Classes Offered
PERSONAL CAR CARE (Auto I) TI120 1.0 (YEAR)
Prerequisite: None
Grade Level(s): 9, 10, 11, 12
Personal Care Care (Auto I) is a student-centered, hands-on course that will introduce students to the fundamentals of owning a vehicle revolving around the Automotive Systems and how they function. This will be accomplished through lab exercises centered around safe work habits, tool identification, how to safely operate a two & four post lift, and how to purchase and maintain your vehicle. In Personal Car Care, students will learn how to perform a multi-point inspection that covers the seven main automotive systems: Engine, Automatic Transmission/transaxle, Manual Transmission/transaxle, Steering and Suspension, Brakes, Electrical, Heating, and Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC). Other units include: Hand and Power tools, Tire Mount/dismount and balance, Lube, Oil, Filter changes, Wash/Wax/Reconditioning of interior and exterior, as well as certification in usage of a Digital MultiMeter (DMM). Second semester explores the inner workings of a Briggs and Stratton OHV engine with disassembly, measurement, reconditioning and then reassembly.
