POWER TECHNOLOGY 9 (MECHANICS)
This course is an introduction to engines, automotive engineering, and design/problem solving. Students will learn about the systems, parts and tools that are needed to dismantle and rebuild a small engine. Students will be challenged with engineering projects that will require creativity and problem solving to overcome. They will also be working with Bikes learning how to care and repair common problems. The course focuses on hands on learning and becoming comfortable with working through large projects with many stages.
POWER TECHNOLOGY 10 (MECHANICS)
This course is built around a large group project designed to familiarize students with the inner workings of machines and vehicles. Students will be constructing recycled karts and participating in a large race to test their creations. While working on the project students will get to see how the concepts connect to the automotive industry, and develop a deep familiarity with the tools of the trade. The semester is wrapped up with basic automotive work and service jobs to connect to the larger project.
AUTOMOTIVE 11/12
It is recommended that students have taken power technology prior to taking this course. Students will look at each system of the automobile with greater focus and depth. A car is not needed to take the course but if you have a car you would like to work on you will be welcome to bring it in. Students will also gain a deeper understanding surrounding the reparation of different these vehicle systems. Supplies and equipment required: You must have eye protection.
AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY 12: ENGINE & DRIVETRAIN
(Prerequisite: Automotive Technology 12)
This is a course which covers the brakes, engine, transmission, and suspension systems of a car so you can do the repair work necessary to get it in top running order. By the end of the course, you should be able to show a degree of proficiency in trouble shooting these systems. You will be working on cars and equipment assigned to you by the instructor. Some students may specialize in one or more areas during this course and will be graded accordingly.
Supplies and equipment required: One pair of coveralls and eye protection
