|---|---|---|---|---|
| Automotive Service Technician | AUTO1450 | Energy Transportation |
55 | Students will be given a theoretical overview of automotive systems, and the safe operation of tools and equipment including meters and trade related hand and power tools. A major component of this course will deal with part and component identification and location. In addition the student will learn safe shop procedures including hoisting and jacking procedures and proper treatment of customer vehicles. Basic automotive procedures will also be covered including: fluids inspection and service, wheel and tire service, brake inspections and diagnosing, and other sub-component service. |
| Interior Finishing | CARP1860 | Construction | 50 | Students will be introduced to the field of carpentry by studying the history, origins and background of the carpentry trade. Common hand and power tools used in carpentry in the residential, industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) sectors will be discussed along with approaches needed to complete small scaled carpentry projects. Topics will also include quality, craftsmanship, career opportunities in carpentry, skills and knowledge needed to be a successful carpenter and the industry expectations for entry into the field. |
| Carpentry Fundamentals | CARP1870 | Construction | 50 | Students will apply the content studied in theory in a shop environment by completing hands-on projects specific to exterior finishes. Students will be instructed on the proper use of both hand and power carpentry finishing tools, and will practice safe use of the common tools encountered on a construction site. Students will also practice proper installation methods in order to meet industry standards. |
| Truck and Coach Technician | MOTV1125 | Transportation | 55 | Students will be given a theoretical overview of truck systems, and the safe operation of tools and equipment including meters and trade related hand and power tools.
