HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS

WEEK’S PROGRAM

Twelve Foothill-Highlands Rotarians

gathered in Ranch Cordova at American River

College’s Collision and Diesel Center located

at Mather Field.

Our host, Frank Beaushaw, is an instructor

in the program. He gave us some background

on his journey to become involved with the

program and eventually to become an

instructor.

He told us the program is approximately ten

years old and there are 59 students currently

enrolled. It takes anywhere from nine months

to two years to complete the course of

instruction depending on what area the

student wants to go into before they can

graduate and get a job.

ARC offers a wide variety of programs to

appeal to a diverse group of students. The

Automotive Technology, Automotive

Collision Technology and Diesel/Clean Diesel

Technology programs are a combination of

classroom and hands-on shop experiences

that prepare students for careers in all phases

of the transportation industry. Students are

trained in the use of workshop manuals in

traditional and computerized formats, hand-

held meters and scanners and special shop

tools including power and hand tools.

The Automotive Collision Technology course of

instruction provides training in automotive

collision technology. Topics include an

introduction to collision technology, structural

and non-structural repair, refinishing, collision

estimating, industry safety and electrical

repair. A sample of the requirements is as

follows: Component Repairs, Non-Structural

Repair, Structural Repair, Automotive

Refinishing, Automotive Collision Software

Systems, Estimating 1, Heating and Air-

Conditioning Systems, Suspension and

Steering Systems, Automotive Electrical

Systems and Gas Metal Arc Welding of Sheet

Steel.

The Diesel Technology program provides

training in diesel technology. Topics include an

introduction to diesel technology, diesel engine

repair, basic hydraulic principles of diesel

technology, diesel brake systems and diesel

power trains. A sample of the requirements is

as follows: Diesel Preventive Maintenance,

Diesel Engine Repair, Basic Hydraulic

Principles of Diesel Technology, Diesel Brake

Systems, Diesel Electrical Systems, Diesel

Power Trains and Clean Diesel Software

Support.

Frank shared with us that new Emissions

Laws precipitated the need for diesel

technicians.

The cost for students to complete the program

is $6,000 vs. $65,000 at UTI. Most classes are

four units at a cost of $46 per unit.

Following are pictures taken during out tour of

the facility.
