Small Engine Technology I
Students learn to safely maintain and repair small internal-combustion engines used in industries such as lawn and garden, marine, and high-performance power sports (e.g., motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles). Students diagnose and service manual starting systems, ignition systems, cooling systems, and exhaust systems. This program of study qualifies students for entry level positions in service sales, parts departments, merchandising, shipping/receiving, detailing, and service writing in small engine repair labs, parts and inventory departments, service writing departments, and in sales positions. The program also prepares students for enrollment in two-year technical schools.
