This module will develop the students practical understanding attained in Automotive Workshop Practice 1 of sustainable automotive technologies.
This module demonstrates modern vehicle technical operating systems within an automotive workshop environment in support of the Programmes theory related modules.
High Voltage Health and Safety: Recognize automotive electrical hazards Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV). Apply Health & Safety Authority Ireland / EU automotive workshop regulations, Manufacture Health & Safety guidelines and workshop repair safety procedures, automotive battery Hazards and disposal.
Internal Combustion Engine management systems for indirect injection petrol and diesel variants: identify, and test engine management control systems, fuel and air supply and sub-systems of modern low emission ICE. ECU, open loop, closed loop, engine management sensors and actuators.
Drivetrain, chassis control and active safety systems: braking systems, Anti-lock brakes, steering and suspension systems components of light and heavy vehicles. Front wheel alignment.
Manual Transmission; demonstrate transmission and transaxle components and operation. Show the operation of final drive differential unit. Identify Main drivetrain components: driveshaft, universal / constant velocity joints, flywheel, clutch,
Automotive diagnostic tooling and emission analysers for petrol and diesel vehicles, demonstrate diagnostic and emission test equipment, multimeter, oscilloscope and precision test equipment.
Identify, overhaul and inspection of internal combustion engine sub-system components; Block, crankshaft, camshaft, pistons, connecting rods, valves and operating mechanisms. Lubrication and cooling system identification.
