    SECTION 2 INTRODUCTION TO F.A.C.E.T CURRICULUM

    Overview F.A.C.E.T curriculum is multimedia-based courseware. The curriculum gives students hands-on

    experience using equipment and software closely associated with industry standards. It provides

    students with opportunities for instruction in academic and technical skills.

    All courses are activity-driven curricula. Each course consists of several units containing two or

    more exercises. Each unit begins with a statement explaining the overall goal of the unit (Unit

    Objective). This is followed by Unit Fundamentals. Next is a list of new terms and words then

    the equipment required for the unit. The exercises follow the unit material. When students

    complete all the exercises, they complete the Troubleshooting section and take the Unit Test.

    The exercises consist of an exercise objective, exercise discussion, and exercise procedures. The

    Exercise Conclusions section provides the students with a list of their achievements. Every

    exercise concludes with Review Questions. Available circuit modifications (CMs) and faults are

    listed after the review questions. Additional specific information on CMs and faults is available

    in Appendix B.

    Assessing Progress

    Assessment Tools

    Student assessment is achieved in several ways:

    Exercise questions Unit tests Pretest and Posttest Troubleshooting questions

    Exercise and Troubleshooting Questions

    Throughout the unit material, exercise discussion, exercise procedure, and troubleshooting

    sections there are several types of questions with instant feedback. These questions occur in the

    following formats:

    Multiple choice True-false Real-number entry

    In most cases, when your students encounter a question set, they must answer these questions

    before continuing. However, there are cases where students may progress to the next screen

    without answering the questions. Lab-Volt recommends that you encourage your students to

    complete all questions. In this way, students reinforce the material that's presented, verify that

    they understand this material, and are empowered to decide if a review of this material is

    required.

    Review Questions

    At the end of each exercise, there are review questions. The student receives feedback with each

    entry. Feedback guides the student toward the correct answer.

    Unit Tests

    A unit test appears at the end of each unit. The test consists of 10 multiple-choice questions with

    the option of having feedback. The Tech-Lab System defaults to no feedback, but the instructor

    can configure the test so that students receive feedback after taking the test. You can randomize

    questions in the unit test. Use the Tech-Lab Global Configurator to make feedback available,

    randomize questions, and select other configuration options if desired. Refer to the Tech Lab

    Quick-Start Guide for detailed information.

  • AC1 Fundamentals Section 2 Introduction to F.A.C.E.T Curriculum

    2-7

    Pretest and Posttest

    Every course includes a pretest and a posttest. These are multiple choice tests. Refer to the Tech

    Lab Quick-Start Guide for detailed information on how to record student competency gains.

    Grading

    Student grades are based on exercise questions, troubleshooting questions, a unit test, and a

    posttest. The default weighting value of the unit test and the threshold for passing the unit test

    can be adjusted by using the Global Configurator of the Tech-Lab System. Refer to the Tech Lab

    Quick-Start Guide for detailed information.

    Student Progress and Instructor Feedback

    Unit progress is available through the Unit menu. The Progress window allows the instructor and

    student to view the percentage of the unit completed, number of sessions, and time spent on that

    unit. The Progress window shows whether the Unit Test was completed. If the test was

    completed, it indicates whether the student passed based on the scoring criteria.

    Real-Number Questions and Answers

    Throughout F.A.C.E.T courses students may encounter real-number questions such as the one

    shown below. Answers to real-number questions are graded correct if they fall within an

    acceptable tolerance range.

    The answer to the question posed in the illustration above does not involve a recall value from a

    previous question. It appears in the Instructor Guide (IG) as shown in the box below.

    The information in the IG tells you where the question is located and the range of acceptable

    answers. In this case, the acceptable answers fall within the range of the nominal answer plus or

    minus 5 percent tolerance: (15 5%).

    Location: Exercise Procedure page:

    se1p1, Question ID: e1p1a

    VS = Vdc

    Recall Label for this Question: V1

    Nominal Answer: 15.0

    Min/Max Value: (14.25) to (15.75)

    Value Calculation: 15.000

    Correct Tolerance Percent = true

    Correct Minus Tolerance = 5

    Correct Plus Tolerance = 5

    This is the name the computer uses internally

    to identify the input value. In this case, 14.5

    will be stored under the name V1.

