Automotive
Service Technology 1 & 2
The Automotive
Technology 1 & 2 programs are 1050 and 750 hour programs, respectively, responsible
for training individuals to attain an entry-level status in the
automotive industry. The programs cover a broad range of instruction that may
be found in the program outline of this master plan. An appropriate amount of
time is spent in each area to thoroughly cover needed instructional material as
well as to gain manipulative skills.
The program utilizes
both theory and practical application of material to help the students gain
needed knowledge and skills. Due to the increasing complexity of systems on
today's automobile, it is even more important to know why a procedure is done
as well as how it is done. Understanding how a system functions, therefore, has
an important role to play in this program of study.
Each student must
successfully complete written test material on theory and related topics as
well as successfully demonstrate the practical application of this information
in the laboratory environment.
Prerequisites for this
program should include a solid background in math and science in general with
emphasis on basic math, formulas, percentiles, fraction and decimal conversion,
and the use of precision measuring equipment, physics, chemistry and
metallurgy. These areas are taught as part of the program of study, but it
would be helpful to have these skills in advance.
Materials used are
self-paced which allow students to progress at their own pace under the
supervision of the faculty. Competencies in each area are completed after both
written and performance testing.
The mission of the
Automotive Technology Program is to prepare students for employment in the
automotive mechanic field. It is also designed to assist those students who
wish to update present skills and cross-train in other automotive areas. The
program focuses on student and industry needs. Training is constantly updated
by the faculty and program advisory committee to keep current with
technological changes.
Applicants
must be at least 16 years of age and should be academically, physically, and
emotionally capable of meeting the demands of the chosen program. Applicants make initial application through
the Admissions Office. A minimum skills
evaluation is part of the admission process.
It is highly recommended that students meet with the program Faculty
prior to entering the program.
For
the Automotive Service Technology 1 and 2 programs, the admission requirements
include:
1.
Complete an LTC online application
2.
Take the TABE, if required
3.
Meet with a career advisor
4.
Confer with the program faculty or department
chairperson prior to actual enrollment
TEST OF ADULT BASIC EDUCATION (TABE)
All
applicants for Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs 450 hours or more,
with the exception of Florida Law Enforcement Academy applicants, take a state
mandated TABE prior to enrollment. TABE scores are good for two years and must
be valid at the time of enrollment.
Several
exemptions to TABE are accepted. In order to be exempt, a student must submit
official documentation to a career advisor for verification of an exemption:
1. Applicants
who have earned a standard State of Florida high school diploma, 2007 or later,
or possess a documented degree (AA, AS, AAS, BA or BS) may be exempt from TABE
testing. (s.1004.91).
2. Applicants
who have earned a State of Florida High School diploma via the GED® test no
more than two years prior to the start of class.
3. Students
taking any accepted standardized tests such as PERT or ACT may be exempt from
the TABE provided the scores are at satisfactory levels and the test was taken
within two years of enrollment in a Career and Technical Education program
(6A-10315, 6A-10.040).
4. A
student who has completed or who is exempt from the college-level communication
and computation skills (CLAST) examination pursuant to s.1008.29 is also exempt
from the TABE. Per s. 1008.29.
5. Documented
successful completion of college-level remedial coursework may be used to meet
TABE requirement.
6. Documented
passing scores on state-designated industry certification tests may be used.
7. Mandated
TABE exit scores may be waived for documented special needs students as per
Florida guidelines. The student must enroll in AAAE and begin remediation in
order to meet the exit requirements of the CTE program in which the student is
enrolled. A student, with a documented disability, who is approaching
completion (mastered 90% of the competencies) of the CTE program and has not
met TABE scores, may be considered for a TABE exemption based on the following.
It is determined through a SIT meeting that the student has successfully
mastered the competencies of the CTE program in which she/he is enrolled and
has been participating as expected in AAAE. The members of the SIT meeting may agree
to waive TABE requirements.
According to Florida Department of Education rules,
students who fail all or parts of the TABE may only retest using a different
TABE version after 60 documented hours of remediation in the Applied Academics
for Adult Education (AAAE) lab or three months if not attending AAAE. Students
may not retake the same test version for six months. We, therefore, strongly
recommend that students test early, especially for licensure programs, in order
to allow time for remediation and retesting should the need arise.
Students who do not meet the minimum TABE scores set by
the Florida Department of Education for their program must begin attending
remediation classes in the AAAE lab prior to or at the time of enrollment in a
Career and Technical Education program for at least one block a day and make
acceptable progress as determined by the AAAE faculty. It is highly recommended
students meet state mandated TABE requirements by the time they have completed
50% of their program. Students who do not meet state mandated TABE scores may
not receive a certificate of completion as per Florida Department of Education
rules.
