Course Overview:

This course is designed to get you familiar with HVAC, Refrigeration, Electronics and Electrical Wiring. After you take this course, you will have an advantage over other people who wish to enter into it. You will not, however be qualified to work on any of the equipment outside of the classroom. You will need further training.

Course Outline:

You will build on a series of units that will build on one another. The lessons are as follows;

1.) Safety

2.) Swaging & Flaring

3.) Tube Bending

4.) Oxy-Acetylene High Temp & Low Temp Brazing

5.) Thermal Dynamics

6.) Basic Refrigeration Systems

7.) High & Low Voltage Control Systems

8.) Pressure-Temperature Correlation

9.) Refrigerants and the Montreal Protocol

10.) Reclaim & Recovery Methods

11.) Construction, Maintenance & Trouble Shooting

12.) Home Wiring

Course Grading:

A = 92.0 to 100.0 %

A- = 90.0 to 91.9 %

B+ = 87.0 to 89.9 %

B = 82.0 to 86.9 %

B- = 80.0 to 81.9 %

C+ = 77.0 to 79.9 %

C = 72.0 to 76.9 %

C- = 70.0 to 71.9 %

F = 69.9 % and Below

There are no “D’s” – Would you like an Electrician that only gets things right 65% of the time to wire your house?

· - More than 10 absences may cause you to be ineligible to earn credit in the class.

Grading System:

1.) All Students will be required to keep a portfolio of their work. In this portfolio you will do your daily assignments as well as all lab information. It is recommended that you leave your portfolio in the classroom unless you check it out with the instructor and have his permission. This will be graded from time to time without warning. You must be able to produce your portfolio upon request. NO EXCUSES!!!

2.) Daily Point Value will be on a five-point basis (see grading policy). There are a total of 450 points per semester made available in this area of your grading. This might not seem like a lot of points, but consider this; a major test is only worth 100 points. If you are absent for any reason (excused or not) you will receive no points for the day. The exception to this is on Student Activities (i.e.-Band, Sports, ASB, etc.) or if and administrator has previously OK’d it. If you will be gone, it will be your job to notify me and the administration IN ADVANCE of your absence. You will be allowed to make up any work that you missed if your absence is excused. You will have one day from the first day that you get back, for each excused absence that you have. The exception to this is if you were in class the day the assignment was given then you will need to turn it in on the due date or the first day that you get back. Your attitude towards Mr. Veloni and to the rest of the students is and will be graded. You will be warned if your attitude is unacceptable, after that it will dig into your grade. You will be required to participate in all activities with the class. Last but not least, you will be required to have your portfolios out and ready to use by the time the bell rings everyday. Do not leave these lying around the classroom, they will get lost, stolen or thrown away.

3.) All other grades will have a point value in multiples of four. Four, eight, twelve, sixteen, etc. all assignments, labs & tests will be separate from daily point values. If you are absent from class (and it is excused) you will have one day for every day that you missed. The exception to this is if you were present when the assignment was given then it will be due on the same date as everybody else or the first day that you get back. Of course lab work will be handled differently; you can make up the lab as long as the material is still out. If it is not, then you will be allowed to make up the equivalency in points with another assignment that the instructor gives you.

4.) I am here every morning at 6:30. There is no excuse for not getting your work done. I rarely give home work and if there is something that you don’t understand, you can come in at that time for individual help. I understand that sometimes it’s intimidating to raise your hand to ask a question. I am more than willing to meet you half way, but you will need to show up. Also this is a great time to catch up on your portfolio.

Mr. Veloni’s Classroom and Shop Rules;

1.) Safety First – You will always act in a safe manner. Do not take any unnecessary risks. If you act in a careless, reckless or negligent manner, the first casualty will be your grade.

2.) Respect The Rights Of Others – There will be no ethnic, sexual or other degrading remarks, acts of innuendos. Treat others as you would like your mother to be treated.

3.) The Back Rooms Are Off Limits – Mr. Veloni’s office, the tool room or the recording studios will never be occupied by a student unless they have permission.

4.) Late Work Will Result In A Maximum Of 70% Credit – This speaks for itself; late work will result in a poor grade.

5.) Use Common Sense – You know what is right and wrong, do the right thing at all times.
