Abstract
This course covers departmental procedures and practices as well expectations of the students in the programs. Safety, environmental concerns, and simulated Right to Know training are a significant part of the course. Basic tools, tool usage, basic power tools, and care of them are included. Threaded fasteners, drive types, torqueing, thread compounds, cutting methods, gluing, and adhesives are covered from a generic point and not vehicle-specific.
