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: Identify the major components of a modern high pressure diesel engine and explain their functions. The instructor will evaluate the assignment through observation and a final check of the tune up performed by the student.

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, 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, and evaluate the test results to complete an effective repair.
