ABCT1535

Students apply basic procedures on production type vehicles and projects according to ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) and I-CAR (Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair) standards. This is a lab course in which students apply and refine skills learned in co-courses. Students accomplish this by having the opportunity to observe, practice and demonstrate these skills in an industry like setting. Instructor guided projects along with live customer work allow students to experience a wide range of structured reinforcement of skills specific to their major. Emphasis will be placed on demonstrating these principles to industry standards (SOP) and completing entry level technician processes. Student Learning Outcomes
