1.00 Credits
Intro to Transportation Careers covers departmental procedures and practices as well expectations of the students in the programs. Safety, environmental concerns, and simulated Right to Know training are a significant part of the course. Basic tools, tool usage, basic power tools, and care of them are included. Threaded fasteners, drive types, torquing, thread compounds, cutting methods, gluing, and adhesives are covered from a generic point and not vehicle specific. (Prerequisites: none) (1 credits: 1 lecture/0 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers welding procedures and heat control methods for high strength steels and light gauge metals used in today's vehicle construction. Methods of welding and cutting include Oxy-fuel, Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG), and Plasma. Welding of aluminum, brazing, and application of silicone bronze are also covered. The student will learn to set-up equipment and weld in the flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions using various weld types on joint configurations typical to the auto body industry. (Prerequisite: None) (3 Credits: 0 lec/3 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
Auto Body Welding 1 focuses on welding of thin gauge sheet metal utilized for the outer body panels of vehicles. Welding will be performed in the flat, vertical, and overhead the purpose of heating and cutting operations. (Prerequisite or concurrent: ABCT1115) (2 credits: 0 lecture/2 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides the student with the needed information to straighten sheet metal damage ranging from small dings to significant damage. An understanding of how metal reacts to outside forces is gained through hands on application using various tools and repair methods. Repair methods and procedures for panels damaged due to deterioration from corrosion are also presented and applied. (Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment in ABCT1120 or instructors approval) (4 Credits: 0 lec/4 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
Auto Body Mechanical 1 focuses on the mechanical systems that are often involved with the collision event and need to be disassembled or removed from the vehicle for the purpose of replacement or access for repairs. Safety concerns for mechanical system removal is critical to the learning as well as environmental issues. System protection during removal and storage is covered to help insure parts and the vehicle are not damaged or effected by the removal or repairs. Refilling and bleeding of many of the systems are covered so as to ensure proper operation and life of the components in the system. (Prerequisite or concurrent: ABCT1115) (2 credits: 1 lecture/1 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
Vehicle repairs require correct disassembly, damage assessment, and reassembly procedures to complement structural, body, and refinishing procedures. The need to document conditions prior to repair as well as at the completion of repairs is required as part of vehicle work files. Vehicles that have repairs performed need to be cleaned and detailed prior to delivery to the owner at the completion of repairs and the skills and techniques to do this are included in the course. (Prerequisite or concurrent: ABCT1115) (2 credits: 0 lecture/2 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
Introductions to refinishing products, equipment, terminology, safety, corrosion protection, and product application are part of this course. The main focus will be the stages of refinishing that deal with repaired areas, bare metal, and the back side of these areas or panels. Primer surfacer work will focus on getting repaired areas leveled and free of imperfections through block sanding techniques. This course will prepare panels and build knowledge needed for Refinishing 2 which is top coat applications. This course is highly suggested prior to taking refinishing 2 but is not required. (Prerequisite or concurrent: ABCT1115) (2 credits: 1 lecture/1 lab)
-
5.00 Credits
Outer body panel repairs and replacement procedures will be included in this course. Straightening techniques will focus on contour correction for use of body filler materials which are also part of the course. Paintless dent removal will be covered in theory and participants will be able to attempt to use the techniques. Body fillers will be completed so as to be prepared for application of primer surfacers. Body panel replacement procedures will be introduced and practice opportunities provided for adjustable sheet metal including doors, hoods, deck lids, hatches, slider doors and fenders. Welded on body panels including roof skins, quarter panels, and door skins will also be included. (Prerequisite or concurrent: ABCT1115, ABCT1125) (5 credits: 1 lecture/4 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
Building on the Introduction to Refinishing course, Advanced Refinishing topics include: procedures used to successfully match vehicle color when using single-stage, basecoat/clearcoat, and tri-stage finishes. Advanced masking techniques, corrosion protection of repair areas, elimination of paint contaminants, paint problems and cures, and detailing finishes for customer delivery are also covered. Application of the information presented in this course will provide the student with the knowledge and skill to deliver an undetectable paint repair. (Prerequisite: ABCT1100 or instructor permission) (3 Credits: 1 lec/2 lab)
-
7.00 Credits
This course is the combination of ABCT 1100 & ABCT 1240 presented in the same semester. (Prerequisite: None) (7 Credits: 2 lec/5 lab)
