.	EVALUATION PROCEDURES:
	(A) There will be a written exam after each unit and a final, during the 7½ week term, during class time, and on announced dates. All will be weighted equally, except the final will count double.
	(B) There may be unannounced “pop” quizzes throughout the 7½ week term, which will also be weighted equally to other exams.
	(C) Routine evaluations will be made on an individual basis by the instructor during each lab session.
	(D) There will be a lab final (performance) exam. The score on this exam will be entered twice (doubled) when computing your final grade.
	(E) Grading will be weighted--30% of your grade for written assignments, 40% of your grade for lab assignments, 30% of your grade for tests. One grade point value will be deducted from total grade percentage for every hour absent.

		Grading Scale Raw Score Range	Letter Grade
		90 to 100	A
		80 to 89	B
		70 to 79	C
		60 to 69	D
		0 to 59	F

Written Assignments 30%	Lab Assignments 40%	Tests 30%	Attendance
50/50 50/38 50/50	50/38 50/50 50/38	100/90 100/70 100/90	One point will be deducted from total grade percentage for every hour absent.
150/138	150/126	300/250

Special Remarks:
1.	Points should be recorded on student’s calendar so at any time during the semester students can figure their own percentage. The instructor may ask students for percentage figure by using formula above.
2.	Make up on quizzes and exams will only be made through arrangements prior to test day. All unit quizzes and/or exams will be announced prior to test day.
3.	Final grades will be based upon a composite of all quizzes and exam scores, assignments, and attendance.
4.	Attendance Policy: Absences in excess of 20% of total class time will result in being dropped from this class.
5.	Tardy Policy: A student who is late three times (enters classroom after the instructor has taken roll) will be charged with one full absence unless the student can provide valid reasons for one or more of these tardies.
6.	You are expected to spend at least 1-2 hours of study time outside of class for each hour you are scheduled in class. Anyone who enters the lab must have safety glasses on at all times. They must also have the appropriate clothing and shoes on.
7.	The PCC Catalog for the year in which you started this program lists all general academic policies, procedures, and requirements relating to your enrollment and education. It is your responsibility to read, understand, and follow that college catalog as it relates to you.

9.	ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
	The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor.
