B. TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGY SKILLS
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
B1. demonstrate an understanding of engine operation and repair by performing a variety of service operations;
B2. demonstrate the ability to test and repair basic electrical circuits safely and correctly;
B3. demonstrate the ability to service and repair steering/control, suspension, brake, and body systems;
B4. develop appropriate solutions to transportation technology challenges and/or repair problems.
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
B1. EngineServiceandRepair
By the end of this course, students will:
B1.1 access engine specifications, trouble charts, and/or diagnostic procedures from reliable information sources (e.g., shop manuals, online information, manufacturers’ information) and use them as required to service or repair engines;
B1.2 use a variety of hand, power, and specialty tools safely and correctly to perform basic maintenance and repair procedures (e.g., maintenance: oil change, tune up; repair: replace the timing belt, repair a fluid leak) on several types and styles of engines, to manufacturers’ specifications;
B1.3 use a variety of tools and equipment (e.g., fuel pressure/vacuum gauge, compression tester, coolant pressure tester, stethoscope, manometer) safely and correctly to diagnose basic engine condition;
B1.4 demonstrate correct diagnostic and repair procedures in disassembling and reassembling an engine (e.g., perform a visual inspection, measure component wear, replace or refurbish components, use proper assembly torque and sequence operations).
By the end of this course, students will:
B2.1 demonstrate a working knowledge of inspec- tion and testing of circuits (e.g., use test lights or
multimeters when required, follow correct proce- dures in performing a voltage drop test);
B2.2 use a variety of test equipment (e.g., starter circuit tester, charging system analyser) to deter- mine continuity and measure voltage, amperage, and resistance in various electrical circuits (e.g., starting circuits, charging circuits, lighting circuits);
B2.3 perform repairs on electrical circuits (e.g., ter- minal repair, wiring repair) safely and correctly.
By the end of this course, students will:
B3.1 perform an inspection of steering/control, suspension, brake, and/or body components, and report on their condition, referring to appropriate information sources (e.g., manufac- turers’ specifications) and using appropriate tech- nical language and/or illustrations;
B3.2 perform routine and/or scheduled service procedures on steering/control, suspension, and brake systems (e.g., lubrication, brake service, sus- pension inspection, belt and track adjustment, tire service, fluid change) safely and correctly, using appropriate service information;
B3.3 perform service and repair procedures on various body components, using appropriate fasteners and bonding agents (e.g., bolts, welds, rivets, clips, adhesives).
