-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide work experience directly related to the student's field of study. A learning contract, containing specific educational objectives, as they relate to the specific work experience and the student's field of study, is developed between the student, department coordinator,and the employer. There is a 120 hour minimum of work in the student's co-op experience. The student is required to keep a daily journal which provides relevant feedback to the department coordinator thereby ensuring a consistent monitoring of tasks performed during the work session. Prerequisite: ATC 115, ATC 103.
-
5.00 Credits
This course examines the design, construction and operation of basic vehicular suspension systems, braking systems, alignment geometry, wheel and tire fundamentals and steering systems. The emphasis is on service and diagnostic procedures are discussed in detail. Laboratory exercises consist of wheel balancing and alignment, proper brake system service practices, suspension component diagnosis and replacement, anti-lock troubleshooting techniques and related chassis services. Rotor and drum machining techniques are explored in detail. Four class hours and a three-hour lab.
-
5.00 Credits
A thorough examination of manual and automatic transmissions/ transaxles. Clutch operations, drivelines and differentials are addressed. Detailed power flow analysis for manual and automatic geartrains is provided in lecture with practical applications derived from laboratory exercises. Vehicle manufacturer service and maintenance procedures are investigated in lab activities. Four class hours and a three-hour lab. Prerequisite: ATC 243 or Permission of Instructor
-
4.00 Credits
Modern engine control systems are discussed. Ignition systems and related diagnostics with an emphasis on computer-controlled fuel management are examined. Laboratory topics include gas analyzers, oscilloscopes and scanning devices (DRBs). Three class hours and a three-hour lab. Prerequisite: ATC 142 or Permission of Instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of refrigeration and heating are analytically discussed. Concepts of modern electronic air temperature control systems are developed in the lecture. Laboratory activities focus upon service and diagnostic methods. Proper evacuation and recharging techniques applicable to current EPA standards are developed. Two class hours and a three-hour lab. Prerequisite: ATC 116 or Permission of Instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide work experience directly related to the student's field of study. A learning contract, containing specific education al objectives, is developed between the student, the chairperson of Automotive Technology and the employer. There is a 120-hour minimum employment requirement in the student's cooperative experience along with a course component. Tasks include advanced automotive service activies involving electronic diagnostics, and engine repair. The student is required to keep a daily journal of activities performed and periodic evaluations will be conducted by department faculty. Students will have assistance in the co-op placement, however, the ultimate responsibility for obtaining placement rests with the student. The Automotive chairperson must grant prior approval for the cooperative experience, which must be directly related to the student's curriculum. The work experience cannot be used to satisfy the requirement of another course. No experiential credit based upon past work experience will be awarded for this course. A letter grade will be assigned.
-
