Auto I

This course is designed for all juniors and seniors who are interested in Automotive Technology. It is composed of the theory and
operation of all mechanical, electrical, high performance and computer fuel injection systems of domestic vehicles. This course will provide the student
with experiences that include occupational shop task skills, electrical component tear down and assembly, engine overhaul, brakes, general repair and
preventative maintenance. Students will learn the proper procedures of  troubleshooting, diagnosis and repair, and also gain knowledge of how to use
resources, tools, and test equipment found in modern automotive repair facilities.  Emphasis is placed on hands-on participation. Students may earn credit at Carl Sandburg College
.

Auto II

This course consists of phases of general automotive servicing. Most work is done on automobiles just as they would come in the auto
dealer's service department. This course is offered at the campus of Carl Sandburg College. It is offered in a dual credit format. A review of academic
progress, attendance records and history of discipline is used to appropriately place students. Credit is awarded only at the end of Term 2 and Term 4,
therefore, if a student drops out of the program before the end of Term 2 or before the end of Term 4, for whatever reason, there will be no credit awarded.  Some use of personal transportation may be needed.
