AUMT 2428 AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE 

Course Description:  A 16-week course that offers 4 credit hours per semester.  The instruction will be 6 hours and 40 minutes per class meeting. Emphasis is placed on mastery of automotive vehicle service and component systems repair. Specific attention is placed on mastering current automotive competencies covered in related theory courses in specialized areas previously obtained by the student. The course will enhance the student's competency of ASEEF task listings and give additional preparation for ASE testing and employment. 

 

End-of-Course Outcomes:  Demonstrate automotive shop safety, use tools and equipment properly; demonstrate proper handling of hazardous materials; and service, diagnose, and repair related vehicle systems.

 

PREREQUISITES: Any automotive course, automotive background

 

TEXTS AND REFERENCES USED:
1.   Assignments and Lab projects prescribed by the Instructor

2.   Manufacturer's service manuals, either in book form or computer based

3.   Selected films and charts from various sources 

4. Identifix and Alldata

 

INSTRUCTIONAL METHODOLOGY:  

Using a combination of computer based instruction, lecture, and faculty demonstrations, students will practice towards mastery of all required NATEF tasks.

 

COURSE RATIONALE:

Utilizing appropriate safety procedures demonstrate familiarity with historical development and career information on the automotive industry; demonstrate safe, professional, and responsible work practices; identify and demonstrate the proper use of shop equipment and tools; identify and describe functions of vehicle subsystems; demonstrate the use of service publications; identify various automotive fasteners used in industry; and perform automotive maintenance.

 

CLASS AND LAB REQUIREMENTS:

 

 1.    Regular attendance is required.  Only limited absences and tardies will be accepted if a grade better than a "D" is expected. Students will be dropped, or receive a grade of “F”, for absences of 10 hours of class time or more. All time missed from class for being tardy, leaving early, if you disappear during class time or are absent for the entire class period, will count toward the 10-hour absence maximum. Any student who misses 10 hours of class time, will either be dropped, or receive a grade of “F” for this course. I deduct 5 points off of your final grade for each hour that you are absent from class without approval.

2.    Students are required to maintain a "C" average, or a grade point average of 2.00.  This means that the average of all classes must be a "C" in order to obtain either a certificate of completion, or degree.  Students who either arrive late for class, leave early, and/or bring no tools cannot expect to complete lab assignments in a timely manner and will not

receive a grade better than "D".  For further information, see the sections on "graduation" and "Academic Suspension” in the Administration Information area of the current ACC Catalog. 

 3.    Each student will have their tools available for shop work at the beginning of each class meeting. If you do not bring your tools, 15 points will be deducted from your final grade each day you do not have tools. Loaning or borrowing of tools between students is discouraged.  Specialty tools, tools not on the student tool list, are available from the Tool Room.  

     4.    Safety is always first.  Common sense and our certifying agency, NATEF, require that all students must wear safety glasses in the shop.  Students without safety glasses will be prohibited from any shop activities. Violations of safety rules may result in the student being dropped from the class. You must wear attire similar to that found in a professional automotive repair shop. Flip flops, loose baggy clothing or clothing that is too revealing in nature, or is distracting to other students, are all unsafe for the shop environment and may not be worn. Students that habitually or continue to violate shop safety practices will be dropped from this course, or receive an “F” for the course. Students that are a danger to themselves, or others, will be dropped from the class. If the same safety issue/item is addressed with a student three times, it will then be considered a habitual safety violation and the student will be eligible to be dropped from this course for habitual safety protocol violations. 

 

INCOMPLETE

A grade of incomplete may be given for a student with excessive absences only under the most extreme circumstances. It will require documented excused absences from a doctor, hospital, police report, attorney, etc…..

 

GRADING:

 

AUMT 2428 Grading Practices:

 

  1. This class meets 6 hours and 40 minutes minimum each week (once per week) for sixteen weeks (Fall and Spring Semesters), OR 9 weeks, twice per week (Summer). 

 

  1. Work will be performed during class time only.  The only exception to this will be in the event that you begin work on a vehicle and it is not finished when the class has ended for the day and the vehicle must leave that day, within reason and at the discretion of the instructor. The instructor reserves the right to stop work on any vehicle at any time for any reason.  

 

  1. The class will be broken up into several groups (teams) of up to three students each. All repair work will be scheduled and performed by the students on the team. The instructor will only be involved, and must approve, any work that may/will take longer than one class period. Each group will have ONE assigned stall, in which ALL work will be performed. Exchanging of phone numbers is encouraged in order to properly schedule work within individual teams. For every customer vehicle brought into the shop, there must be a CUSTOMER and STUDENT work order filled out. For every ACC Automotive student vehicle brought into the shop, there must be at least a student work order filled out for the vehicle. The owner of the vehicle must sign the CUSTOMER work-order. Students will document all repairs on a student work order as a portion of the grade for this class.  For any vehicle that is not owned by an ACC automotive student, faculty or staff, there will be a $45 fee plus a 25% mark-up on parts. ACC Automotive Students- you must have a current valid driver’s license and insurance (on the vehicle being worked on) in order to bring your vehicle into the shop. 

