14 courses with the subject PME, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
PME 101Small Engine Repair I ()6.00
This course covers the rebuilding of small, air-cooled, single-cylinder engines under fifteen cubic inch displacement. Emphasis is placed on complete engine rebuilding, including all internal engine components, following safe shop procedures. Upon completion, students should be able to safely disassemble, repair, and reassemble small engines according to industry standards. Classroom Hours (1.00), Lab/Shop Hours (15.00)
This course will be a detailed study of the single cylinder, air-cooled engine. This study will include the engine systems for .ignition, fueling, cooling, lubrication, and how they are coordinated. Also included will be both two-cycle and four-cycle engines. The specific application of these engines to lawn mowers, garden tractors, and motor cycles will be taught. Exposure to the necessary welding processes will also be included during this quarter.
PME 1102Small Engines & Equipment Repair II 5 zz12
The basic principles and theories studied in PME 1101 will be put into practice during this quarter. The theory is applied to the processes of mechanical disassembly, systematic diagnosis of problems, and recognition of detect~ve parts as well as routine servicing. Special attention is given to th~ cranking and charging systems that are unique to small engines in which the starter also serves as the generator.
This coUrse will introduce the students to the drives, brakes, and suspens· ion systems that are unique to riding lawn mowers and garden tractors. A complete study will be stressed. Hydraulic systems as they are used in lawn mowers and garden tractors will be studied in theory and practice during th is quarter.
PME 1104Small Engines & Equipment Repair IV 5 2212
297 This ·quarter will include a study of both motorcycle mechanics and out· 297 board engines. Included will be motorcycles, motor scooters, rnini~bikes, 297 as well as the various kinds of marine engines. Practical application will 297 be an integral part of this course. 33 Prerequisite: PME 1101, PME 1102 ·51 Special Note on Related Col(rse • • 122-1 Small Engines & Equipment Repair students will be required to take a course in Communications Skills before they are eligible for graduation. 99
A major emphasis is the actual "hands on" experience with real machinery. Theory is applied to the processes of mechanical disassembly, systematic diagnosis of problems, and recognition of defective parts, and . routine servicing. Safety instruction precedes all other and continues throughout the course. Live, defective machinery provides the bulk of laboratory experiences. The major proportion of time will be spent servicing lawn mowers, garden tractors, outboard engines, and chain saws. Special classroom attention is given to the cranking and charging systems unique to small engines in which the starter also serves as a generator. 'WLD 1102 Introduction to Electrical Welding This course is a continued development of basic knowledge and welding skills essential to the mechanic. Instruction is designed to acquaint the student with arc welding, MIG welding, and TIG welding equipment and processes. Opportunity is provided for skill development in the use of these processes and.equipment in application involving a variety of methods used in joining metals of various types. · PME 1127 Lawn Mower and Garden Tractor Drives, Suspension, Brakes and Hydraulics < • This course will.introduce students to the .drives, brakes and suspensions systems unique to riding lawn mowers and garden tractors. A complete study will be stressed. Hydraulic systems as they occur in garden tractors will be studied in theory and practice.
A thorough knowledge of internal combustions engines is required for this course in motorcycle mechanics. Motorcycles, motor-scooters and mini-bikes will be studied in great detail. Ignition, fuel, lubrication, braking suspension, and drive systems for motorcycles will be studied. Practical application of the theory learned earlier is the keystone. 110 uPHOLSTERY INTRODUCTION The field of Upholstery is ever expanding. The constantly changing designs in home furnishing makes it necessary for increased numbers of qualified upholsterers to be available. Also, the field of Automobile upholstery and re-upholsterers is growing rapidly. Attempts are made to , give students practical experience on furniture and automobiles. These experiences should ·be closely related to actual job experiences. This training is an ideal way to prepare students for entry into an occupation that offers many job opportunities. 111
Students will study the systems of wiring and vacuum pumps in this course. Knowledge of the systems as well as diagnostic skills should be obtained from endeavor.
PME 1136Automotive Testing Equipment and Machinery Processes
Testing equipment and machinery processes become more · and more important with todays cars. The student will be trained .on modern test equipment and machines to prepare him to be a contemporary automotive technician. AUT ll37 Automotive Transmission and Hypoid Differential Rebuilding This course will emphasize the complete rebuilding of.the automotive drive train system. The student will be thoroughly trained on .the various kinds of transmissions and hypoid differentials.
