AUT 108 ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS II
5 (4-3)
Course Description: A continuation of AUT 107. Coverage includes
the lighting system, fusing, indicating devices and accessory repair.
Diagnosis and repair of all electrical systems is stressed. Students
also receive advanced training in Semi-Conductors Micro
Processors and other on-board electronic systems.
AUT 232 BRAKING SYSTEMS
4 (3-3)
AUT 232 is a course that covers theory, repair, and adjustment of
hydraulic and Antilock Braking Systems (ABS) brake systems and
related machining equipment. While learning basic electrical
principles, students will learn in this class through hands on
experience how to diagnose problems with ABS and Electronic
Stability Control in addition to rebuild and bleed advanced braking
systems. As with all automotive classes, students have the
opportunity to take NATEF end of program testing. If passed,
students will be granted two-year ASE certification that will enable
them to be more marketable as entry level technicians.
Prerequisite None
AUT 121 ENGINE PERFORMANCE –FUNDAMENTALS
5 (4-3)
This course will introduce students to the basics of engine
performance. The proper use of service information is covered
along with general engine diagnosis, entry level engine related
service, emission system diagnosis, electrical principles, and entry
level fuel system service.
Prerequisite None
AUT 241
HEATING/AIR
5 (3-3)
CONDITIONING/ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Principles, design, construction, installation, troubleshooting,
removal and service of various models of automotive air
conditioners and heating systems are examined in this course.
Emphasis is on safety procedures and practices in disassembly and
recharge of air conditioning systems.
Prerequisite AUT 107 and 108
ADVANCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE –
4 (4-3)
ADVANCED
This course will carry the student beyond basic tune-up into the
world of computer-controlled systems. Students will study the
engine sensors that feed data to an on-board microprocessor. They
will learn how the microprocessor processes and then uses data to
make a host of real time decisions concerning the correct delivery
of fuel, ignition, and emission controls to achieve maximum fuel
economy and minimum emissions output. Students will get hands
on training on late model cars to reinforce classroom theory. The
use of scan tools, computer self-diagnostics, and electrical
principles will also be covered.
AUT 122
Prerequisite None
AUT 244 INTRODUCTION TO HYBRID VEHICLES
3 (3-2)
Intended for both the entry level and experienced technicians, this
course introduces basic hybrid vehicle safety and maintenance.
Upon completion, learners will be able to identify a hybrid vehicle,
locate and identify the major components and locate, identify, and
remove the safety disconnect Hybrid Vehicle High Voltage system
following manufacturer and industry standards. This course
includes basic electrical principles.
Prerequisite AUT 107 and AUT 108
AUT 123
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS AND
5 (4-4)
TRANSAXLES
