Course Descriptions

Electrical Foundations covers the theory and practical operation of electricity. Multi-meters and test instruments are used, giving students the solid foundation they need to understand the more advanced electrical systems covered in future coursework.

This course covers snowmobile engine designs, component identification and engine service procedures. This course also covers snowmobile fuel systems and service.

This course covers generator components and test procedures. Students will test generator voltages and learn how to diagnose and repair generators. Students should have a basic understanding of electricity and electrical meter usage.

This course covers the theory and service of hydraulic systems used on a wide range of off-road applications. Hydro-static transmissions, power steering and power trim system service will be performed. System troubleshooting as well as component service also will be included in this course.

Outboard Engine Systems introduces the fuel and electrical systems used on outboard motors. Primary focus will be on fuel and oil injection systems along with ignition, starting and charging systems. Students will learn the theories of operation and proper use of test equipment and repair.

This course covers the operational theory and service of the outboard and sterndrive drive units. Gear ratios, drive shaft housing and gear cases will be investigated. Complete drive system disassembly, measurement, analysis, shimming and rebuilding will be performed.

All-Terrain Vehicles Systems focuses on various types of four-cycle ATV engine fuel and electrical systems. Students will also examine chassis and drive train components.

This course offers a view of maintenance, diagnostics and post-repair inspections of chainsaws. Generator components and testing procedures are also covered. Students test generator voltages and learn how to diagnose and repair generators, and have the opportunity to complete several manufacturers' online service training programs.

Snowmobile Clutch and Drive Systems identifies major components of the complete drive system and discusses maintenance, routine adjustment and tuning of the continuous variable transmission (CVT).

This course focuses on various types of four-cycle motorcycle and ATV engines. Students will learn engine service and maintenance procedures. Students will also learn about motorcycle fuel systems and related components.

Students will demonstrate troubleshooting skills. Students will perform electrical tests used in diagnosing electrical failures on snowmobiles. Students will learn and demonstrate a systematic approach to troubleshooting snowmobiles.

This course is designed to test troubleshooting skills and knowledge. Students will be presented with motorcycle problems and, using a systematic approach, students will identify and repair the unit. This course is designed to simulate the role of a technician in a dealership. Students will be expected to write a work order, estimate repairs, make the repair and finalize the work order.

This course will introduce the student to foundations of the radiologic technology profession. The content will include: an examination of the organization of health care facilities and radiology departments, the radiologic technologist's role in the health care setting, professional obligations and behaviors, employment opportunities, historical significance of the profession, accreditation of educational programs, educational requirements, certification, registration, and licensure processes, and human diversity in the health care setting.

This course is designed to provide concepts of radiologic sciences and patient care. Included in the course are discussions of professionalism, effective communication, patient physical needs assessment, patient consent procedures, x-ray production characteristics, basic radiation protection procedures, health information confidentiality, medical terminology, principles of pharmacology and contrast media, quality management, ethical behaviors and legal issues in health care. The student will also demonstrate competence in routine and emergency patient care, patient transfer and safety procedures, infection control, aseptic and sterile environment procedures, and radiographic equipment manipulation.

This course will provide the student with the knowledge necessary to perform routine and mobile radiographic procedures relative to the thoracic and abdominal organs (including gastrointestinal studies), bony thorax, upper extremity and shoulder girdle. Emphasis will be on radiographic terms, anatomy, pathology, positioning, manipulation of radiographic equipment and accessories, and related patient care considerations.
