Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024
(a) General requirements. This course is
recommended for students in Grades 11 and 12 as a corequisite course for
students participating in a coherent sequence of career and technical education
courses in the Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics Career Cluster. This
course provides an enhancement opportunity for students to develop the
additional skills necessary to pursue industry certification. Recommended
prerequisite: a minimum of one credit from the courses in the Transportation,
Distribution, and Logistics Career Cluster. Corequisites: Automotive Technology
II: Automotive Services, Diesel Equipment Technology II, Collision Repair,
Paint and Refinishing, Aircraft Airframe Technology, or Aircraft Powerplant
Technology. This course must be taken concurrently with a corequisite course
and may not be taken as a stand-alone course. Districts are encouraged to offer
this lab in a consecutive block with the corequisite course to allow students
sufficient time to master the content of both courses. Students shall be
awarded one credit for successful completion of this course.
(b) Introduction.
(1) Career and technical education
instruction provides content aligned with challenging academic standards and
relevant technical knowledge and skills for students to further their education
and succeed in current or emerging professions.
(2) The Transportation, Distribution, and
Logistics Career Cluster focuses on planning, management, and movement of
people, materials, and goods by road, pipeline, air, rail, and water and
related professional support services such as transportation infrastructure
planning and management, logistics services, mobile equipment, and facility
maintenance.
(3) Advanced
Transportation Systems Laboratory provides the opportunity to extend knowledge
of the major transportation systems and the principles of diagnosing and
servicing these systems. Topics in this course may include alternative fuels
such as hybrid, bio diesel, hydrogen, compressed natural gas (CNG), liquidized
natural gas (LNG), propane, and solar; total electric vehicles and power
trains; advanced transportation systems such as collision avoidance,
telematics, vehicle stability control, navigation, vehicle-to-vehicle
communications; and other technologies. This study will allow students to have
an increased understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
in all aspects of these systems. This will reinforce, apply, and transfer
academic knowledge and skills to a variety of relevant activities, problems,
and settings.
(4) Students are
encouraged to participate in extended learning experiences such as career and
technical student organizations and other leadership or extracurricular
organizations.
(5) Statements that
contain the word "including" reference content that must be mastered, while
those containing the phrase "such as" are intended as possible illustrative
examples.
(c) Knowledge
and skills.
(1) The student demonstrates
professional standards/employability skills as required by business and
industry. The student is expected to:
(A)
demonstrate knowledge of the technical knowledge and skills related to health
and safety in the workplace such as safety glasses and other personal
protective equipment (PPE) and safety data sheets (SDS);
(B) identify employment opportunities,
including entrepreneurship opportunities and internships, and
industry-recognized certification requirements in the transportation field of
study;
(C) demonstrate the
principles of group participation, team concept, and leadership related to
citizenship and career preparation;
(D) apply competencies related to resources,
information, interpersonal skills, problem solving, critical thinking, and
systems of operation in the transportation industry;
(E) discuss certification
opportunities;
(F) discuss response
plans to emergency situations;
(G)
identify employers' expectations and appropriate work habits, ethical conduct,
legal responsibilities, and good citizenship skills; and
(H) develop personal goals, objectives, and
strategies as part of a plan for future career and educational
opportunities.
(2) The
student demonstrates an understanding of the technical knowledge and skills
that form the core of knowledge of transportation services. The student is
expected to:
(A) extend knowledge of new and
emerging transportation technologies related to the corequisite course and its
industry such as hybrid, avionics, unmanned aerial systems, collision
avoidance, and light duty diesel systems;
(B) demonstrate advanced technical skills
related to the corequisite course and its industry;
(C) demonstrate an understanding of the use
of advanced tools and equipment; and
(D) demonstrate an understanding of research
and development in the transportation industry of the corequisite
course.
(3) The student
develops an elevated aptitude for the essential knowledge and skills listed for
the corequisite course. The student is expected to:
(A) demonstrate deeper understanding of the
corequisite course;
(B) develop
hands-on skills at an industry-accepted standard; and
(C) exhibit progress toward achieving
industry-recognized documentation of specific expertise in a transportation
field or skill.
