SCHOOLS OF UTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY UTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY IV This course will begin with an advanced review of material covered in utomotive Technology III, II, and I will help improve the work habits and learning skills of the students. utomotive Technology IV will prepare the students with employable skills by training them in the following SE areas: Phase two of -6 Electrical/Electronics, this section will enable the students to learn how to diagnose accessories, driver information, safety devices systems and read and interpret wiring diagrams. The last phase of instruction incorporates all levels of study to better understand Engine Performance. Engine performance includes general engine diagnosis, computerized engine controls diagnosis and repair, ignition system diagnosis and repair, fuel air and exhaust system diagnosis and repair, and emission control systems diagnosis and repair. The main objective of the utomotive Curriculum is to enable the student a smooth transition from school to industry. In addition to the regular curriculum students will study alternative fuel vehicles. They will include hybrids, bio-diesel, and electric plug-in vehicles. Students will learn safety issues that have to be followed to insure personal safety. The students will learn how to safely perform vehicle maintenance on the different alternative vehicles. Passaic County Technical Institute s automotive program is a National utomotive Technicians Educational Foundation (NTEF) Certified program, which offers students instruction in the four basic areas of automotive technology. This program provides students with industry-based standards in Engine Performance, Brakes, Electrical/Electronics as well as in Steering and Suspension. The task-based curriculum teaches industry standards so that the student can have a smooth transition to the work environment. Students enter this in the first year by applying both to our School of utomotive Technology. This exploratory year enables students to participate in our NTEF certified uto Collision Repair and our utomotive Technology Program. The half-year course is designed to have student explore all possibilities of the automotive industry. utomotive Technology I provides entry-level tasks that can accent either program. The program begins with a comprehensive safety program that is reinforced every year. The students will identify, select, operate, and maintain equipment used in various automotive shops such as: hydraulic jacks, safety stands, car lifts, tire mounting and dismounting machines, battery chargers and testers as well as hand tools associated with the industry. Students will perform routine maintenance schedules, which involve fluid inspections, replacement, adjustments and lubrication. Second year students have selected utomotive Technology as a major, These students can demonstrate written and performance driven competencies. Building upon skills from the previous year they will participate in a safety program as well as a shop maintenance program. Major areas of concentration are SE task area -1 (Engine Repair) and -5 (Brake Systems). Engine repair gives the student basic
knowledge and the correct operation of the power plant of today s modern vehicles. This becomes the foundation of all the levels to come. Brakes systems are an overview, which will enable students to identify, clean, inspect and repair brake components. Level Three begins with an advanced review of levels II & I and also improve the work habits and learning skill of the students. SE Task reas are -4 (Steering and Suspension) an -6 (Electrical / Electronics-phase 1). -4 teaches the basic components, inspection, repair and adjustments of today s complex steering and suspension systems. -6 phase-1 is electrical theory, battery, charging system and starting system inspection and repair. Completing levels I, II, & III prepares the student with enough employable skills that makes them eligible for the utomotive Youth Education System (YES). YES is an industry-based program that sponsors a junior in High School as an apprentice for the summer. yes students generally become part of the School to Work program at PCTI so that students can finish their senior year by going to academic class in the morning and working in the afternoon. Basically earning while learning. Level IV begins with an advanced review of, uto I, II, & III. SE task areas are -6 phase II and - (Engine Performance). Phase II presents ccessory diagnosis, driver information systems, safety device systems and interpreting wiring diagrams. - Engine Performance includes general engine diagnosis, computerized engine controls, and emission control devices.
