Chapter I
INTRODUCTION
Air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration curriculums have

been offered by North Carolina technical institutes
and community
colleges since their establishment as industrial education
centers
in 1958.
Both the diploma and degree curriculums have been offered
to meet the growing need in the state for personnel
trained in the air
conditioning, heating, and refrigeration fields.
With new and more sophisticated equipment, changes
in the ernphasis of the industry., and emerging concerns for
energy conservation,
employers and instructors have expressed the need for a more up-todate curriculum. Meetings were held to discuss
the concerns of employers and instructors.
The interest'of emOloyers and instructors at
these meetings resulted in a curriculum committee
being formed to
determine educational needs for persons to be employed'in the air_Conditioning, heating; and refrigeration fields in the state. At-the
time the Program Development Section was negotiating with
the Energy
DiVision of the NC DepartMent of GOmmerce to develop short
course and
curriculum materials that could be used to teach energy
conservationconcepts in community colleges and.techOcal institutes.
Funds were
made available by the Energy Division to help identify and develop
energy conservation skills in this curriculum. A mode for curriculum
development was based on the competency-based curriculum project, already initiated by the Department of Community Colleges at the time.
Presentations were made to instructors and employers to explain

the approach to curriculum development to be used in the project and
to solicit their assistance.
A competency committee of instructors'
and employers was formed to assist in the project.
The committee
compiled information to make a job need survey and a task survey of
industry. The committee reviewed all
responses from the two surveys
to determine the job levels and tasks required. Using the results of
these surveys the committee was able to review the existing state
curriculum guide, recommend modifications to. update the content, define
performance levels within the curriculum, propqse possible early skills
development approachs, define performance criteria, and work with industry to outline job exit levels related to the types of skills developed in the'educational program.
The committee's activities resulted in an updated curriculum that
includes:
1.
A niodel curriculum guide and course outline for the diploma

air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration curriculum (V024)
,
2.
Exit performance levels within the curriculum compatible

with Dictionary of Occupational .Titles (D.O.T.) job categories.

3.
Suggested lab experiences and instructional resources Tor

Tasks and competenciet) by job level and by quarter.
5.
Structure of progrmi content to provide employable skills

at intermediate levels within the diploma and degree programs.
This manual provides information developed to support institutions

wishing to implement the revised curriculum.
Emphasis of, the manual is
on Lhe software needei to implement the revisions.
In addition to curriculum guides, course outlines and equipment lists, the manual includes
job 6escriptions, job competencies, and performance objectives for the
air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration curriculums. This information can be used, in helping focus the instructional activities of the
curriculum:
It can also be used to determine both the advanced placement of students with prior experience or education in the air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration field and the employable skills of early
leaVers.
The air conditioning, heating and refrigeration curriculum materials

have been reviewed and distussed in a statewide meeting of instructors
with famorable consensus at the meeting. The consensus of these comments
is included in the manual.

If the institution decides
its existing curriculum to the new format.
to offer curriculums for which it is not presently approved, a new curriculum application will be necessary.
Curriculum Design
The air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration curriculum model
is designed as a program with emphasis on the development of specific
skills related to employment in the field.
Content has been arran9ed to
provide for the development of increasing levels of skills as the'student
progresses in the program. General skills are taught in the first quarter to familiarize the student with basic principles and the operation
of equipment used for heating and cooling. During the second quarter the
student will study the basics of electricity and should become more proficient in skills related to refrigeration systems. The third quarter,
concentrates on air conditioning, automatic controls, and basic welding
skills. The fourth quarter covers all year comfort systems, duct construction, and servicing skills that the student will need in working
as a mechanic. Energy conservation topcis have been integrated within
the curriculum throughout to provide the necessary awareness and skill
to implement,energyconservation practices into the employment situation.
Related courses have been included in the mechanic curriculum to
support the knowledge and skills required by job level as indicated
by employers.
In addition to communication skills, courses in blueprint
reading, math, metallurgy, welding, and applied science are included.
Levels-of performance have been described with job titles, performance
objectives, competency statements and evaluative criteria to help identify
educational and job entry and exit points. Job descriptions have been provided.
These statements can be used to describe the educational experiences
recommended for students prior to completion of levels within the curriculum.
It is recommended that these statements be reviewed and refined by the
local advisory committee to assist the institution in meeting local manpower
needs.
Further assistance might be provided by the local advisory committee
in reviewing tasks, competencies, and instructional and performance objectives to determine if all identified skills should be taught as described.
Instructional materials provided in the manual include course outlines,
task lists (by job and educational level), task analyses, competencies, and
evaluative criteria, texts and references. Course outlines include instructional objectives, content outline, activity experiences, performance objectives and suggested texts.
Task lists are organized by content areas and
are cross referenced by suggested job and educational levels. Task analyses
include skill, knowledge, attitude motivators, competencies and evaluative
criteria.
Texts and references include standard textbooks,, industrial materials, and curriculum materials from other sources.
Faculty
The effectiveness of any program depends largely upon the competence

