Diesel Engine Tune-up

WVEIS 1743

This course introduces the student to the knowledge base and technical skills for concepts in diesel engine tune-up. Areas of study include engine problems and testing, tune-up and adjusting, troubleshooting, and student organizations. Emphasis will be placed on career exploration, job seeking skills, and personal and professional ethics. Safety instruction is integrated into all activities. Students will utilize problem-solving techniques and participate in laboratory activities to develop an understanding of course concepts, and teachers should provide each student with real world learning opportunities and instruction related to diesel equipment technology occupations. Students are encouraged to become active members of SkillsUSA for additional co-curricular opportunities that enhance student achievement, develop student leadership, and support experiential learning. The West Virginia Standards for 21 st Century Learning include the following components: 21 st Century Content Standards and 21st Century Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that integrates learning skills, technology tools, and content standards and objectives.
