5510 Automotive Services Technology I

Automotive Services Technology I is a one year course that encompasses the sub topics of the NATEF/ASE identified areas of Steering and Suspension and Braking Systems. This one year course offering may be structured in a series of two topics per year offered in any combination of instructional strategies of semester based or yearlong instruction. Additional areas of manual transmissions, differentials, automatic transmissions, air conditioning, and engine repair will be covered as time permits. This one year offering must meet the NATEF program certifications for the two primary areas offered in this course. Mathematical skills will be reinforced through precision measuring activities and cost estimation/calculation activities. Scientific principles taught and reinforced in this course include the study of viscosity, friction, thermal expansion, and compound solutions. Written and oral skills will also be emphasized to help students communicate with customers, colleagues, and supervisors.