and enthusiasm of the instructional staff. The specialized nature of the
air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration program and high degree of
'shop skills required necessitate that the instructor have an educational
background in the field as well as experience as a service technician, contractor, owner, or designer. Other related vocational experience should
also be considered. The number of faculty and qualifications for each
faculty member should-be sufficient to implement the curriculum design and
accomplish the objective(s) of the program.
3
13
The teaching lodd of the dir conditioning, heating, drill refrigeration instructor should be consistent with the teaching load of other
;instructors in other curriculum areas in the institution.
Factors to be
considered in making load determination should include: (1),class contact hours, (2) number of preparations, (3) student loads, (4) committee
assignments, (5) departmental responsibilities and (6) other special
duties.
A full time load is usually considered to be from 16 to 25 contact hours per week.
The number of students could vary from 12 to 25
depending upon the equipment available with a recommended average class
size of 18 full-time student. The instructor should also be responsible
for maintaining liaison with industry through advisory committee meet.ings, personal contacts, and other suitable methods.
As indicated earlier, the successful operation of the air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration program or any program within an institution depends to a great extent on the selection, continuous development,
and satisfactory retention of faculty members. The faculty should.be able
to carry out the objectives of the program and to plan, implement and
evaluate learning experiences essential to the program. The faculty
should also be able to counsel students, work with individuals and organizations within the community, and through continuing education and/or
professional organizations be aware of the changes developing in the
Facilities
The community college or technical institute is responsible for

providing adequate, safe, and attractive facilities which are appropriately located for instruction.
For the air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration program, at
least one laboratory-classroom with equipment for demonstration and laboratory practice is needed. The laboratory should -consist of a minimum
of 100 square feet of space per student:
The laboratory should be
properly lighted, ventilated, heated, air-conditioned and fireproofed.
Electrical capacities should be a minimum of '200 AMP (single phase and
three phase with ground fault protection) from the main source, with
proper distribution.
Adequate facilities should be provided to safely
handle and store refrigerant oils, nitrogen with safety regulators, and
fuels used for instructional pdrposes. Additional laboratory space may
be needed if simulation is used in the program. The room(s) should be
available for student practice at times other than formal laboratory
periods.
Compressed air and water facilities are needed for instructional support.
Storage facilities (10 sq. ft. per student should be provided for storage of equipment, materials, and supplies. Maple table
'tops and stools with backs are recommended.
If metal table tops are
used isolation transformers are recommended for safety reasons. Mechanical building equipment and noisy machines-should be isolated from
the instructional area.
The number and size of classrooms will depend upon student enrollment, whether or not the classrooms will he used for students in
other programs, curriculum design, and methods and mPdia utilized in
instruction. Classrooms should be

properly lighted, ventilated, heated,
air-conditioried and acoustic-proof.
Chalkboards and electrical outlets
should be located for convenience in audiovisual
communication.
The
classroom should also be equipped with blackout
shades
or
their
equivalent and light dimmer controls for convenience
in using audiovisual equip-,
ment.
Soft lighting should be provided to enable
students to take notes
during audiovisual presentations.
Equipment
The amount and kind of equipment needed