Applicants
transferring appropriately leveled TABE, PERT or other accepted standardized
test scores from other testing centers must do so by having an official score
report sent directly to the Admissions Office prior to enrollment in the
program. Scores brought by hand will be accepted only if document provided by
the outside testing center is in a sealed envelope. Standardized tests scores
are valid for two years
TABE scores are good for two years and must be valid at the time of
enrollment. TABE scores that expire during continuous enrollment remain valid
until the end of such enrollment. Under continuous enrollment, students must be
enrolled at least 50% of each semester per school year. Continuous enrollment
applies to attendance in a single program.

Federal and state
legislation requires the provision of accommodations for students with
disabilities as identified on the secondary student’s IEP or 504 plan or
postsecondary student’s accommodations plan to meet individual needs to ensure
equal access. Postsecondary students with disabilities must self-identify,
present documentation, request accommodations if needed, and develop a plan
with their postsecondary provider.
Students desiring
accommodations or updates to their accommodations are encouraged to
self-identify as early in the program as possible. In order to receive
disability accommodations, students must self-disclose the disability to the
Students with Disabilities Coordinator and provide documentation that clearly
shows evidence of a disability and applicable accommodations. The Students with
Disabilities Coordinator will schedule a meeting with the student and faculty
to discuss the documented disability and applicable accommodations.
Accommodations received
in postsecondary education may differ from those received in secondary
education. Accommodations change the way the student is instructed. Students
with disabilities may need accommodations in such areas as instructional
methods and materials, assignments, assessments, time demands, schedules,
learning environment, assistive technology and special communication systems.
Documentation of the accommodation requested and provided is maintained in a
confidential file.
TUITION
Tuition
is charged for adult students at a rate established by the State legislature.
Current fee information is available in the Admissions Office. Tuition is
waived for eligible high school dual-enrolled students. Tuition is due prior
to the first day of each semester based on the Lake Technical College payment
calendar. Failure to pay all fees due at the time class begins will result in
not being able to attend class and/or clinical if applicable.
Full-time
students attend class from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Thursday with a 30
minute lunch period. This schedule provides 7.5 hours of instruction each day
for a total of 30 hours per four-day week, excluding holidays and school breaks
as outlined in the current school calendar.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
In an effort to develop
appropriate work ethics, Lake Tech students are expected to attend all class
sessions. As is expected in the workplace, when it is necessary to be absent
due to illness or emergency situations, all students are to notify the faculty
on or before the date of absence. The student attendance policy for each
postsecondary program is consistent with industry standards.
Campus
attendance is kept via a computerized system.
It is the responsibility of the student to log in and out in order to
receive credit for class time. This allows the school to keep accurate
attendance records for the actual number of hours and minutes attended. Faculty
are not expected to manually enter student attendance. Only one override is
permitted for failure to log in or out. Therefore, failure of a student to log
in and out may result in a documented absence. Logging in or out for another
student or having another student log in or out is unacceptable behavior and
may result in dismissal.
Only regularly scheduled
class hours will be reported for attendance. Practice exercises completed at
home does not count toward hours in the program. Make-up time will not be
accepted except as approved by the Executive Director of Lake Technical
College.
Absences
A student who is absent for six (6)
consecutive class sessions will be withdrawn from enrollment in his/her
program. A student withdrawn for absenteeism must petition administration to
return. A student having medical documentation or documentation of an extenuating
circumstance does not need to petition to return. Students exhibiting a pattern
of consecutive absences less than six days will be subject to dismissal as
determined by a School Intervention Team. Students with attendance issues will sign an
acknowledgement that they have been notified that continued absences will pose
a threat to grades and program enrollment. If
the student’s attendance does not improve but drops below 60%, the student will
be withdrawn unless documentation regarding extenuating circumstances is
provided to the Dean of Student Services.
Students in non-licensure programs must have achieved a minimum of
80% attendance at the end of each quarter. Students not having met this
requirement will be formally notified that continued absences will pose a
threat to grades and program enrollment. School Intervention Team meetings will
be held as necessary to attempt to alleviate issues resulting in excessive
absences and to counsel the student of possible alternatives and consequences.
Students who miss more than 20% of their program will not be allowed to
re-enroll the next semester and must wait until the following enrollment period
to re-register
unless the student’s appeal to the Executive Director has been approved. Only regularly scheduled class hours will be reported for
attendance.
Tardiness
As in the workplace, students
are expected to be in their seats promptly in the morning, after break, and
after lunch. Students are expected to notify the faculty before the start of
class of any anticipated tardies.
Leaving Campus During School Hours
For
safety reasons, students will notify their faculty when leaving campus early.
Students may leave campus for lunch provided this is done within the allotted
time.
Teaching Methods
Material used is self-paced and competency based. Students
proceed at their own pace with written, audio-visual, and hands-on training.
