Motor Mechanical

The Motor Mechanical course is a vocational training program focused on the maintenance, repair, and overall mechanics of motor vehicles. This course provides hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge essential for a career in automotive repair and maintenance. Here’s an overview of the course:

1. Course Overview:

• Objective: To equip students with the skills necessary to diagnose, repair, and maintain various motor vehicles, focusing on the mechanical aspects of engines, transmissions, brakes, and other vehicle systems.
• Duration: The course typically lasts from 1 to 2 years, depending on the level of certification and specific program.
• Eligibility: Generally, a high school diploma or equivalent is required. Some programs may also accept individuals with a basic understanding of automotive systems.

2. Key Topics Covered:

• Engine Mechanics: Detailed study of internal combustion engines, including the operation, disassembly, inspection, repair, and reassembly of gasoline and diesel engines.
• Transmission Systems: Understanding and repairing both manual and automatic transmission systems, including clutches, gearboxes, and drivetrains.
• Suspension and Steering Systems: Maintenance and repair of vehicle suspension systems, including shock absorbers, springs, and steering mechanisms.
• Braking Systems: Techniques for inspecting, diagnosing, and repairing braking systems, including hydraulic and electronic braking systems (ABS).
• Electrical Systems: Basic introduction to automotive electrical systems, including battery, alternator, starter motor, and wiring.
• Fuel and Exhaust Systems: Overview of fuel systems, including carburetors, fuel injection, and exhaust systems, along with emission controls.
• Cooling and Lubrication Systems: Understanding the operation and maintenance of engine cooling and lubrication systems.
