Goals, objectives, and activities
This grant will be used to make a drive line trainer to provide students with the knowledge and hands on skills needed to be competent in the workplace. Students will be able to define all the drive line parts and develop the skills needed to further themselves in successfully rebuilding components such as hydraulic systems, rear axles systems, brake systems and suspension and steering of mechanical vehicles.In conclusion, students will take a self-assessment to prove their ability and knowledge of subject matter.
( See Attachment Below)
How will the project be evaluated (e.g. how will you gauge its success)
The project will be evaluated by providing a practical hands-on demonstration on the trainer, encompassing Mass State Frameworks outlined in the chapter 74 program.
Students will be tested in : hydraulics, power train diagnostics,brake systems, electrical and fastening systems (e.g. see attachment below)
Benefit to the students and the school
Students who are interested in engineering, fabrication, electrical , marine and auto tech electives will benefit most from this trainer . In addition the trainer could also help provide a means of a visual aid to help students with learning challenges meet their goals and instill confidence in their ability to become confident employees in their profession.
Budget (Please detail how funding will be used. Itemize as appropriate.)
The budget for this project will not exceed $500 dollars.
$150.00 for the metals used to fabricate the project including wheels
$100.00 for the need of hydraulic parts to construct a hydraulic system
$250 for used parts such as, a rear axle,steering and brake components
Timeline of Project (when will you do the project, if applicable.)
If grant money is received in winter, the project will continue and progress into spring to have a finish date in mid June .
