Complex Overt
Response
Objective: By the end of this lesson, given information about automotive relays and their related circuits, each student will troubleshoot the root cause of a simulated melted relay box and recommend the appropriate repair by isolating the high current draw circuit.
Evaluation tool:
Troubleshoot a simulated melted relay box on the demonstration board, isolating the high current draw circuit and recommending the appropriate repair.
Adaptation
Objective: By the end of this lesson, given information about automotive relays and their related circuits, each student will wire in a replacement relay in place of a (simulated) damaged factory relay box, such that the circuit will function satisfactorily.
Evaluation tool:
Wire in a relay separate from the existing relay on the demonstration board.
Origination
Objective: By the end of this lesson, given information about automotive relays and their related circuits, each student will analyze pattern failures in factory solid state circuits, designing and constructing a replacement, relay-based, analog circuit that will function with reliability and improved longevity.
Evaluation tool:
Research a pattern failure solid state circuit; design and construct a wiring and relay circuit capable of replacing the solid state circuit with a higher degree of longevity and reliability.
