Subject: Final Project guidelines

Team leaders are responsible for their teams, to include the following...
  • proper wear of PPE (personal protective equipment)
  • ensure group members remain on task, chromebooks will be used for research
  • members are working well together 
  • assigning or delegating tasks
​

Student Learning Objectives:  
  • Determine the cause of a non-running engine by using a diagnostic algorithm
  • Identify the element(s) that are not present or out of tolerance
  • Apply the skills and knowledge gained throughout course  to make the engine function
  • Thoroughly document troubleshooting, diagnosis and repair.
    This should include an engine specification sheet, parts ordering, etc.


  • Define the problem
Students are divided into small groups of no more than four (this will vary upon class size).  Student groups will be given an unknown engine with unknown problems.  Students will use resources provided to determine the issue for the non-running engine.  Groups may request other resources, but must submit a request to the instructor.
  • Name the main element which is preventing the engine from running.
    • There will/may be multiple issues
      • Compression
      • Fuel
      • Ignition
  • Within those elements correctly name the components that are preventing the engine from running.  Write out a procedure to fix the problem.
  • For example, No Compression (give the PSI rating).  The exhaust valve is stuck open.
  • Procedure
    • Remove shroud and recoil
    • Remove exhaust system
    • Remove head bolts in sequence
    • Document where are parts have come from
    • Remove head gasket and mark orientation
  • If a part is required it must be requested in written format to the instructor.  The instructor will evaluate the necessity of the part and order at the discretion of the instructor.
There will be limited or no assistance from the instructor.

How will this be judged?
Students will complete a self and peer evaluation of their performance.
Does the engine run?
Communication (written and verbal documentation)
Students will also be assessed on the written and verbal communication.
This will include all correspondence requesting parts.
Communication between group members

Team work
How well did the team work together?
Were there issues that needed to be resolved by the instructor?
How did they complete their peer evaluation?

Wait until engine has cooled before performing maintenance
Procedure
Day 0 (Tuesday)
    Leadership
    Draft pick, Team selection
    Roles identified documented (who does what)

Day 1 (Monday 
    Introduction to the problem
    Team member roles identified
    A plan is formed and documented
    Engine diagnostics begins
    Engine disassembly and documentation (use your phones to take pictures)
    Part identification and research for cheapest distributor
    Order parts if possible (through instructor)

Day2 (Tuesday)
    Peer and self evaluation forms presented
    Role identification and how each should be pursued (treat this like a job)
    
Continue to diagnose problems and document

    All parts must be ordered by the end of day 2

Day 3 (Wednesday)
    Assembly should begin or continue
    Last chance to order parts that were missed

Day 4 (Thursday)
Assembly continues
Begin to test engine

Day 5 (Friday)
    Peer evaluations
    Teams evaluations
    Self evaluations
    Donuts?
