6.00 Credits
Provides the student with an introduction to automotive engines, the use and care of hand tools, precision tools, special tools and equipment. Construction and theory of operation with attention to engine components are included. In addition, cooling and lubrication of modern engines as well as preventive maintenance and use of shop and flat rate manuals are covered. Safety is emphasized. OSHA standards and safety are emphasized. 6 credits.
-
6.00 Credits
Introduces the student to the fundamentals of electronics, including Ohm's Law, basic electrical circuits, wiring diagrams, and common electrical symbols. Diagnosis and troubleshooting of electrical circuits is emphasized, including familiarization with most common types of testing equipment. Also includes starting systems, charging systems, microprocessors, sensors, actuators, and power distribution networks. OSHA standards and safety are emphasized. 6 credits.
-
6.00 Credits
Introduces the student to the theory and operation of modern suspension and steering systems. This study includes wheels and tires, hubs, bearings, seals, springs, and the vehicle frame. Various designs and construction of each of these components will be covered. Steering and steering systems starts with the basic theory of alignment of both front and rear wheels and includes the construction and operation of various manual and power steering components. OSHA standards and safety are emphasized. 6 credits.
-
6.00 Credits
Covers two major systems: fuel and ignition systems, and driveability and emissions. An understanding of the operation of these systems is essential to the successful maintenance and repair of most vehicles. Driveability describes the maintenance of a vehicle's performance. The technician must understand the complex network of electronic components that control the driving characteristics of the vehicle. Safety is emphasized. OSHA standards and safety are emphasized. 6 credits.
-
6.00 Credits
Concentrates on the theory and operation of disc and drum brake systems. Basic hydraulic principles as well as the operation and components of the brake foundation systems are taught. The course includes an in depth study of the various hydro-boost systems and several types of antilock braking systems. OSHA standards and safety are emphasized. 6 credits.
-
6.00 Credits
Includes a study of the theory of refrigeration, the refrigeration cycle, and the basic components of a typical automotive refrigeration system. The function and construction of compressors, lines, expansion valves, expansion tubes, condensers, evaporators, blower motors, and air distribution systems are covered. Includes the study of automatic temperature control systems, including the latest computer-monitored systems. Heating and ventilation, an important part of the vehicle's climate control system, will also be covered. Service and maintenance procedures as well as basic shop safety are heavily emphasized. OSHA standards and safety are emphasized. 6 credits.
-
6.00 Credits
Begins with a review of gear theory and the introduction of the planetary gear set. Continues with a brief review of the basics of hydraulic theory. A study of the basic transmission components common to most automatic transmissions is covered to provide the student an overview of the operation and construction of a typical unit. Specific in-line transmissions and transaxle transmissions common in late model vehicles will be covered in the course. OSHA standards and safety are emphasized. 6 credits.
-
6.00 Credits
Covers the entire power train on a late model vehicle with a standard transmission. Beginning with the flywheel, the course traces the flow of power from the engine, through the flywheel, to the transmission, through the differential assembly and ending at the wheel hub. Included is operation and repair of manual transmissions, rear axles, and transaxles. Several types of four-wheel drive systems will also be taught. OSHA standards and safety are emphasized. 6 credits.
-
1.00 Credits
A laboratory course in introductory biology covering the general concepts of microscope use, cell organization, physical and chemical bases of life, energy processing, cell reproduction, and the study of various tissue structures to basic physiological process. This course is to be taken concurrently with BIOL1003 General Biology. 1 credit.
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory course in General Biology. This course helps students build on their knowledge, replace their misconceptions with scientifically useful conceptions, and construct meaning from their learning experiences. It is a study of life with emphasis on the cell and continues through the levels of organization. Major areas of study include cell theory, energy transformation and evolution. Also, selected biological systems will be surveyed to compare life forms with emphasis on the human form so as to give the learner better understanding of their own body and health issues. This course is to be taken concurrently with BIOL1001 General Biology Lab. 3 credits.
