4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to major engine repair using industry-approved procedures. Emphasis is placed on component identifications, the proper use of measuring tools and determining the reusability of parts to restore engines to factory-approved specifications. Students learn to make clearance checks, replace pistons and rings, inspect and replace crankshaft bearings, service valve train components and make all required timing adjustments. Diagnosis of internal engine component failures using industry-recognized tools and techniques is covered. Certain course sections are manufacturer-specific.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the principles of refrigeration, air conditioning controls and the diagnosis, trouble-shooting and repair of automotive heating and air conditioning systems. Certain course sections are manufacturer-specific.
-
3.00 Credits
This course reinforces the theories and approaches learned in ATE 121 and ATE 122 by extending students' skill level by performing the latest in diagnostic technology. Using shop manuals and technical bulletins combined with the latest diagnostic equipment, students practice troubleshooting systems such as anti-lock brakes, electronic steering and suspension controls, electronic body controls, anti-theft systems, media systems and other systems released by manufacturers. Students are introduced to hybrid safety and design. Certain course sections are manufacturer-specific.
Prerequisite:
ATE 122
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the terminology, theory and operation of the computerized on-board diagnostic (OBD) system found on current vehicles. Students apply their knowledge of ignitions, fuels, emissions and engines to diagnose vehicle drivability-related problems. Students use specific test equipment and procedures to isolate vehicle problems and utilize the chassis dynamometer to complete OBD II monitors and diagnose vehicle faults. The use of hybrid technology to enhance engine performance and economy is covered. Some course sections are manufacturer-specific.
Prerequisite:
ATE 245
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides students with a basic study of various engine control systems and components including ignition, fuel, mechanical and emission control systems. Course emphasis is on understanding the theory of how these systems operate. This course covers on-board II (OBD2) terminology including the proper use of diagnostic tools and equipment. Basic manufacturer diagnostic procedures are practiced. Certain course sections are manufacturer-specific.
Prerequisite:
ATE 122 and ATE 131
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to the design, assembly, operation and diagnostic procedures for clutches, manual transmissions and transaxles, differential components and drive axle components. Drivetrain vibration analysis and noise correction are also discussed. Certain course sections are manufacturer-specific.
-
5.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to the theory and practical application of the automatic transmission and transaxle. Transmissions and transaxles are studied with emphasis on diagnosis and repair of hydraulic systems, mechanical systems and electronic control systems. On-car diagnostic procedures are practiced in conjunction with industry-recognized service manual information. Certain course sections are manufacturer-specific.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an expanded study of various engine control systems and components. These include ignition, fuel, mechanical and emission control systems. Students analyze the association between engine sensors and vehicle operation by utilizing diagnostic scan tools. Students further analyze vehicle data parameters to gain a thorough understanding of how the engine operates. Manufacturer diagnostic repair procedures are practiced in a lab setting. Certain course sections are manufacturer-specific.
Prerequisite:
ATE 230
-
3.00 Credits
Modern transportation systems increasingly involve computerized mechanisms for control, analysis, and design. Drawing on the tools and methods of automotive technology, mechatronics, and data analytics, students explore transportation related problems through hands-on, project-based learning in each discipline. Students will draw on problem-solving frameworks used by each discipline to generate innovative ideas for presentation to industry partners. As a survey course, students from all academic disciplines at any stage of degree progression will acquire transferrable skills relevant to their own domain.
-
1.00 Credits
Cooperative Education provides students with a working experience in their discipline and develops their ability to understand and perform appropriately in the dynamic work environment. In order to participate and enroll in Cooperative Education, students must meet the following criteria: Assigned to and expected to graduate from a career-based academic program; Secured a paid or unpaid internship site (minimum of one month prior to the semester); Secure any clearances required by the employer/organization; Follow established processes; and complete and submit all required forms.
Corequisite:
Enrollment in any Automotive Technology program.
