Describe the automotive service facility. Safety, the use of basic hand and power tools, and hoist training helps the prospective automobile technician work safely and efficiently.
Examines proven strategies designed to help learners achieve greater personal, academic, and professional success. Learners will apply personal responsibility thinking and behaviors; self- management, awareness, and motivation strategies; as well as interdependence skills to develop a proactive life plan.
Diagnose and repairing electrical and electronic systems. Emphasizing their knowledge of proper diagnostic routines, learners perform and evaluate testing and repairs on lighting and body electrical accessories.
Introduces learners to the format and types of questions given in the math, chemistry, and anatomy & physiology portions of the HESI test. Sample questions and possible study materials will be discussed. Upon completion of the course, learners will have a greater understanding of the test. Additionally, course completion will assist in determining if learners feel ready to test, or would like to pursue additional study opportunities prior to testing.
Explain design, construction and service of vehicle braking systems. Emphasis is placed on disc applications, the machining of brake rotors, hydraulic systems and components along with system maintenance.
Prepares learners for fundamental tire repair procedures. Emphasis on mounting and balancing tires, service and repair of tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), basic tire leak detection methods and repairs, and basic suspension inspection procedures.
Explain design, construction and service of vehicle braking systems. Emphasis is placed on drum applications, power brake units, the machining of brake drum, the parking brake system.
Introduction to drivetrain maintenance procedures. Learners will perform fluid exchange services for transmission, transfer case, and differential sytems.
Perform vehicle preventative maintenance, and drivetrain maintenance procedures. Learners will focus on air filter, wiper blade, serpentine belt, headlamp, battery maintenance and repair.
Perform vehicle maintenance and repair. Focus will be on thread repair, oil change, tire rotations, and TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System) relearn procedures.
Perform engine mechanical diagnosis. Students will be performing compression testing, cyl leakage testing, and engine vacuum tests. Students will also perform engine oil pressure tests and, test variable valve timing systems
Diagnose engine sensors that feed data to an on-board computers. You will learn how the computer processes and then uses data to make a host of real time decisions concerning ignition, fuel delivery and emission controls.
Demonstrate shop practices. Learners will practice vehicle maintenance on live customers vehicles. Emphasis on quality control of repairs, time management, techniques of customer communication (verbal and written), estimate planning, and meeting deadlines. Focus will be on first semester content.
Demonstrate shop practices. Learners will practice vehicle diagnosis and repairs on live customers vehicles. Emphasis on quality control of repairs, time management, techniques of customer communication (verbal and written), estimate planning, and meeting deadlines. Focus will be on third semester content.
Perform basic tune ups and beyond basic tune-ups into the world of computer controlled ignition systems. You will learn how the computer processes and then uses sensor data to make a host of real time decisions concerning ignition controls. The use of DVOMs, scan tools, oscilloscopes, and computer self-diagnostics will be covered.
Diagnose, service and repair of fuel systems including TBI, MPI and DI systems. Learners will also be trained in the use of: oscilloscopes, pressure tester, scan tools and various computer self-diagnostics tools.
Diagnose, service and repair of vehicle emissions systems including PCV, EGR, EVAP, Catalytic Converters and OBD II computer systems will be taught. Learners will also be trained in the use of: oscilloscopes, gas benches, scan tools and various computer self-diagnostics tools.
