Student can perform how to set ignition timing use service manuals proper tools and equipment.

What we found:

The result of evaluation from the shop supervisor showed 100% passed on this VTM – 150 Cooperative Educations, where in 50% got “B” and the other 50% got “C”. Competency will be demonstrated through work report to be submitted by student and countersign by workplace supervisor and evaluation form filled up by workplace supervisor.

What we are planning to work on:

• Provide more time for students practical to developed more knowledge and skills in automotive technology.
• Students provided set of PPE (personal protective equipment) when they select job site for apprenticeship or On The Job Training (O.J.T)
• Student should have insurance like health and accident insurance before taking on the job training.
• Students should have own tools before taking on the job training.
• Students should understand time management skills.
• Shop owners should provides student meals or transportation allowance for consideration due to heavy work.

Recommendations for students:

Students must follow the Motor Vehicle Mechanic Program suggested schedule in the COM-FSM General Catalog in order to complete their study in a timely matter. Students enrolled in this program, as their major of study must remain on it until completing. Student hands on should be longer than 180 hours training session to improve more knowledge and skills in automotive trade. Every student should have insurance before taking this class, personal tools and equipment for practical purposes.

Program Review (Pohnpei Campus)

AP Full Official:Certificate of Achievement in Career Education with Emphasis on Motor Vehicle Mechanics

Campus: Pohnpei Campus

Completed by: Nestor Mangubat

AP Review Submission Date:March 2014

AR Review Cycle: AY- 2011-2013

1. Program Goals

   This program is designed to develop an understanding of the basic purpose, construction, operation and service of component parts and assemblies of an automobile. Students will develop the knowledge and skills required to disassemble, inspect, reassemble and perform basic repairs and maintenance on motor vehicle units and components. Based on the common program learning outcomes from the various sections of the career education, the following are its goals and objectives:

   1. Identify safety and occupational health requirements in the specific trade area being studied.
   2. Use competently specified hand and power tools.
   3. Read and interpret information from technical drawings related to the respective trade.
   4. Perform hand skills in their respective trades.
   5. Participate in the respective trade.

2. Program History

   Fall Semester 2005, Spring 2006, Summer 2006-first program offering;
   Fall 2006-was not offered to pave way for offering of new program-Small Engine Equipment &
   Outboard Motor Repair;
   Fall 2007-this program was offered from then on

   Course outlines were made following the program learning objectives under the Certificate of Achievement in Career Education, which already existed in the COM-FSM catalogue. It was designed to have a maximum student seating of ten (10). There were ten (10) first batch of students during Fall 2005.

   Significant milestones / current activities:

   Since its implementation, students were involved in various activities such as repairs and maintenance services of vehicles given to vehicle owners from the local community and college faculty and staff including college vehicles and fabrication of trainers that were shown during the annual Technology & Trade Exhibit done since 2007 up to the present. During its maiden year, a move was made to initiate support from the public to donate their used cars for students to work on. Generous donors answered the call and the college received six (6) donor cars that were dismantled by the students and work-study groups. These assemblies and components were made as lab. trainers for students.

   The United States Department of Agriculture (Pohnpei) donated one Toyota Pick
   -Up for students learning and college use in the year 2011. Students repaired the vehicle and now used as college transport at Pohnpie campus. In spring 2013 Mr. Robert Orosco a Filipino, donated one diesel engine for student practical hands on. In fall 2013 Mr. Mangubat and work-study student made other training mock up one Nissan engine with complete accessories they get it from junkyard at Nett’s Area. In summer with my student at vtm-103 make another electrical mock- up for practical activity on auto-electricity those mock –up give an advantage in terms of actual activity they align it what topic we discussed on the classroom. Student should emphasized more on practical hands on, add more time for practical activity to developed student learning experience in motor vehicle mechanic.

3. Program Description

9. Analysis and Recommendation

   Finding
   This section provides discussion of information discovered as a result of the evaluation such as problems or concerns with the program and what part of the program is working well and meeting expectation.

   Program Review 2012-2013 Findings are the following:
   

   1. Lack of tools and equipment for hands on.
   2. Lack of PPE-Personal Safety Equipment and school uniform.
   3. Lack of willingness and persistence of the students.
   4. Every semester encounter scarcity of financial resources and this can be found in findings of each CSLO.

   Recommendation:

   This section provides recommendations from the program on what to do to improve or enhance the quality of program and course learning outcomes as well as program goals and objectives. This section should also include suggestions that describe how the program might be able to create opportunities for a better program in the future. Some examples are exploring alternate delivery mechanisms, forming external partnerships, or realigning with other programs.

   Program Review 2012-2013 Recommendation are the following:
   

   1. Replace BU-97 change to VWE-115 general welding.
   2. Incorporate welding for auto-mechanic major course and also car air-condition system
   3. Seek third party certification for automotive student.
   4. Developed strong partnership to look for grant for donation of tools and equipment.
   5. Improvement of training equipment including electronic fuel injection system and diesel engine system for student practical.
   6. More time for actual activity, finish the general requirement before taking the major courses in automotive program.
   7. Instructor should be updated with the seminar and workshop from outside or off island seminar to improve the program.
