Description of the Program
The Automotive Technology program is classified as part of the Michigan Engineering,
Manufacturing, & Industrial Technology Career Pathway. The CIP code for our program is
47.0604.
We serve Muskegon area 11th and 12th grade students. Classes are held Monday through
Friday with morning and afternoon sessions of 2.5 hours long. Students spend approximately
one half of their day at the CTC and one half at their local high school.
Student enrollment in the CTC Automotive Technology program, as well as other programs
at the CTC is coordinated by local high school counselors. Prior to enrollment students
complete extensive career exploration and career assessment activities to determine their
career goals, interests, and abilities and they are matched with programs that will provide
them the greatest chance for success.
With almost 195 million vehicles on the road today, the demand for highly skilled technicians
has never been greater. The Career Tech Center (CTC) Auto Service program has been
training technicians for over 30 years and is certified by the National Automotive
Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF). Program instruction includes a balance of
lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on teaching on the equipment service floor. Students
will learn automotive brakes, steering and suspension systems, fuel injection, electrical and
electronic systems, engine performance and more.

Curriculum
The required curriculum in the Automotive Technology program includes in depth study in
Engine Performance, Brakes, Electrical diagnosis and repair, Steering and suspension
systems. After completion of the curriculum students will be qualified to take the industry
certification tests for these areas of certification. As a bonus, students who complete the
required coursework may also elect to study other areas of automotive service of their
choosing.
Customer service work is scheduled into the curriculum. The program prepares students to
specialize in the Automotive Technology service using a fully functional shop that operates
as a full service facility. Some examples of the technological service equipment used in the
program are the COATS Laser tire balancer, the John Bean digital imaging alignment
machine, Snap-On On-Board-Diagnostic equipment and more. To be eligible to work on
customer vehicles students must successfully complete the required curriculum first.
Work-based learning opportunities are available for qualified students. Articulated college
credit is available from Ferris State University, Muskegon Community College, Grand Rapids
Community College, Universal Technical Institute, Northwestern Ohio, and Baker College.
Successful completion of the Automotive Technology program prepares students for
employment in automotive service facilities, or, if students are inclined to pursue post-
secondary education the Automotive Technology program provides a solid foundation for
Engineering programs such as; Mechanical, Chemical and Electrical.
Students enrolled at the CTC as part of the Automotive Technology program may also earn
their 4th year Math credit required for Michigan High School Graduation.
Career Tech Student Organizations offered to Automotive Technology Students
One of our main strategies as educators here at the CTC is to encourage students to be well
rounded in there academics. In support of this we offer extracurricular activities to our
students in the form of after school Career Tech Student Organization (CTSO).
The Automotive Technology CTSO at the Muskegon Career Tech Center offers students a
opportunity to enhance their technical skills and professional skills by competing in Skills
USA, a National organization dedicated to Career Technical Education.
The Automotive Technology CTSO also offers students an opportunity to work on and race a
fully functional electric race car. Students spend the school year working on the car and in
the spring it is raced against other schools in a timed two hour endurance race held at the
Berlin Raceway in Marne, MI.

