SUBJECT APPROACH

Automobile is the fast developing engineering segment all over theworld. It gives a wide range of job opportunities. The Indianautomobile industry is amongst the largest automobile market in theworld. It is up-and-coming as one of the fastest growing passenger carmarket. It is also the second largest two wheeler manufacturer countryin the world. India is also the fifth largest commercial vehiclemanufacturer.

This syllabus, for automobile Technology course in Vocational HigherSecondary Schools is prepared by State Council of EducationalResearch and Training (SCERT). Head of schools, Vocational Teachers,Instructors, Industrial Experts, Subject Experts and CurriculumCommittee Members.

This subject aims at helping students to understand and aware wheretechnology is applied in the field of automobile. Students will be givenopportunities to learn the concept and knowledge in the technologicalworld and to build up technical capability through learning activities.The area of learning provided in the subject should not be confined notonly to the local automobile sales and repair but also provide self-employment and vertical mobility in the field concerned.

For smooth implementation of subject additional resources will beprocured to support the teaching and learning activities. A well-equipped automobile workshop with sophisticated equipments andtools are essential for it. This syllabus is prepared to cop up with level3 and 4 of NSQF (National Skill Qualification Framework). The contentand the time duration for theory and practical works are provided asper NSQF norms. It helps our students to compete with internationalcommunity.

Aims of the course

The new syllabus should enable the students to:1. Acquire knowledge and understand the technology, related to

contemporary automobile industry.2. Initiate ideas creatively and develop the idea as potential

solutions to problems with the use of their knowledge andexperience.

3. Explain and evaluate various constructions and functions ofautomobile, and apply the knowledge to practical fault-findingand diagnostic situation.

Page 4: ABOUT THE COURSE - KeralaLinkages with industry Linking territory institutions to industries is inevitable. We are adopting school based vocational education. The institution must

AUTOMOBILE TECHNOLOGY

4. Develop the construction, maintenance, repair and technologicalcapability through the process of investigation, planning,execution and evaluation in an orderly and effective manner.

5. Develop communication skill to interpret and present ideasthrough oral, written and other media.

6. Exercise value judgment regarding the social, economic andenvironmental implication of automobile technology and industryin the society.

7. Transfer and apply the knowledge and concept gained in othersimilar contest.

8. Be aware of road safety and traffic rules.9. Be aware of health and safety measures in operations

Linkages with industry

Linking territory institutions to industries is inevitable. We areadopting school based vocational education. The institution must havea partner to help for finding solutions and this can be accomplished onlyby developing linkage with industries. So that they can survive andaccomplish their intended goals of providing the skilled man powerneeds of the country.

The department of Vocational Higher Secondary Education should takeinitiative to make an MOU between government and industry. Regionallevel officer should be there to ensure the smooth conduct of industrylinkage program. Our new curriculum proposes to conduct four weekon the job training during the course. So a systematic well-structuredindustry linkage program is essential.

Entrepreneurial values

One of the major objectives of the vocational Higher SecondaryEducation is self-employment. In the automobile Technology sector wehave ample opportunities for it. The students learn basic technologiesof automobile and acquire vocational skills through practical classes.More over four weeks On the Job Training enable them to be a goodTechnician. The students also master entrepreneurial skill when theylearn the subject "Entrepreneurship Development" during the 2 yearcourse. This subject helps them to acquire communicative skills andsoft skills. The government of Kerala has launched "Kerala StateEntrepreneur Development Mission (KSEDM) for inculcatingentrepreneurial confidence among the youth of the state. Thusprograms from different agencies will help our students to become goodentrepreneurs.

As far as automobile technology course is concerned, it is not muchdifficult to find institutions for On the Job training. In most of thelocalities, it is easy to find well equipped automobile workshops.Anyway in some rural areas it is difficult to facilitate institutions as theyare far from the school. The department of Vocational Higher Secondaryshould take initiation to make an MOU between Govt. and industriesin this regards. KSRTC, Defense sector and various reputed vehicledealers etc. should come under this agreement. The depart is planningto conduct in the first year two weeks and in the second year two week,(altogether four weeks) during the two year course. It can be conduct oneweek after the completion of each module or two weeks in first andsecond year. The time of the OJT can be fixed as per the decision of theSRG

OVERVIEW

This unit deals with the basic concept and definitions of automobile.Students from different schools, most of them will not have any technicalbackground. In their perception it is a new subject. So a basic conceptof automobile engineering has to give. Moreover to create and toimprove the aptitude to study the subject, more motivational strategieshas to impart on them. This unit fulfills all these basic needs.
