Prerequisite: AB 100Auto Body Basic Skills or AB 101 and AB 102
Knowledge and skills will be developed using carefully planned panel repair projects. These will be monitored by the instructor and assistance will be given to each student as needed. Lecture/discussion sessions will provide background information that will be needed to complete panel repair projects. Projects must be completed to industry standards.
This course is required for a Two-year Certificate or an Associate Degree in Auto Collision Repair.
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 the use of panel repair tools, products and chemicals and how those items 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 basic computation skills effectively as they pertain to auto collision repair.
· use an understanding of variation in culture and human interactions to working within the team environment in the auto collision repair industry.
· apply the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to work within the ethical and professional parameters of the auto collision repair profession,
with supervision.
