This is a Hybrid Class:
A hybrid car runs on two power sources; a gasoline engine, and an electric motor.
A hybrid class runs on two learning sources; out-of-class study and in-class activities.
A Hybrid course works best when you constantly use both learning sources.
The first learning source requires you to spend 3 to 5 hours per week with out-of-class study researching and participating in on-line tasks and discussions about lab scope diagnostics. You can use the LBCC Automotive Shop each Wednesday and Friday afternoon for your out-of-class study.
The second learning source requires discussing and experimenting with the lab scope in class every Monday afternoon from 1:00 – 2:50 in IA-116.
With no gasoline, a hybrid car will soon stop running. If there is no out-of-class study a hybrid class student will soon stop learning.
Course Outcomes:
If you are successful in this class you will be able to:
#1 Diagnose electronically controlled vehicle systems using a Lab Scope.
#2 Use online learning to advance your knowledge of automotive technology.
Course Description:
This class introduces lab scope diagnostics and helps you develop skills for future learning about automotive technology once you have graduated from LBCC. Most of the learning tasks will be presented over the internet and require you to practice a variety of learning tools used by professional automotive technicians. Each Monday afternoon you will apply what you have learned outside of class to diagnose automotive systems using the Labscope. This hybrid course requires at least 3 to 5 additional hours between each weekly class meeting.
Learning Tools:
Your most reliable learning tool is time spent researching and practicing the lab-scope. The Snapon Verus and Vantage Pro are excellent learning tools that will provide answers the Online Learning Tasks. Textbooks that explain computer systems, sensors and actuators are available in the automotive classroom. Many resources are available in the Moodle website for Labscope Diagnostics. The LBCC extended learning centers (in Corvallis, Lebanon & Sweet Home) have computer labs available for your use.

B = Apprentice performance in labscope patterns, online learning tasks, and independent learning
C = Apprentice performance with labscope patterns and your choice of online learning tasks or
independent learning
OR Technician level performance with collecting and interpreting labscope patterns.
D = Apprentice level performance with collecting and interpreting labscope patterns
F = Below Apprentice level performance for collecting and interpreting labscope patterns
I = Incomplete grades are available with a written student contract.
Y = Y grade is given to those attending less than 4 of the 10 lab sessions.
