PREFACE

The following quinmester course outline is a guide to present students

with the general information regarding the history and development of. the

automobile including the career opportunities available, and the knowledge

and abilities required for advancement in the automotive mechanics field.

This course is designed as an introductory course for the automotive

mechanic. This outline consists of six blocks of instruction which are

subdivided into several units each. The course is 45 hours in length.

It is the first quin of a series of quin outlines designed for the complete

automotive mechanics course.

Indicators of success in this course are as follows: an eighth grade

equivalency score in reading comprehension, a basic knowledge of arithmetic

fundamentals, and an aptitude for mechanical achievement.

Instruction will consist of demonstrations, lectures, group discussions,

audiovisual aids and resource people from industry. Instruction will be

flexible in order to meet individual needs and abilities.

The bibliography appearing on the last page of the outline lists

several basic references along with supplementary references and audio-

visual aids.

This outline was developed through the cooperative efforts of the

instructional and supervisory personnel, the Quinmester Advisory Committee,

and the Vocational Curriculum Materials Service, and has been approved by

the Dade County Vocational Curriculum Committee.
