From routine maintenance to full fledged restoration and modification, Vehicle Services teaches you theory, estimating, repair and troubleshooting of today’s cars. This course will focus on ignition and fuel systems, engines, drivetrains, suspension and brakes. You will learn using the newest test equipment, tools, and our Mustang chassis dynometer. Students will work on live applications, both personal and school supplied. No drivers license is required. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about this profitable industry and more about your car. The student is not expected to have a car of his/her own to work on, but is expected to occasionally have access to a borrowed car to work on. Students will be working in teams on all labs. Trimester two is our engine rebuilding unit. Students are expected to provide an engine; however school engines can be provided for students who cannot locate one.

Advanced Vehicle Services7777 Advanced Vehicle Services A Grade: 127778 Advanced Vehicle Services B Site: Rosemount High School7779 Advanced Vehicle Services C Prer: Vehicle Services A-C or Instructor Approval Length: Two Periods, Full Year

In Trimester one we will be covering advanced vehicle drive train systems. These include but are not limited to ABS brake systems, drive axle service, suspension and steering part replacement and rebuild, alignment and automatic transmission rebuild (using GM TH350). Students will design and complete a shop improvement project to gain a sense of ownership and responsibility.

In Trimester two students will perform a complete engine rebuild with a final result of the engine running on a designated stand. Students will likely be using a GM/CHV. 350. Students are permitted, but not required, to supply their own engines and components.

In the third trimester we will delve deeper into modern day ignition and fuel system diagnosis and repair. Students will spend time analyzing computer scan diagnostic information. Students will also work with electrical circuits to both troubleshoot and repair faults. Late model testing equipment and vehicles will be provided.

This advanced level course is project-based, hands-on and detail-oriented. The course requires successful completion of Vehicle Services A, B, and C as well as being a self-motivated, independent learner.

“Imagine a medical device that travels through the human body to seek out and destroy small clusters of cancerous cells before they can spread. Or a box no larger than a sugar cube that contains the entire contents of the Library of Congress. Or materials much lighter than steel that possess ten times as much strength” – U.S. National Science Foundation

Nanotechnology is the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic molecular scale. This emerging career field is having a significant impact on all areas of society by creating products that are better built, longer lasting , cleaner, safer, and smarter. These products are being introduced in such fields as communications, medicine, transportation, and agriculture. For these reasons, Nanotechnology is sometimes referred to as “the next industrial revolution”.

Nanotechnology is offered through a unique partnership with Dakota County Technical College (DCTC). Students will have access to technical equipment in a state of the art Nanotechnology Lab at DCTC in order to study sense of scale, optics, fluid mechanics, photonics and lasers with an emphasis on new devises and applications based on nanoscale properties. The class will meet one day during a typical week at the DCTC Nano Lab. Due to lab availability, this two credit course will meet 0 Hour through Period 1 (6:45am-8:10am). Students will have the opportunity to receive college credit for this course.
