The College does not provide accident insurance. However, student health insurance is available through student services and is well worth its low cost. Smoking, Food and Beverages 3 Clackamas Community College AM 123 Syllabus Technical Career Education Division Oregon City, Oregon 97045 NO FOOD OR DRINKS ARE ALLOWED IN THE CLASSROOM OR SHOP AREA. Smoking is not allowed inside campus buildings. Diagnostic Testing If you are not really sure of what you want in the way of occupational training, diagnostic testing is available from the counseling department. Learning Resource Center/Remedial Services Even a mechanic has to be able to read, write and figure math with a certain degree of skill. Reading may be a skill of particular importance to a mechanic since most automotive shop manuals are written for about a 16th grade reading level. If you think you could use some help in any of these areas, don't be afraid or ashamed to ask for it. Tutorial service are available through the Learning Resource Center. If you qualify for RD 12, you must earn at least one credit per term, or you would not be allowed to register for automotive classes the following term. Cleanup Auto mechanics is, by nature, a somewhat dirty business. A little cleanup effort on everyone's part is necessary. Each person will be involved in a cleanup assignment. Since the college does not provide cleanup service for the auto shop, it is necessary for students and instructors to cooperate in keeping the shop clean. Anyone who refuses to participate in housekeeping activities will be dismissed from the program. Shop Work All shop work will be scheduled by the automotive instructors to a waiting list. The instructor will select from that list the jobs which best meet the instructional needs. There will be no unscheduled work in the shop. Student mechanics assigned to a job are expected to work on and complete the assigned job in a professional manner. All jobs must be paid for before the job can leave the shop. All vehicles must be road tested by the instructor before the vehicle is released to the owner. 4 Clackamas Community College AM 123 Syllabus Technical Career Education Division Oregon City, Oregon 97045 Lockers Lockers will be furnished for your tools, books and clothing.

Previous studies on the application of bionics in locomotives and vehicles mainly focused on shape optimisation of high-speed trains, but the research on bionic shape design in the electric locomotive field is rare. This study investigated a design method for streamlined electric locomotives according to the principles of bionics. The crocodiles were chosen as the bionic object because of their powerful and streamlined head shape. Firstly, geometric characteristic lines were extracted from the head of a crocodile by analysing the head features. Secondly, according to the actual size requirements of the electric locomotive head, a free-hand sketch of the bionic electric locomotive head was completed by adjusting the position and scale of the geometric characteristic lines. Finally, the non- uniform rational B-splines method was used to establish a 3D digital model of the crocodile bionic electric locomotive, and the main and auxiliary control lines were created. To verify the drag reduction effect of the crocodile bionic electric locomotive, numerical simulations of aerodynamic drag were performed for the crocodile bionic and bluff body electric locomotives at different speeds in open air by using the CFD software, ANSYS FLUENT16.0.

Analytical information for the market players concerning to the overall future hybrid train market and the subsegments is considered. The forecast of the volume railway transportation in Ukraine is represented in the paper. The aim of the paper is to examine the role of hybrid trains in logistics transportation segment under escalating importance of international logistics where transport segment is influenced in largely degree of political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal changes. The paper is targeted the stakeholders to provide with information on key market drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities. 1. Background and poor logistics services increase transport costs and delivery times whereas competitiveness becomes Transportation logistics issues are of great importance increasingly dependent on cost efficiency. for business, as customers location and resourcing Along with remoteness, they are major determinants opportunities are widely disperced. Neglect of logistics of a country’s ability to participate in the world economy aspects brings nor only higher costs but eventual such as connectivity [1]. The importance of connectivity noncompetitiveness, which will result in diminished is very high in today’s globalised economy, where value market share, more expensive supplies or lower chains are increasingly interconnected and spread out all profits.logistics problems can prevent exporters from over the world [2].

  • The Informationalized Infrastructural Ideal. (Under the Direction of Dr
    ABSTRACT OSWALD, KATHLEEN FRAZER. Smarter, Better, Faster, Stronger: The Informationalized Infrastructural Ideal. (Under the direction of Dr. Jeremy Packer). As the public and private sector spend and invest billions of dollars maintaining, repairing, securing, constructing, and informationalizing infrastructure, scholars of communication continue to neglect the central role of infrastructure in shaping contemporary mediascapes. This neglect stems from a number of tendencies in the field of communication, including a move away from the transmission model of communication, a separation in thinking about the communication of information and the communication of people and objects, and a tendency to think about technologies in terms of their historical development, mediation, effects, uses or potentials rather than to understand technologies as cultural forms subject to alternative arrangements. While these academic biases make the study of communication, mobility, and technology challenging, my work takes an interdisciplinary approach that recognizes and works to move past historical divisions in the disciplines in the interest of exploring the ways in which informationalization is changing communication, culture, and mediascapes. I locate informationalization—adding a data layer to processes through instrumentation, interconnection and intelligence—at the center of changing articulations of communication, transportation, information and housing infrastructure. I take as central a double reorganization of infrastructure under two competing logics: a utopian view that positions the informationalization of networks as “smart” and can be traced across a variety of popular, industry and government discourses as a compelling argument for connection; and a logic that positions infrastructure as “critical,” which while intensified by post 9/11 sensibilities, has clear origins in earlier beliefs about the dystopian potentials of connection, including computer crime and cyberwarfare.
