Course Description
Addendum to Course Description
This course is to develop knowledge and skills in the care and use of frame repair equipment, identification of frame misalignment and/or alignment, use of frame gauges, frame repair procedures, suspension alignment, shop safety, problem solving, communication skills, computation skills, human relations, and environmental awareness. The course also includes MIG welding of light gauge metal and frame members (steel), and the use of oxy--acetylene welding equipment.
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon successful completion of this course students should be able to:
· communicate effectively with employers, coworkers and customers, adapting to feedback as it pertains to terminology, processes and skills of auto collision repair and professional workplace behavior on a limited basis.
· work safely in the auto collision repair industry and apply a proper understanding of collision theory to the use of frame straightening and alignment equipment, and how products and chemicals affect the local and global environment.
· identify and implement strategies and processes to solve workplace and vehicle repair problems, access and utilize repair information in a rapidly
changing technology on a limited basis.
· apply necessary advanced computation skills effectively as they pertain to frame repair measuring and 4way wheel alignment.
· use an understanding of variation in culture and human interactions to working within the team environment in the auto collision repair industry.
· apply the frame repair knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to work within the ethical and professional parameters of the auto collision repair
profession, with supervision.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
The student will be assessed on his/her ability to demonstrate the development of course outcomes. The methods of assessment may include one or more of the following: oral or written examinations, quizzes, written assignments, visual inspection techniques, safe work habits, task performance and work relations.