They are tested periodically with written and practical testing. Practical shop
experiences are designed to enhance and reinforce the theories involved as well
as to develop manipulative skill and good work and safety practices.
Teaching aids utilizing
digital presentations, DVDs, etc., are used to a great extent throughout all
instruction. Wall charts, specification charts, and other reference materials
are on constant display throughout the classroom and laboratory.
A great deal of
equipment must be utilized for "hands-on" skill requirements. Test
equipment such as ignition scopes, brake equipment, compression gauges,
electronic test equipment, and a chassis dynamometer are used so that the
students will acquire rapport in working with such equipment and will have a
basis for future troubleshooting requirements. Materials are reviewed and
updated periodically to keep them as current and as relevant as possible.
Students are made
responsible for all laboratory requirements such as maintaining tools,
equipment, and facilities, writing repair orders, tool room management, and
cleanup of shop areas.
Online
Access
Technology
is an integral part of our daily lives. From smart phones to electronic
tablets, these devices are becoming items that many cannot function
without. In addition, the Internet is changing the way education is
delivered. Lake Technical College strives to ensure that our students are
able to compete in this technology driven world. With this in mind, it is
recommended that students have an online presence and access to the internet.
It
is also important that students have an email address that they check on a
regular basis. A lot of information may come to you through your email,
so it is important that you check it regularly. If you do not have an
email address, there are numerous services that provide FREE email addresses.
Please make sure your faculty have a current, working email address for
you. See your faculty for more information.
Social
Media
The advent of social
media has created a world-wide communication medium for persons of all ages.
While extremely popular, these websites have also created their own set of
“not-so-popular” problems such as cyber-stalking, identity theft,
cyber-bullying, cyber-cheating (posting of exam, or other course material), and
a host of other nebulous challenges that users may face. Another reality
associated with social media is its far-reaching consequences for those who
share posts that may be seen by others as inappropriate.
Potential employers,
current employers, civic, or educational organizations you may be associated
with, and many others are looking at social media sites for information that
may tell them things about an individual. Students should also be cautioned on
how private their social media content really is – despite the settings on an
account. All social media sites are
potentially vulnerable. A simple search
of how to view pages that are set as “private” for a popular social media
website yielded numerous responses for ways to view the content. Everything
from blogs to online videos offer to explain how to accomplish this task.
Students in all programs
need to be cognizant of the fact that most professions rely on great moral
character. It is recommended that when using social media, assume that all
posts will be seen/read by everyone with access to the internet.
Safety
A basic outline of safety standards and
practices is covered along with a continuous implementation of safety
principles.
Work
Based Activities
Work-based
learning activities play an integral part of the curriculum of Lake Technical College’s
(LTC) career-technical training programs. These activities are planned with two
objectives in mind. First, the activity provides students with the opportunity
to develop and apply a “real world” experience using the knowledge and skills
attained in the program. Second, the activity provides the faculty with
objective input from potential employers or customers of program graduates.
Each work-based activity has a written instructional plan outlining objectives,
experiences, competencies and evaluation required during the activity.
Work-based activities are
program specific and may include:
• Unpaid in-school shop/lab
activities to provide customer service opportunities under the direct
supervision of the program faculty.
• Unpaid job shadowing experiences
that may include in-school or off-campus employer-based experiences under the
supervision of a qualified employer representative who is working closely with
the program faculty.
• Paid or unpaid cooperative
training experiences conducted at the employer’s work location under the
supervision of a qualified employer representative and under the direction of
the program faculty.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative training is
available for students and coordinated by the program faculty. Cooperative training is for students who have
shown competence in program training, which indicates readiness for placement
in an on-the-job program. Students must be enrolled in their last course of
their program in order to participate in Co-op. In addition, TABE exit levels
must be met and the student can have no outstanding debt with the school.
Students must be approved for Co-op prior to beginning, including clearance
through financial aid.
Students who do not
function satisfactorily on the job may be returned to the program for
additional training, or when the cooperative agreement is terminated at the
request of the student, the parent, the employer, or the program faculty.
Veterans will be
accepted into the program in accordance with the Veterans Administration
approved program.
Additional information
regarding co-op opportunities may be obtained from the program faculty.
Job Shadowing
Job
shadowing experiences, or volunteer experiences, are available to students who
may benefit from the experience. These experiences are designed to give the
student actual hands-on experience doing a variety of automotive related tasks.
Length and type of experiences will vary. The program faculty determines
appropriateness of the experience.
Additional information regarding job-shadowing experiences may be
obtained from the program faculty.
Career dual Enrollment
Students
All
students enrolled in Lake Technical College are expected to function as adults.
High School students will be held to the same behavioral and performance
standards as adult students.

Common Career Technical
Core
– Career Ready Practices
Career Ready Practices describe the career-ready skills that
