Secondary Outboard Marine Engine Mechanics
Foreword
Secondary vocational-technical education programs in Mississippi are faced with many
challenges resulting from sweeping educational reforms at the national and state levels. Schools
and teachers are increasingly being held accountable for providing true learning activities to
every student in the classroom. This accountability is measured through increased requirements
for mastery and attainment of competency as documented through both formative and summative
assessments.
The courses in this document reflect the statutory requirements as found in Section 37-3-49,
Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended (Section 37-3-46). In addition, this curriculum reflects
guidelines imposed by federal and state mandates (Laws, 1988, ch. 487, §14; Laws, 1991, ch.
423, §1; Laws, 1992, ch. 519, §4 eff. from and after July 1, 1992; Carl D. Perkins Vocational
Education Act III, 1998; and No Child Left Behind Act of 2001).
Each secondary vocational-technical course consists of a series of instructional units which focus
on a common theme. All units have been written using a common format which includes the
following components:
• Unit Number and Title
• Suggested Time on Task - An estimated number of clock hours of instruction that should be
required to teach the competencies and objectives of the unit. A minimum of 140 hours of
instruction is required for each Carnegie unit credit. The curriculum framework should
account for approximately 75-80 percent of the time in the course.
• Competencies and Suggested Objectives
• A competency represents a general concept or performance that students are expected to
master as a requirement for satisfactorily completing a unit. Students will be expected to
receive instruction on all competencies.
• The suggested objectives represent the enabling and supporting knowledge and
performances that will indicate mastery of the competency at the course level.
• Suggested Teaching Strategies - This section of each unit indicates strategies that can be used
to enable students to master each competency. Emphasis has been placed on strategies which
reflect active learning methodologies. Teachers should feel free to modify or enhance these
suggestions based on needs of their students and resources available in order to provide
optimum learning experiences for their students.
• Suggested Assessment Strategies - This section indicates strategies that can be used to
measure student mastery. Examples of suggested strategies could include rubrics, class
participation, reflection, and journaling. Again, teachers should feel free to modify or
enhance these suggested assessment strategies based on local needs and resources.
Secondary Outboard Marine Engine Mechanics
• Integrated Academic Topics, Workplace Skills, Technology Standards, and Occupational
Standards - This section identifies related academic topics as required in the Subject Area
Assessment Program (SATP) in Algebra I, Biology I, English II, and U. S. History from
1877, which are integrated into the content of the unit. It also identifies the general
workplace skills as identified in the Secretary’s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills
(SCANS) report as being critical for all workers in the 21st Century. In addition, national
technology standards and occupational skills standards associated with the competencies and
suggested objectives for the unit are also identified.
• References - A list of suggested references is provided for each unit. The list includes some
of the primary instructional resources that may be used to teach the competencies and
suggested objectives. Again, these resources are suggested and the list may be modified or
enhanced based on needs and abilities of students and on available resources.

Program Description
Outboard Marine Engine Mechanics is an instructional program that provides students with basic
skills related to the care, service, and repair of outboard marine engines. Students receive
instruction related to safety, tools and equipment, fasteners, measurement, engine identification,
basic electrical, engine principles and design cooling systems, lubrication systems, fuel and
carburetor systems, shop management, mechanical remote control assembly, propeller and trim,
mechanical gearcase, advanced fuel systems, advanced carburetion, ignition systems, and engine
overhaul. The program also prepares students for advanced study at the postsecondary level in
Marine Engine Mechanics (Gasoline). This program was written to include the Equipment &
Engine Training Council’s Standards for 2- & 4-Stroke Gasoline Engines.
Industry standards are based on the Equipment & Engine Training Council, OPE Category 1, 2-
and 4-Stroke Cycle Gasoline Engine Standards.
