Students enrolled in this course will perform fundamental pressure diagnostics and inspections on hydraulic brake systems, diagnose noise and braking concerns on disc brake system components and drum brake system components, and inspect for and diagnose noise and vibration concerns on both sealed and serviceable wheel bearings.
For each unit of credit, a minimum of three hours per week with one of the hours for class and two hours for studying/preparation outside of class is expected.
The Industrial Technology Division is a committed leader in innovative workforce development by meeting the dynamic needs of business and industry through the development of student-centered education, technical excellence, and citizenship.