    NOTE: The recall value V1 is not the same as

    the voltage V1. The recall label does not

    appear onscreen.

    In this case, the answer to this question is not

    based on a value recalled from a previous

    question. Therefore, the Value Calculation is

    equal to the Nominal Answer.

    The word "true" tells you that the tolerance is

    calculated as a percent.

    e1p1 stands for

    Exercise 1 Procedure screen 1

    The computer

    saves this input

    value so that it can

    be recalled for use

    in later questions.

  • AC1 Fundamentals Section 2 Introduction to F.A.C.E.T Curriculum

    2-9

    A second example (shown below) illustrates an answer that the computer grades using a value

    recalled from a previous question.

    When a real-number question is based on a recall value from a previous question, the Min/Max

    Value shown in the Instructor Guide is based upon a calculation using the lowest and highest

    possible recall value. It represents the theoretical range of answers that could be accepted by the

    computer. (It is not the nominal answer plus or minus the tolerance.)

    To find the actual range of answers that the computer will accept onscreen, you must use the

    actual recall value (14.5 in this example) in your calculations; see below.

    NOTE: After four incorrect answers, students will be prompted to press to insert the

    correct answer if this feature has been enabled in the configuration settings. When the question is

    based on a value recalled from a previous question, answers obtained using the Insert key may

    not match the nominal answers in this guide.

    Location: Exercise Procedure page:

    se1p5, Question ID: e1p5c

    IT = mA

    Recall Label for this Question: I1

    Nominal Answer: 9.091 *Min/Max Value: (6.477) to (11.93)

    Value Calculation: #V1#/1650*1000

    Correct Tolerance Percent = true

    Correct Minus Tolerance = 25

    Correct Plus Tolerance = 25

    Since the value for #V1# is 14.5, the

    computer will accept answers in the

    following range as correct:

    14.5/1650*1000 25% or

    8.79 25% or

    6.59 to 10.99

    This calculated range is different from the

    Safety

    Safety is everyones responsibility. All must cooperate to create the safest possible working

    environment. Students must be reminded of the potential for harm, given common sense safety

    rules, and instructed to follow the electrical safety rules.

    Any environment can be hazardous when it is unfamiliar. The F.A.C.E.T computer-based

    laboratory may be a new environment to some students. Instruct students in the proper use of the

    F.A.C.E.T equipment and explain what behavior is expected of them in this laboratory. It is up to

    the instructor to provide the necessary introduction to the learning environment and the

    equipment. This task will prevent injury to both student and equipment.

    The voltage and current used in the F.A.C.E.T Computer-Based Laboratory are, in themselves,

    harmless to the normal, healthy person. However, an electrical shock coming as a surprise will

    be uncomfortable and may cause a reaction that could create injury. The students should be made

    aware of the following electrical safety rules.

    1. Turn off the power before working on a circuit.

    2. Always confirm that the circuit is wired correctly before turning on the power. If required,

    have your instructor check your circuit wiring.

    3. Perform the experiments as you are instructed: do not deviate from the documentation.

    4. Never touch live wires with your bare hands or with tools.

    5. Always hold test leads by their insulated areas.

    6. Be aware that some components can become very hot during operation. (However, this is not

    a normal condition for your F.A.C.E.T. course equipment.) Always allow time for the

    components to cool before proceeding to touch or remove them from the circuit.

    7. Do not work without supervision. Be sure someone is nearby to shut off the power and

    provide first aid in case of an accident.

    8. Remove power cords by the plug, not by pulling on the cord. Check for cracked or broken

    insulation on the cord.

    NEW TERMS AND WORDS

    inductance (L) - one property of a conductor that opposes change in current flow.

    counter electromotive force (cemf) - a voltage developed in an inductive circuit by alternating

    current. The polarity of this voltage is, at every instant, opposite to that of the applied voltage.

    inductor - a conductor, usually a coil of wire, wound to concentrate its magnetic field, which

    produces a predicted measure of inductance.

    henry (H) - unit of inductance. An inductance of one henry will produce one volt of cemf when

    ac current of one ampere at one hertz is applied.
