POWER TECHNOLOGY 10 – Applied Academics

Students will use tools, machines, and processes to solve challenges related to using energy to do work. All types of mechanical devices such as small engines, basic electrical and magnetic devices, and metal work-related principles may be included to explore practical applications of the concepts & theories taught in academic courses.  The correct and safe use of tools and equipment will be stressed. This course is a prerequisite for the grade 11 courses.

AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY 11 (WOMEN) – Applied Academics

The course will follow the standard Automotive 11 curriculum to better meet the physical and developmental needs of young women and build confidence in their ability to use tools, diagnose problems, and perform mechanical tasks. 

Automotive 11 focuses on basic introduction to the automobile and the various systems (mechanical, electrical, cooling, etc.) which work together to produce a functioning vehicle.  The various units will include basic maintenance tasks and diagnostic procedures – especially those which can be performed at home or are typical assignments for beginning apprentices.  The course will include tools and techniques to ensure safe working conditions and to help students avoid physical strain or injury when performing repair tasks.  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.  Participation in this course will include an exploration of some potential career paths and post-secondary programs.  Students who have not completed Power Tech 10 may enrol in the course with counsellor approval. Note: only one of Auto 11 or Auto 11W can be taken for credit.

AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY 11 – Applied Academics

This course focuses on automotive systems, related components and the automobile as an integral part of our society.  The various units will include basic maintenance tasks and diagnostic procedures – especially those which can be performed at home or are typical assignments for beginning apprentices.  The course will include tools and techniques to ensure safe working conditions and to help students avoid physical strain or injury when performing repair tasks.  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.  Participation in this course will include an exploration of some potential career paths and post-secondary programs. 

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.
