4.00 Credits
Covered in this course are mechanical areas commonly damaged in a collision or affected during the repair process. Systems included are: Air Conditioning, Engine Cooling, Brakes, Emissions, Drive Train Power Delivery, Steering Columns, Suspension Components, and Systems affecting Drivability. (Prerequisites: ABCT1113 or instructor approval) (4 Credits: 1 lec/3 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
D.C. theory is the starting point for this course which focuses on how circuits work and troubleshooting procedures needed to test them on vehicles. Multi-meters are used to take readings for voltage, amperage, resistance, and voltage drop. Once problem areas are identified repair or replacement procedures are used to fix wiring, connections, or faulty components. Service information is utilized to access vehicle specific circuits for troubleshooting and repairs. Scan tools and service information for diagnostics and calibration will be introduced. Safety for hybrid and electric vehicles is included. (Prerequisites: ABCT1115, ABCT1145, or concurrent with both) (3 Credit: 2 Lecture/1 Lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Straightening and repair of unibody structures and full frame vehicles involved in a major collision are the objectives of this course. Included topics are: measuring systems and procedures, vehicle anchoring, pulling theories and application, replacement of structural panels and glass, unibody sectioning, and other related topics. Wheel alignment angles and alignment procedures are included with hands-on application. (Prerequisites: ABCT1113, ABCT1120, ABCT1130, and ABCT1260 or permission of instructor) (4 Credits: 1 lec/3 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
The second welding course in the auto body program delivers information and hands-on practice of advanced welding methods for collision repairs. The MIG welding procedures will focus on structural parts and full frame welding procedures. Resistance spot welding techniques for late model collision repair are covered as well as silicon bronze welding using wire feed welders. Plasma arc cutting and induction heating procedures are included in the course. (Prerequisites: ABCT1115, ABCT1125, ABCT1165 (Prerequisite or concurrent: ABCT1345) (2 credits: 0 lecture/2 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
This lab allows for skill building of previously learned areas of study through hands-on application. It also provides time for the student to complete tasks assigned in current courses and provides hands-on time to achieve a complete collision repair. Much of the emphasis in this lab will surround collision type repairs. (Prerequisite: Minimum of 15 technical credits completed in ABCT courses) (3 Credits: 0 lec/3 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
The second mechanical course in the auto body program advances the knowledge base and hands on of many systems introduced in Auto Body Mechanical 1. Air conditioning, cooling systems, steering and suspension, brakes, and computerized body and mechanical systems are worked with from a collision damaged perspective. Hands-on assignments are involved in addition to the theory of the systems physics. Scan tools are used in the diagnostics of many of the systems as well as other specialized tools. Utilization of service procedures and service data bases are significant part of the experiences in this course as well. (Prerequisites: ABCT1135, ABCT1115, ABCT1125, ABCT1316 or concurrent enrollment) (3 Credits: 2 lecture/1 Lab)
-
3.00 Credits
This structural course focuses on preparing vehicles for structural straightening and parts replacement. Vehicle anchoring systems are used to hold the vehicle for pulling procedures and are set-up following specifications and measuring system data. Measuring is a major emphasis in structural repairs and developing of repair plans as well as documentation of the repair process. With pulling and parts replacement completed corrosion protection and restoration is applied. Wheel alignment is a final step in the structural repair process to ensure drivability. Structural glass replacement concerns are addressed during the course as well. (Prerequisites or concurrent: ABCT1115, ABCT1125, ABCT1145, ABCT1165, ABCT1325) (3 credits: 0 lecture/3 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
Refinishing 3 is third in a series of refinishing courses and is intended to provide experience in the most advanced levels of vehicle refinishing. Included are the study of color theory and achieving blendable paint matches. Water borne paint technology is introduced and students switch to use of it for color application in this course and advanced labs. Tri-stage paint application and custom painting techniques and materials are introduced. The opportunity is available for students to explore custom painting techniques using air brushes, mini guns, and many other tools. (Prerequisites: ABCT1155, ABCT1255, and 6 credits of refinishing and production labs) (2 credits: 1 lecture/1 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
Production Lab 2 provides the opportunity to continue to develop body and paint skills learned in earlier courses. Lab time is also used to prepare vehicles for structural repairs when enrolled concurrently in advanced courses. Emphasis is now being placed on accountability for use of the lab time and recording tasks by time to weekly logs in preparation for industry flat rates. Planning of repair steps are shifted toward the student's involvement working toward setting goals for the week as part of weekly logs. (Prerequisite: ABCT1115 and 20 additional ABCT courses or instructor approval) (2 credits: 0 lecture/2 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
Damage analysis and estimating covers the process of analyzing the vehicle following a collision event looking at preexisting conditions as well as collision related damage. The process of gathering customer information, vehicle information, insurance coverage information, vehicle damage, parts options, parts pricing, labor operation pricing, and other related charges and arriving at cost of repairs is the core of the course. Communication of needed information to the customer and insurance company is also focused on with insurance policies and coverage types included. (Prerequisites or concurrent: 20 credits of ABCT courses) (2 credits: 2 lecture/0 lab)