GRADES
Your grade is based on a point system. No point is weighted more than any other
point, which means every point is valuable. There are five main categories that comprise
your grade, they are; employability, daily assignments, quizzes, job sheets, and tests. There
is also a sixth category called todaysclass.com, this category is only applicable to students
who complete units 1-6 (units will be explained later).
The Employability Grade (units 1-7) – 350 points possible
Unlike other grades you may be familiar with (such as homework and tests) the
employability grade is NOT a traditional assessment of your knowledge. It is instead an
assessment of how well I believe you will perform as an “employee” after you graduate and
go to work full time.
At a job your responsibility is to follow the shop policies and procedures, likewise as
a student in the automotive shop your responsibility is to follow shop policies and
procedures. I use “Time Cards/Sheets” to document your employability grade. Every week
is worth 10 points for employability, during the week any violation of the classroom/shop
policies will result in loss of points (one point per violation).
The following is an example of what a daily time card looks like;
Automotive Service Technology Time Sheet
Name____________________________________AM PM. Week Ending ________
Monday Briefly describe what you did today; Briefly explain what you learned today;
Your Time Card also has a list of policies and procedures posted on the reverse side
of the card to remind you what the policies are. It looks like this;
1. Fender covers must be used when hood is open
2. Students are not allowed to test drive. Cars must be in closest available parking spot.
3. Only licensed drivers will drive cars, and must be alone.
4. No profanity or foul language
5. No food or drink in the shop or tool crib.
6. Do not sit or lay on the floor
7. RO’s must be paid at the time the car is taken
8. Students may not leave class without permission
9. Only the tool attendant is allowed in the tool room
10. Do NOT snap or throw rags
11. Do NOT play with accessories in customers cars
12. Students will be responsible for their own uniforms and glasses. Damage will result in disciplinary action
13. Upon completion of the assigned job report to instructor. ALL work must be inspected by instructor.
13
The Daily Assignment (units 1-7) – 350 points possible
Every day at the CTC is important; we will have one in-class assignment every day.
Each assignment is worth two points. Some assignments will require written work, some will
be performance based. Some examples of daily assignments are;
A. Essay question on current automotive topic
B. Pop quiz
C. Inspections (safety, notebook, etc.)
D. Performance evaluations
E. Worksheets
F. Professional development assignments (i.e. resumes, college applications, etc.)
G. Automotive Math assignment
H. Technical Reading assignment
Daily assignments cannot be taken on any day other than the day they are assigned.
Due to the nature of a regional center such as the CTC there will be some days that your
sending school tells you that you don’t have to come to class (i.e. pep assemblies, sporting
events, weather delays, etc). The CTC however is on its own schedule and if we are open we
will have class.
I will not stop my curriculum based on the schedule of other schools, so in the event
you miss class understand that you will also miss the daily assignment. When this happens,
you can make up the credit by submitting a “make-up” assignment.
A makeup assignment is this; You will write an essay covering the subject or
component that was the focus of class on the day that you missed. For example; if you
missed a Safety glasses inspection then you will write an essay on safety glasses and turn it
in for that days points. If you missed a quiz on spark plugs then you will write an essay on
spark plugs for that days points. If you missed a day that we put together a resume you will
put together your own resume and turn it in for that days points. You will not be graded
down for late assignments.
Unit Test and Final Test (units 1-6 only) – 350 points
There are six units covered in the CTC Auto Tech program. There will be a unit test
at the end of each unit and a final test at the end of the year (Total of 7 tests). Unit tests
range from 25 to 50 questions, and questions are worth one point each however I may grade
unit tests on a curve so the point value to question ratio may not be 1:1.
I teach for mastery, which means I will not allow you to move on if you are not
ready. My curriculum is built as a hierarchy and every unit builds on the one beneath it.
This means that if you don’t have a firm understanding of one unit you will not be ready for
the next.
As part of my mastery learning strategy I require all students to pass the unit test
with a score of 70% before they can move to the next unit.
14
Chapter quizzes (units 1-6 only) – 230 points
Each unit contains a series of textbook chapters that contain required information.
There is a unit quiz that correlates with each chapter. Chapter quizzes are worth five (5)
points each.
Job Sheets (units 1-6 only) – 450 points
Each unit contains a series of job sheets. You will be required to complete a certain
number of job sheets each marking period. Each job sheet is worth five (5) points each.
Job sheets will be graded by completion, although there is no specific order within
the units that they need to be completed. For the first 6 weeks of class there will be no
job sheets because we will be focusing mostly on shop safety. However starting week 7 it
will be your responsibility to get job sheets completed.
First trimester there are 20 job sheets; Assignment is to complete 4 per week
(starting week 7). 20X5=120 points. Second trimester there is 37 job sheets; Assignment
is to complete 4 per week. 37X5=185 points. Third trimester there is 29 job sheets;
assignment is to complete 5 per week (ending week 30). 29X5=145.
The following grade category is only applicable to students
who are working at the unit 7 level.
Todaysclass.com (Unit 7 / Auto Tech part 2) – 600 points
Each marking period (only after you have reached unit 7) you will be required to
complete at least one (1) todaysclass.com unit. The units are all on-line, interactive and very
detailed.
Once you have completed units 1-6 you have completed the first portion of the
curriculum. Units 1-6 are designed to be completed during one school year; however you may
work at your own pace. If it takes you two years to complete units 1-6 then you have two
years to do it. If you complete units 1-6 early you may start unit 7 early. The grading
system is set so that units 1-6 will be done the first year and unit 7 will be done the second
year. At the end of your second year in Auto Tech, you should be prepared to take some
industry certifications. Through unit 7 you may choose to specialize in one area. I will work
with you more individually to develop a curriculum that fits your goals during unit 7.
After completion of units 1-6 (typically during the second year), you may start unit
7. Unit 7 will take you through to the end of the program. In unit 7 there is a great deal of
information available and you may customize your learning. Unit 7 content is primarily on-
line through todaysclass.com. Also, a large component of unit 7 is customer work. In unit 7
you will be expected to work as a technician would during the class period on customer
vehicles.
15
NOTE: you must be actively participating in unit 7 to work on customer vehicles.
Meaning, if you do not maintain a 70% in class you will not be allowed to work on customer
vehicles. Specifically; if you are in your first year and you finish units 1-6 early and you do
not maintain a daily activity grade or a time card grade you will not be maintaining a 70% in
class and you will no longer be able to work on customer vehicles. Likewise, if you are a
second year student and you choose not to complete one todaysclass.com unit then you will
not be able to maintain a 70% and likewise you will not be able to work on customer vehicles.

Marking Periods & Report Cards
- Because our sending schools are on both semester and trimester schedules, the CTC has 6
marking periods.
- At the end of each 6-week marking period, the CTC sends report cards to your home and
reports both your grades and attendance totals to your sending school.
- If your sending school is on trimesters, your trimester grade can be calculated by
averaging 2 CTC marking period grades.
- If your sending school is on Semesters, your Semester grade can be calculated by
averaging 3 CTC marking period grades.
- Your sending school calculates your trimester or semester grades, not the CTC. Also, your
sending school makes the final determination for credit, not the CTC.
