2.00 Credits
Students will learn the concepts of diesel engine emissions and how diesel emissions significantly contribute to air pollution. Knowledge of how to create cleaner running diesel engines, promote pollution-control technology, prevent unnecessary idling, and ultimately, make that puff of smoke that can come from these engines an image of the past. We will study and practice the actions taken to reduce diesel emissions using measuring devices, learn the terms and technologies of catalytic converters, particulate filters, the use diesel exhaust fluid, and be able to troubleshoot emission components. Prerequisite: Department or Instructor approval required. Offered Spring
-
3.00 Credits
Braking systems for commercial trucks and heavy equipment applications; compressor testing and overhaul, relay valves, actuators, wear limits, acceptable tolerances, brake lining replacement, government regulations and pneumatic controls; evolving technologies such as anti-lock brakes. Remove and replace brake shoes, drums, hardware, S-cams and air chambers. Includes the inspection, preventive maintenance and overhaul of a commercial truck or heavy equipment braking system. Offered As Demand Warrants Prerequisites: DSLT F101; DSLT F103.
-
3.00 Credits
Theory and functional operation of all common diesel fuel injection systems including those produced by modern Bosch, Mack, Cummins, Caterpillar and Detroit Diesel. Direct injection and pre-combustion fuel injection systems. Testing procedures, when testing high pressure diesel injection pumps and injectors as well as removing, installing and adjusting the most common systems used in the heavy truck and heavy equipment industry. Offered Fall
-
3.00 Credits
Theory, diagnosis and repair of manual transaxles and transmissions, transfer cases, differentials, clutch assemblies, power take off units, driveshafts and axles as well as removing and installing clutches, transmissions and differentials in a truck or piece of heavy equipment.

-
2.00 Credits
Students will learn advanced concepts of industrial fabrication in the maintenance of heavy duty equipment, develop a strong understanding of metals and their applications, and have the ability to bend, heat, and apply welding techniques that will support heavy duty equipment for long term use. Prerequisite: Department or Instructor approval is required. Offered Spring
-
5.00 Credits
Understanding the two cycle and four cycle diesel engine. Performing tune-ups, as well as disassembling and reassembling a modern diesel engine commonly found in the heavy truck or heavy equipment industry. Prerequisites: DSLT F101; DSLT F103; DSLT F105. Offered Fall
-
3.00 Credits
Basic concepts of botany and ethnobotany, with emphasis on the native flora of Alaska and how people use these plants. Basic plant biology and taxonomy; scientific methods of plant collection, including identification and curation; use of native Alaska plants for food and medicines; ethnobotanical methods of collecting plant-use information from indigenous cultures and ways that this information contributes to other fields of study, such as resource management, community development, and human health.
-
1.00 Credits
Surveys basic concepts of ethnobotany and ethnoecology, with emphasis on how people use plants, the role of plants in traditional food systems, and the dynamics of human-plant -ecosystem interactions in a context of rapid social, ecological and climatic change. Lectures and discussion focus specifically on plant use in Alaska and other high latitude geographic and ecological settings, but ethnobotanical research in mid latitude and tropical settings will be referenced where appropriate. Students will gain a basic understanding of plant biology and taxonomy; plants and ecosystem services; the use of native Alaska plants for food and medicines; the economics of innovative plant-based businesses; and the cultural and economic significance of plant use to other cultures worldwide. Offered Spring Prerequisites: EBOT F100.
Prerequisite:
EBOT F100 UF C-

1.00 Credits
Provides an understanding of the industry of wildcrafting: the gathering, harvesting, processing and in some cases, marketing of nontimber forest products. Specific examples from Alaska will be used to illustrate all aspects of this course, from identification of native flora, to a conceptualization of the unique market niche that Alaskan natural products fill, to native plant propagation and effects of invasive plants. Offered Fall Prerequisites: EBOT F100.