for the air conditioning,
heating, .and refrigeration program will depend on the
process utilized by each instructor and could vary widelyinstructional
from one service
area to another.
Basic equipment information has been provided to
gest equipment for the institution initiating an air conditioning, sugheating; and refrigeration curriculum.
Textbooks and References
Textbooks and references for teaching any subject area must

be reviewed constantly and updated or supplemented based
on.new _knowledge in the field and the results of research in
teaching methods and
developing cdhcepts.
The textbooks and references for the air conditioning,
heating, and
refrigeration curriculum have been carefully reviewed and selected by
committee members.
From the lists presented, it should be possible to
select materials that are appropriate for each institution with the understanding that unlisted materials. may also be appropriate.
From these
lists, the instructor should select'materials that meet stated
teaching
objectives and should carefully preview and study materials before they
are used.
Preparation of any course in the curriculum requires the

instructor
to become familiar with texts and references in the course outlines
and
with others that may be available. By using these techniques the
instructor will then be able to select materials that best promote an interesting, high-level technical preSentation to the student.
Library
Part of the strength of any program is indicated by the quality

of
its library.
Characteristics of a quality library include qualifications
of the librarian; the facilities; the quality, quantity and relevancy
of content; and the staffing and organization.
Library facilities should
be readily accessible to both full-time and part-time students and faculty
not only during instructional hours but for hours beyond regular
instructional hours. The library should contain
up-to-date books, periodicals
and other reference materials related to the air conditioning,
heating;
and refrigeration curriculum.
5
13
Air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration instructors and students should be involved in selecting materials for the library and/or
approving reference materials for air conditioning, heating, and
refrigeration related courses.
Students should learn to use the library; therefore, instruction'
should'involve the students in library work.
This develops the habit
of using the library as a learning tool and helps foster a professional
attitude that regards libraries as a resource for information on new
developments in air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration.
Professional Associations
Professional associations are an important source of instructional

materials and provide other benefits for faculty members and students.
Such associations provide information on publications, reports, new
concepts, processes, techniques and equipment availible in the air
conditioning, heating and refrigeration /field.
These associations can also provide support in investigating the

need for a program, in promoting the program, in providing work experience for students and in placement of graduates.
The associations may also supply resource people to speak to classes,
to host student groups on field trips or for individual student projects.
Instructors should be encouraged to work closely with the associations and to become active or ad hoc members if possible. Membership
will enable them to learn quickly of developments in the industry and.to
become acquainted with persons in the community who are most active in
the field.
Early in.their studies, students should become aware of these associations and the resources they.offer.
They should also be encouraged
to join,those.associatioffs which offer affiliate memberships-:"

COMPETENCY-BASED CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
In July 1976, the Program Development Section of the Department

of Community Colleges initiated a project to develop compentency-based
This project was proposed to further
curriculums on a statewide basis.

purposes the project' was designed to solicit the recommendations of
instructors in community colleges and technical institutes, employers,
and high school occupational teachers to determine the competencies
Ihformarequired by employers for successful employment on the job.
tion developed in the project was to be utilized to design curriculums
with multi-entry, multi-exit levels based on job skill requirements.
Materials to be developed for each curriculum included (1)- a validated
list of tasks performed by employees in a given job, (2) competencies
which are required to perform successfully in the job, (3) curriculum
guidelines, and (4) curriculum materials based on the guidelines to
assist educational personnel in providing quality occupational education
programs.
Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Curriculum

The air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration curriculum was
chosen as one of the curriculums to be included in the competency-based
curriculum project since employers were already suggesting a review of the
existing curriculum. The existence of a large number of air conditioning,.
heating, and refrigeration programs in two year institutions, the availability of funds from the Energy Division of the NC Department of Commerce to cover the costs of meetings, and a number of high school occupational program& in climate control also encouraged the selection of

