Within the LJ AutoLAB range we have a complete teaching package for hybrid and electric vehicles. Designed to provide a safe alternative to working on “live” vehicles, our unique simulator panel provides students with the opportunity to undertake a series of realistic service and diagnostics tasks.

The hardware is provided in the form of a computer-linked panel trainer that simulates the operation of a Series Parallel Hybrid System. Students can investigate system operation and view the results of making changes to the system.

Mechanical and electrical power flows are displayed using moving lights. Computer inserted faults allow the student to perform troubleshooting tasks on the panel trainer.

Stored faults may be recalled by pressing a button on an in-built scan tool.

Simlog’s simulation software teaches students real skills – Just like having real heavy equipment in the classroom!

Features & Benefits:

• Built-in Instructional Designs that teach beginners essential operator skills.
• Skills development is achieved through a series of Simulation Models that progressively increase in difficulty.
• Students learn at their own pace while the simulation software objectively measures their performance.
• Aptitude can be assessed early to give students appropriate career guidance.

Student Curriculum
The student curriculum shall consist of one Learning Activity Packet set with at least 58 skills in industrial electronics. The topics shall include safety, oscilloscopes, linear and non-linear power supply components and operation, power supply filtration and regulation, solid state relays, bipolar transistor switching and amplifier circuits, discrete sensing devices and circuits, thermal sensing devices, amplifiers and OP amps, open and closed loop circuits, analog sensing devices and circuits, FET and IGBT circuits, SCR and Triac circuits, solid state switching, phase control, PWM operation, and solid state speed and power control.

The student curriculum shall be designed in a skill-based format that focuses on teaching industry relevant tasks. The objectives shall be accomplished by organizing the learning material into a series of learning activity packets, which are further subdivided into three or more segments per packet.  All learning materials needed shall be contained in the packets including text material, laboratory equipment activities, and multimedia directions.  No external text sources shall be required.  The specific cognitive skills taught by each text passage shall be identified next to the passage.  Each lab activity shall be identified by the industrial task taught.  All activities shall be highly detailed with step-by-step instructions to facilitate a self-directed learning environment.  A combination of step-by-step enabling activities and creative, problem-solving activities shall be provided.  A self-review of five to ten questions shall be provided after each segment. The curriculum must be capable of both self-directed and instructor directed study. All activities must correlate directly to the hardware supplied, with detailed illustrations and diagrams.

Teacher’s Assessment Guide

A teacher’s assessment guide shall be provided. It shall contain student data sheets, data sheet solutions, self-review answers, quizzes, quiz answers, student skill record sheets, and authentic assessment. A quiz shall be provided for each packet.  A question shall be provided in each quiz for each cognitive objective taught.  All tasks listed in the packet shall be listed on personalized student record sheets. The teacher’s assessment guide shall include directions for authentic skill assessment.

The mobile Science Cart incorporates a series of digital presentation tools linked to an on-board computer. This is loaded with a comprehensive series of science presentations and lessons that can also be supplied as SCORM-conformant packages that can be loaded on to your VLE. Using these resources, teachers are able to provide engaging lessons in Biology, Chemistry and Physics from age 11 onwards in any suitable teaching space outside of the traditional science lab.

Each of the lessons supplied covers a specific topic area and provides essential theory, hands-on practical activities and continuous student assessment.

The inclusion of a digital camera and scientific image processing software allows the teacher to conduct experiments that are projected for whole-class viewing. This can even include the examination and evaluation of specimens using the high-quality optical microscope supplied with the system. Trays of hardware for experiments are available on the cart, allowing the teacher to demonstrate activities to the whole group.

We also supply a complete range of pre-configured experiment kits presented in storage trays that are compatible with the science cart storage system. Extra trays can be kept in mobile carts or stored in racks in a technician room. You simply load your cart with the specific experiment trays you need for your lessons and it’s ready to go. Students can use laptop computers to follow the digital curriculum or they can work from printed worksheets that can be instantly generated by the teacher for the current lesson.

Active learning is known to be more effective than passive learning and we provide plenty of opportunity for hands-on experiments with the Science Cart.

Curriculum
Curriculum manual is provided in a three-ring binder, with pages contained in page protectors. Easy to follow step by step activities are highlighted using full color photographs. Once introduced to career related information ( job description, education and training requirements, job prospects, and income ranges) the student begins a hands-on work experience, using professional tools of the trade to complete projects or tasks. An audio CD follows the manual word-for-word.Pre- and post-tests, worksheets, answer sheets, and instructors guide.
