Small Engines

Small Engines

Over the next semester we will be learning the theories and operation of 2 and 4 stroke engines. As well as basic engine maintenance, troubleshooting techniques, tool identification and usage, engine disassembly, failure analysis, precision measurement, and engine reassembly. As well as careers and concepts of power and energy will be covered. In doing this we will have some paper work, some hands on work, and a lot of fun!

All tests and assignments done in this class will be assigned points. At the end of the term all the points will be totaled up and graded according default grading scale in skyward. Mr. Dorn reserves the right to alter any grades as necessary to ensure that safety and morale are rewarded

Each student is expected to participate and treat each other and shop materials with respect. Attendance is crucial to succeed, as hands on activities will be a bulk of your grade. There is zero tolerance for cheating. If there is a lack of respect or a discipline problem, parents will be contacted and further consequences will occur, as well as Mr. Dorn reserves the right to do whatever is needed to ensure the safety of everyone. Students may be removed from the class for extreme behavior, and removal from one Tech Ed class may result in the removal from all Tech Ed classes.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
