AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY
-SCHEME OF WORK-
|
|
This scheme of work has been designed to provide Year 12/13 students with Unit Standard credits in Automotive Engineering. There are six (6) Level 2 Unit Standard courses available over 31 weeks in the school year. They are worth a total of 24 credits. The progress of the students is dependent on their ability and application. Students who complete this course will be eligible for the Manukau Institute of Technology Certificate of Achievement in Automotive Technology level 2.
|
|
OBJECTIVES
|
|
Students credited with the following units should be able to:
† Demonstrate knowledge of General Workshop Engineering
† Demonstrate knowledge of Workshop Tools and Equipment
† Demonstrate knowledge of Motor Vehicle Systems and Components
† Demonstrate knowledge of the basic operation of Two and Four Stroke Petrol and Diesel Engines
† Demonstrate knowledge of servicing a Motor Vehicle Cooling System
† Work safely in an Automotive Workshop
|
|
STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE
|
|
Where possible time taken out for whole school activities (e.g. sports, cultural activities, etc.) has been taken into account in the allocation of weeks to cover unit coursework.
|
|
NOTE TO TEACHERS: This scheme is designed as the first step in lesson preparation and does not represent a lesson by lesson plan. The classroom teacher should prepare units of work with the student foremost in mind.
|
|
Students must NOT share workbooks.
Students must NOT use any equipment or tools without the teacher’s permission.
Students must NOT be present in the workshop in an unsupervised session at any time during this course.
|
|
ASSESSMENT
|
|
Unit Standard testing will be completed in consultation with Manukau Institute of Technology’s co-ordinator and moderator. Time for Unit Standard testing is included in time allocated to each unit. In line with Pakuranga College Policy, students will be given ONE opportunity to “resit” Performance Criteria that they have not passed within a Unit Standard. This resit time is allocated within the Scheme. There shall not be any other time allocated for resits / resubmissions.
|
|
ALL MODERATION REQUIREMENTS ARE TO BE COMPLIED WITH EXACTLY.
|
|
Although this scheme indicates the workbooks that should be used, this course is not designed with a specific resource package in mind, and teachers are encouraged to build up a bank of resources bearing the following in mind:
|
|
The range of ability in the class
|
The cultural mix of the class
|
The aims of the school
|
The participation level of the class
|
|
STATEMENT ON RESOURCES
|
|
All workbooks, textbooks, tools and equipment will be provided for student use. Students are to save their workbooks in a ring binder. Students are to work co-operatively and exhibit teamwork where vehicle components must be shared. It will be necessary for teachers to monitor student’s work ethic and equipment management activities on regular occasions to ensure that only appropriate behaviour is displayed in the workshops and classrooms. Unit Standard testing (assessments) will be completed within set timeframe. Any student who accesses the workbooks and tests of another student will be considered in violation of school policy on cheating and dealt with accordingly. Unsafe practices and unauthorised workshop access violations will be reported immediately to the HOD.
