Diesel
Systems Technician 1 & 2
INTRODUCTION
The Diesel Systems Technician 1 & 2 Programs,
1050 and 750 hours respectively, train individuals to attain an entry-level position
in the diesel mechanics industry. The
program covers 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 diesel engines, 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 to 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 allows
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.
PROGRAM
The mission of the Diesel Systems Technician 1
& 2 programs are to prepare students for employment in the diesel mechanics
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.
The
Diesel systems Technician 1 & 2 programs have the following minimum admissions
requirements:
1.
Complete
an LTC online application
2.
Take
the TABE, if required
3.
Meet
with a career advisor
4.
Confer
with the program faculty 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 class 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.
The required TABE exit
scores for this program are: Reading 9;
Math 9; and Language 9.

ACCOMMODATIONS
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.
CLASS SCHEDULE
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 8 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.
Instructors 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 slides, 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 precise measuring tools, brake equipment,
compression gauges, and electronic test equipment 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.
Program Progress
Students are expected to complete the program
of training within the hours allotted by the State of Florida for completion.
The student’s rate of progress will be closely monitored by the faculty to
ensure program completion in a timely manner.
Requirements for a Certificate
All competencies
specified in the State of Florida Curriculum Framework for the program must be
successfully completed with at least an 80 percent in the areas of skills,
knowledge, and professional skills. Students must also meet minimum TABE
requirements prior to graduation.
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 is coordinated by the program faculty. Cooperative training is for students
who have who have completed at least 50% of the program competencies. 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 coop
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.
