www.ljcreate.com Ref No. P4971-D Page 1 of 2
BS1 is a computer-based instructionalmodule that has been
designed to teachthe fundamentals of hydraulic systems.
The module incorporates both hardwareand curriculum
materials.
The hardware is provided in the form of abench-top hydraulics
trainer.
The curriculum materials provided in the
module are divided into a series of on-screen, interactive
assignments.
All assignments incorporate continuousassessment through
questions. When usedin conjunction with a ClassAct networked
management system, this provides instantfeedback of student
performance.
On-screen assignments may be theory-
based or practical-based.
Theory-based assignments provide
essential knowledge of fundamentalhydraulic principles.
Practical-based assignments directstudents to carry out tasks in
thelaboratory using the supplied hardware.
Students are guided through theirlaboratory tasks by printable
jobsheets.
Hydraulics trainer
This module is based around a hydraulicstrainer that allows the
student to
undertake a series of hands-on tasks thatrelate to hydraulic
systems. The trainer is
complete with all the hydraulic devices,
connectors, mechanical and electricalcomponents needed to study
the topicslisted below.
Curriculum material topics include:
Hydraulic accumulators.Pressure drop in a hydraulic circuit.Heat
generation and dissipation.Speed control systems.Hydraulic
circuits.Compression of gases.Hydraulic damping system.Pressure
relief valve.Check valves.Pascal's Law.Energy flow in a hydraulic
system.Hydraulic lever.Hydraulic cylinders.Defines a hydraulic
system.Hydrostatic principles.Input and output.Lobe, gear and vane
pumps.
Typical practical tasks include:
Investigate the use of cylinders in theautomobile.
Test the compressibility of fluids.Identify Pascals law and its
relationship to
pressures within hydraulic circuits.
Build a hydraulic circuit that includes acontrol valve.
Simulate a hydraulic disc brake system.Calculate cylinder
volume, pressure, and
efficiency.
Control a sequence of cylinders.Investigate systems that use
high pressure
hydraulics.
Work with hydraulic systems that operateas a safety system.
Identify how heat affects hydraulicsystems.
Select cylinders for an industrialapplication.
Solve problems with hydraulic systems.Competence-based
reporting
Each on-screen assignment is designedaround a list of
performance objectives.
These include academic, technical, andoccupational
objectives.
The assignments are written in such a way
as to enable a student to attain theperformance objectives, with
the assessmentquestions linked to these in order to provide
a measure of true competency.
The performance objectives are used by the
ClassAct management system to generate acomprehensive portfolio
of student
competency reports.
The module includes a default competencereport addressing the
latest NATEFstandards.
Instructor Materials
A range of instructor materials is provided,including:
An Instructor Guide, containing fullinstallation instructions,
health & safetyguidance, typically completed work, and
correct answers to all questions.
A checklist that identifies how theassignments address NATEF
requirements.
Student assessment sheets (allowingstudent tasks to be assessed
againstspecific NATEF statements), plus assessor
marking sheets.
Student response sheets (allowingstudents to record their
questionresponses if the ClassAct management
system is not available)
Health and safety sheets.Chemical safety data sheets.
