Emphasis is placed on subject matter recommended by the industry through the National Automotive Technicians Educational Foundation (NATEF). This course, in conjunction with AT 221 is designed tohelp prepare students for the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) exam in group 6: "Electrical and Electronic Systems," and incorporates substantial hands-on training with both demonstrator units and customer vehicles utilizing state-of-the-art electronic text equipment in the Automotive Technology Center. AT 121 incorporates substantial “hands on” training. Students will inspect, diagnose, and repair automotive starting, charging, and basic electrical circuits. Students will receive credit from the Ford motor company in “Basic Electrical Systems”.Course Outline:January 16thCourse Introduction Chapter 3 - Basic theory electrical theory23 Chapter 3 - Basic theory electrical theory -28 Chapter 4/5 - Ohms Law and Electrical Circuits30 Lab Chapter 4/5February 4thLab Chapter 4/56 Unit Test 1 (Chapter 3, 4 and 5) - Ford Tests!!!11 Chapter 6 - Test Equipment - 13 Lab Chapter 6 18 Chapter 8 - Schematics and Troubleshooting - (YES WE HAVE CLASS!!)20 Lab Chapter 6/8 25 Lab Chapter 6/827 Lab Chapter 6/8March 3rdSPRING BREAK!

Students must do their own work; copying or plagiarism will not be tolerated and will result in ejection from the course. Based on the time constraints of some of the labs, missed labs may or may NOT be able to be made up by a student!Homework must be typed; late homework will not be accepted! Homework is typically gone over at the start of class.In order to gain credit for a lab, you MUST come to class on time, and participate in the lab for the ENTIRE class period!Labs must be 100% complete. Any blank answers will result in a ZERO for that lab.Exams:The exams will evaluate what the students have completed in the classroom and the lab. They will consist of short answer questions based on ASE-related test material and sample questions. Students will also have to perform hands-on based testing and demonstrate to the instructor lab-learned skills. Students caught cheating on exams, test, or quizzes will receive a zero (0) test grade for that test. Missed tests or quizzes are subject to a written (essay) test.Attendance and Preparation:Students will be encouraged to treat the educational process like gainful employment with compensation being acomparable grade. Attendance is mandatory. Only an excused absence can be made up at a later time. If it is deemed that the student is abusing the use of excused absences, this privilege will be revoked. If you are unable to attend a class or will be late, please call me. The Community College of Philadelphia states that missing four (4) classes is worth two weeks of missed work. The student SHOULD DROP from this course at that time. Students sitting more than half way toward the back will accrue only ½ of an attendance credit;students sitting in the forward half of the classroom would accrue a full attendance credit. (as room permits)Roll will be taken every day at the start of class time. If you are late, it will be counted
