Plastic vehicle parts include bumpers, fender extensions, fascias, fender aprons, grille openings, stone shields, instrument panels, trim panels, fuel lines, door panels, and engine parts. In this course students will be able to understand and use plastics of all types in automotive repairs of the parts listed above. Through the practicum experience, students will have the opportunity to integrate their classroom knowledge in a workplace environment. May be taken four times for credit. (CSU)
