Course Description

Covers replacing new and used weld-on panels, such as rocker panels, quarter panels and rear body panels. Includes preparation and installation of cosmetic and structural weld-on panels. Audit available.

Addendum to Course Description

This is an outcome-based course using a lecture/lab format. This course includes classroom discussions, videotapes, and lab demonstrations covering technical skills. Course outcomes will include structural part design, three types of sectioning joints, MIG welding, resistance spot welding, corrosion protection, safety and environmental awareness, communication, computations and human relations. 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.
· work safely in the auto collision repair industry and apply a proper understanding of the use of advanced welding equipment and 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.
· apply necessary 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 weldon panel replacement knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to work within the ethical and professional parameters of the auto
collision repair profession, with limited 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
  • work relations.

Related Instruction

Computation
Hours: 30

Outcomes: 

1. apply necessary computation skills effectively as they pertain to auto collision repair.
 

Activities:

· students will build mock frame rails according to specific dimensional guide lines that include multiple bends areas and proper angles.
· measure and cut the three required splices, butt weld without backing, butt weld with backing and an offset lap weld.
· measuring dimensions, metal thickness,(gage), wire speed rates, voltage settings during welding.
· determine the severity of damaged vehicles using the proper measuring equipment depending on the damage; measuring tape, tram gage, universal
measuring system or the computerized measuring system.
· write collision estimates that include adding, subtracting, and multiplying for parts and materials costs, labor calculations, and overlapping operations.

Communication
Hours: 28

Outcomes:

1. 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.
2. identify and implement strategies and processes to solve workplace and vehicle repair problems, access and utilize repair information in a rapidly
changing technology.
 

Activities:

· writing collision damage estimates using collision estimating guides that include parts descriptions, repair procedures, included and non included
operations.
· required reading of 54 pages in the text book “Auto Body Repair Technology”
· answering chapter review and ASE style questions and students reading some of those answers aloud in class.
· students will fill out safety sheets and write a repair plan.
· write summaries of the repairs, explaining the techniques that were used during the repair, measuring system, types of welds, size of welds and the type of corrosion protection that was applied.
· presenting oral evaluations of any challenges and/or problems or items learned that they experienced from shop labs from the previous day.
· students explain technical terminology definitions when called on during classroom time or within their shop lab team.
 

Human Relations
Hours: 140

Outcomes:

1. use an understanding of variation in culture and human interactions to working within the team environment in the auto collision repair industry.
2. apply the weldon panel replacement knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to work within the ethical and professional parameters of the auto
collision repair profession, with limited supervision.

Activities:

· students learn about team concepts and cultural awareness through class room presentation and dialogue
· students are required to function as a contributing member of a team or group during panel replacement activities.
· they have to work together to prepare both a written and oral repair plan and come to an agreement upon the proper sequence and method of replacement or repair of the various collision repair projects.
· students must coordinate and cooperate in the set-up and use of equipment.
· because of the diversity of students within the program, they must learn to work with fellow classmates of different race, gender and ethnicity.
· they must also learn to communicate with team members using English as the primary language.
· team building competency will include instruction based upon the experience of the instructor working within the team environment used
within the auto collision repair industry.