Organization of Curriculum Committees

Each phase of this project was designed to assure maximum involVement
of instructors and employers.
In order to assure involvement, the organization plan called for a competency committee and a curriculum advisory
committee.
The competency committee was composed of instructors from the CoMmunity
College System and members of the North Carolina Heating and Air Conditioning
Contractors Association (NCHACCA).
(Appendix A).
The committee was a working committee and was responsible for preparing all materials including the
career opportunity survey, task analyses, competencies, and curriculum materials.
The curriculum advisory committee was composed of..employers, members

of the competency committee, and teachers from high school air conditioning
and climate controls programs. (Appendix B).
This committee provided advice
and counsel on specific questions concerning employment, competency levels,
articulation with high school programs, survey data, task analyses; and
curriculum.
Resource Search
A resource search was implemented to locate educational materials

Career Opportunity Survey and Response).
,
There were 122 career opportunity forms mailed and 42 forms

returned for a 34 percent response. The'task survey validated the
present need for air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration personnel in numerous job categories (Appendix H ). The career opportunities identi/6ed were rearranged into major job categories according
to the level of skills required. These categories, job titles, and
job descriptions for a typical job in each job category are listed in
Chapter ItI.
With the continuing expansion and new.developments in
the air conditioning, heating, and-refrigeration.industry there is an
ever increasing need for trained personnel in the field.
Task List
A list of tasks was compiled by the ,curriculum committee. This
list was organized according to major topics required in the air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration field. :Major job categories from
the Career Opportunity Survey were cross-referenced with the task's. The
committee then identified which tasks were required for each job category
This information was sent to one hundred and thirty employers. Thirtyone employers (25 %) responded to the survey.
(Appendix H, Air Conditioning,
Heating, and Refrigeration Tasks by Job Levels:
Response from Industry).
Information provided by this survey was used to help structure the tasks
by educational level later in the project.
Task Analyses
Tasks were analyzed to determine skills, knowledge, and .attitudes

necessary to perform each major task.
Competencies and evaluative criteria were written. to support,each major task Category.
Employers
serving on the curriculum advisory committee reviewed the task analyses,
competencies and evaluative criteria and made revisions to reflect the
needs of industry.
This information was used later to help define the content, performance objectives,. and instructional objectives of the course
outlines.
Each task analysis with competenties and evaluative criteria
provides a concise reference on the skills, knowledge and performance
criteria'for major tasks (Appendix L, Task Analysis).
This information'
can be used in a variety of ways in the instructional,program including
use as a teaching guide, evaluation guide, and an,-outline for designing
modular instructional materials.
Specifying Tasks By Educational Level.
Tasks were specified by educational level by using the survey data

from the task validation phase of the project. The categories of installer's helper, installer, service technician's apprentice, service
technician, and designer were analyzed.
Initially, tasks were located
in quarters according to progressive job levels. This information was
then carefully reviewed by the committee and rearrangements were made
as necessary to provide an educationally sound program.
If advanced
instruction or additional practice was needed on a particular task, this

Refrigeration Tasks by Quarters).
Course Materials
Courses for the curriculum were determined from the list of tasks
by educational level. After tasks were,arranged by quarter, course deWhere
scriptions were written to define the content'to be covered.
existing course descriptions were satisfactory, these were,used. To
assist in the development of new course outlines, information was extracted
from the task analyses and arranged according to the quarter in which it
Instructional objectives, content, activity experiences,
was to be taught.
performance objectives, and suggested texts and references were included.
The resulting outlines provide specifics on the objectives of the course,
the content to be taught, materials available to teach each concept, and
the desired perforMance of the learner.
Curriculum Guide
After determining the courses to be taught and the quarter in

which they were to be scheduled, the curriculum guide was developed.
The preliminary_guide was revised by the committee then reviewed and
All questions raised by the committee were resolved, either
discussed.
by explanation or through changes in the curriculum. Basic changes
in the new curriculum include the arrangement of the content of courses;
rearrangements of the curriculum, such .as moving a course to a different
quarter; development Of new courses; and development Of advanced curriculums that build on thediploma program to provide progressive levels
of employable kills. These are important changes. They result in curriculum guides with educational levels that provide for multi-entry and.
multi -exit performance levels based on job skill requirements. The
curriculums were developed with the recommendations of both instructors
in the post-secondallyand secondary programs and employers in the field.
The diploma curritulum guide is in the format of earlier curriculum
guides and can be readily implemented as a revised curriculum. The
advanced curriculuM-Auides are not included in the curriculum,manual
but are.available on request froM the Department of Community Colleges.
The curriculum guides provide a description of the curriculum, general

