| (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.
