POWER MECHANICS 1 |
.5 |
Q |
|
| |
Students learn the principles and methods of engine disassembly, inspection, and diagnosing causes of breakdown and failure of engine parts. They specialize in the repair of 2 and 4 cycle engines while learning proper procedure, correct use of tools, safety, and test equipment. Small Engines is an entry level course preparing the student for possible careers as a mechanic, parts person, salesperson, power equipment technician, designer, automotive service technician, or automotive electrician.

ELECTRICITY/ELECTRONICS |
.5 |
Q |
|
| |
Students explore the fields of electricity in home repair, building construction, and maintenance related jobs. Making use of hands on projects, students study the laws governing the construction of electrical circuits in residential and mechanical facilities. Students review the basic rules of electricity as they relate to current, voltage and resistance in experimental circuits. Students explore further using semiconductors and solid state devices and soldering of components onto printed circuit boards. | | 5761 |