EQUIPMENT
The equipment listed has been identified as being necessary to

start an air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration mechanic program for 18 students. As additional funds and space betome available
or if the institution offers an advanced level program other items of
equipment can be added to provide exposure to more specialized applications and skill development. While. requisition of equipment is now a
local concern, the high cost of new equipment and limited equipment funds.
:Suggest utilizing whatever resources might be available to acquire used
equipment that can be used for demonstrating, troubleshooting, servicing, and.cannibalization.
Often local air conditioning, heating, and
refrigeration. contractors have second hand air conditioners, furnaces,
and refrigeration units that they will give to the institution for
educational purposes. Also, maintenance and replacement of equipment
and availability of supplies are concerns that require a continuing
budget and the attention of the institution.

AIR-CONDITIONING-MECHANIC APPRENTICE; REFRIGERATION-MECHANIC APPRENTICE

.
Performs duties as described under APPRENTICE.

Frequently specializes,
after completing apprenticeship program, in such areas as refrigeration
(REFRIGERATION MECHANIC; air-conditioning .(ENVIROMMENTAL-CONTROL-SYSTEM
INSTALLER-SERVICER); PIPE FITTER (ship and boat bldg, and repair);
gasline fitting (PIPE); or gas,.oil, hot water, and steam heating systems
(OIL-BURNER-SERVICER-AND-INSTALLER); GAS-APPLIANCE SERVICER.
APPRENTICE
.
A worker who learns, according to written or oral contractual agreement,

a recognized skilled craft or trade:requiring one or more years of onthe-job training through job experience supplemented by related instruction, prior,to being. considered a qualified skilled worker.. High school
or vocational school educatiM is often a prerequisite for entry into
an apprenticeship program.. Provisions of apprenticeship agreement regularly include length of apprenticeship; a progressive scale of wi,ges;'
workl3rocesses to be taught; and amount of instruction in subjects %-elated to the craft or trade, such ascharacteristics of materials,used,
physics, mathematics, estimating, and blueprint-reading.
Apprenticeability
of a particular craft or trade is best evidenced by its acceptability for
registration as a trade by a State apprenticeship agency or the Federal
Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training.' Generally, where employees are
represented by a union, apprenticeship programs come under the guidance
of joint apprenticeship committees cOmposed of representatives of the
employers or the employer association and representatives of the employees.
These committees may determine need for apprentices in a locality and
establish minimum apprenticeship standards of education, experience, and
training.
In instances' where committees do not exist, apprenticeship
agreement is made between apprentice and employer, or an employer group.
The title, APPRENTICE, is often loosely used as a.synonym for beginner,',
HELPER, orJRAINEE. This practice is technically'incorrect and leads
to confusion in determining what is Meant. Typical classifications for
apprentices are BLACKSMITH APPRENTICE (forging); MACHINIST APPRENTICE
(mach. shop); and PLUMBER APPRENTICE (const.).

TASKS BY QUARTER
This task list has been used as the working base for'identifying curriculum content by course for
the air conditioning, heating,.and refrigeration curriculums.
(.4
The suggested air conditioning, heating, and. refrigeration tasks' by quarters have been derived from
the task by job level responses from industry and from review and evaluation by instructors.
Tasks
are arranged by quarter to help students develop a background of skills, that will enable their, entry
to progressive levels of employment as they proceed through the curriculum.
Tasks are identified for additional instruction beyond the diploma level program (typically four
quarters) for institutions that Lye advanced level programs.
However, the manual provides suggested
curriculum and instructional materials for the recommended 'diploma.program only.
All items with an 'X' indicate the quarter in which initial instruction is recommended to be pro.-c
vided on the topic.
Some tasks require additional practice and/or advanced instruction to develop
sufficient skill to perform at the level expected for progressively higher job levels.
are keyed for additional, practice, "0", and .advanced instruction, "0 '.