 

  1. The group (team) will schedule its own work, and it will be cleared by me at least one week in advance. The first student to arrive will begin working on their vehicle/project. Once the other team members arrive, they will help the first person until the job is completed. Once the first project/job is finished, the group will start on the project/job that the second person to arrive brought. Once that project is finished, the group can move on to the third group member’s project/job. Once all of the group’s projects are finished, the group will print their DirectHit time sheets, complete the work order(s) for all vehicles repaired that day, clean-up and is then finished for the day. The purpose of this class is to help you practice all of the tasks that you have learned in all of the previous automotive classes you have completed. Additionally, the shop work performed in this class should closely simulate that of a regular working repair shop. With that said, your personal vehicle may make up no more than 15 labor hours or 15 clock hours of repairs for the semester. You may have your personal vehicle repaired by other teams if you need additional repairs on your personal vehicle, but you are not allowed to help. Each team will be assigned an ACC vehicle in order to help them complete their flag hours, see your instructor for an assigned vehicle. 


 

  1. Each group will be responsible for using DirectHit to look up, print and document the number of flag hours for each job performed on a student work order. The student work order will show: student names, date, vehicle year, make, model, complaint, cause and correction & amount of time, in hours & tenths of hour, flagged for the job finished. Each DirectHit time sheet and student work order will be kept neatly in a 3-ring binder in order by date, to be turned in for the final grade on the last day of class. Binders are due the second to last day of class. The notebook +  SP/2 certificates will count as 20% of your final grade. See list of SP2 certificates below in notebook requirements.

 

  1. For each person on a team, the team will be required to flag at least 40 hours, in order to receive an A, 35 – 39.9 flag hours per person in order to receive a B, 30 – 34.9 flag hours per person to receive a C, 25 – 29.9 flag hours per person to receive a D, 24.9 flag hours or less per person will receive an F. Flag time will count as 60% of your final grade. Attendance will count as the remaining 20%

 

  1. DirectHit time sheets and student work orders will be kept in order by date, have each member’s printed name at the top & kept neatly in a 3-ring binder (1 binder for the team). I do not accept anything other than 3-ring binders for your notebook. This binder is due to be turned in the last day of class. I have samples of notebooks for your review if you would like to see samples of what I am looking for.

 

  1. Clean up is a part of this class. Each person on a team will clean their work area upon completion of all of their work for the day. Clean up includes everything used by the team, including the assigned area shop floor, bench(es), vise(es), air hoses, lift, all tools and equipment used, etc. Anything you use must be cleaned when you are finished with it. I will deduct 5 points from your FINAL grade for not cleaning up after yourself, for each occurrence.  


 

  1. Work in the shop will cease at least 20 minutes prior to the end of class in order to give ample time  for clean up and document time flagged. 

 

  1. Lab activities (flag hours) will constitute 60% of your overall grade and your notebook ( including the SP2 certificates) will make up 20% of your overall grade, and attendance will count for the remaining 20%.


 

  1. Homework assignments and pop quizzes may be given. A student will not be given a passing grade, "D" or higher, without 100 percent participation in shop, shop clean-up, working with others, pop quizzes and completion of any homework assignments. 

 

13.   A positive constructive attitude also plays an important part in the overall evaluation of the shop work and will be directly related to the lab and participation grade. 

 

14.   Any withdrawals are the responsibility of the student. If the student fails to withdraw by the drop date, a grade of "F" may be awarded. 

 

15. Students may be dropped for any of the following reasons from this course: excessive absences, lacks course pre-requisite, lack of progress, missed tests/assignments, negligence that results in injury to anyone or damage to a customer vehicle or ACC property, failure to comply with course/department safety policies, or absent the first day of class. Attendance the first day of class is mandatory. Students that are habitually tardy may be dropped from this class. 

 

16. The use of generative AI (GAI) is permitted in this course under certain conditions to enhance learning while maintaining academic integrity. GAI is permitted to foster technological fluency and to leverage advanced tools for research, as long as it does not substitute for critical thinking and learning. Definition of GAI: Generative AI encompasses technologies that create content through learned patterns and data without direct human input. GAI can be used for initial research, idea generation, and learning practices. It is not to be used for final submissions unless explicitly cited and discussed. Contributions of GAI must be clearly cited and will be assessed on the student’s ability to critically analyze and integrate the AI-generated content. Misuse of GAI, including a failure to cite, will be considered a breach of academic integrity, with consequences including a failing grade for the assignment and academic review. Should the technology be required as an accommodation, exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis.







 

CAMPUS CARRY:

Statement for classroom courses with physical activity (non-exclusion zone)

 

The Austin Community College District concealed handgun policy ensures compliance with Section 411.2031 of the Texas Government Code (also known as the Campus Carry Law), while maintaining ACC’s commitment to provide a safe environment for its students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

Beginning August 1, 2017, individuals who are licensed to carry (LTC) may do so on campus premises except in locations and at activities prohibited by state or federal law, or the college’s concealed handgun policy. 

It is the responsibility of license holders to conceal their handguns at all times. Persons who see a handgun on campus are asked to contact the ACC Police Department by dialing 222 from a campus phone or 512-223-7999.

IMPORTANT: Automotive classes may involve considerable physical activity. Bending, stretching, lifting, and other rigorous activities associated with (class name) occur regularly in class. Such activities may expose concealed weapons and place the license holder in violation of state law. Therefore, it is recommended that concealed weapons be stored in a secure place as defined by college policy prior to entering the classroom, studio, or learning space.
