AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY 12 – Applied Academics
This course maintains a focus on automotive systems, related components and the automobile as an integral part of our society. The depth of investigation reached in AT 11 will be extended throughout all of the automotive systems. The course will assist the student to adopt trouble-shooting strategies that are grounded in both theory and practical application. Knowledge of power, energy, and automotive principles focuses class work towards systematic methods of servicing. As this course requires “hands-on” activities final grades will reflect safe work shop behaviour and quality of participation in addition to theory & lab marks. As an active member of a team, strategies are devised for meeting challenges including identifying, removing, repairing, and replacing system components and related engine parts. Participation in this course will include a more in-depth exploration of some potential career paths and post-secondary programs and may include additional time for guidance in applying for such opportunities.
