Course Descriptions
INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY COMMUNICATIONS
AND PRODUCTION
One semester, one credit
This course is one of two courses that will provide an orientation
to the principles of industrial technology. Students learn
the universal language of industry including: measurement,
free hand sketching, simple drafting, blueprint reading, fundamentals
of Auto CAD, and electric communication. Students will apply
these skills and learn the techniques that industry uses in
the design, engineering, and production of manufactured goods.
Students will utilize engineering and production of manufactured
goods. Students will utilize tools, materials, and industrial
processes to mass-produce class projects. Students will be
exposed to a variety of career opportunities related to the
design, engineering, and manufacturing of modern products
and structures.
INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY/ENERGY &
TRANSPORTATION
One semester, one credit
This course is one of two courses that will provide an orientation
to the principles of industrial technology. The first part
of this course will introduce the resources, technical processes,
industrial applications and technological impacts of energy
utilization. This hands-on course will provide experiences
with the extraction, conversion, distribution, storage and
conservation of fossil fuels, solar resources and nuclear
energy resources. The second segment introduces the technologies
used in the field of transportation systems. Students will
be exposed to a variety of career opportunities related to
the energy and transportation industries.
AUTOMOBILE TECHNOLOGY 1
One semester, one credit
Recommended Prerequisite: Introduction to Industrial Technology/Energy
& Transportation.
General knowledge and skills concerning trouble-shooting and
fixing automobile engines will be covered. Students will also
learn theory and principles of two and four-cycle, air-cooled
small engine operation, and proper care and use of tools and
measuring instruments used in repairing small gasoline engines.
Class format is lecture/discussion/demonstration. Activities
in this class will include a study of the following automotive
systems: fuel, cooling, brake, suspension, ignition and lubrication.
Student hands-on activities will include a basic tune-up,
oil changes, brake inspections, and parts replacement. This
course is a prerequisite for most automobile courses.
AUTOMOBILE TECHNOLOGY 2-3
One year, two credits
Recommended Prerequisite: Automobile Technology 1
Operation, diagnosis, and repair of various starting, charging,
carburetion, power brake, and ignition system components will
be covered. Class format is lecture/discussion/lab. Hands
on experiences will teach proper use of test equipment, and
diagnostic repair of parts. Students will have the opportunity
to learn about the operation, components and diagnosis of
Electronic Ignition and Electronic Fuel Injection Systems.
Students will also learn how the various sensors work together
to maintain the best performance from today’s high tech
auto. We will cover the entire automobile including standard
and automatic transmissions. Students will be required to
identify all transmission components, give the function of
each component, explain transmission operations, and disassemble
and reassemble an automatic and standard transmission
