All courses are for unit credit and apply to a De Anza associate degree unless otherwise noted.
Four and one-half hours lecture (54 hours total per quarter).
Gaseous fuels include Propane, Compressed Natural Gas, liquefied Natural Gas and hydrogen. Propane has been used as an engine fuel for over 80 years. After gasoline and diesel it is the third most popular fuel. It is used to powers over four million vehicles. Compressed Natural Gas, liquefied Natural Gas are being used in many fleet applications and have a large pipeline distribution system. Hydrogen is used in a fuel cell to create electricity and expels water. Two major automobile manufacturers have introduced hydrogen powered cars. As a society we are moving towards having humans have less of an impact on our environment and the gaseous fuel are a big part of the movement.
APRN 67J Introduction to Automotive and 4 1/2 Units Light Truck Diesel Systems
Prerequisite: Open only to apprentices in the Automotive Technologies Apprenticeship Program (an approved program by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards).
Four and one-half hours lecture (54 hours total per quarter).
As of January 2010, California state law required light duty diesel powered vehicles to be included in the smog check program. Diesel's higher efficiency is moving these vehicle's highway mileage to over 40 miles per gallon. Chevrolet, Jeep and Mazda are all adding diesel powered vehicles into their new car line-up. This course will consist of lectures and laboratory demonstrations. Providing our students with the necessary skills to maintain and repair light duty diesel vehicles. Diesel training will give students new abilities that are required to be successful in their careers in the automotive industry.
