This course will develop the basic knowledge and skills required to troubleshoot, repair and maintain basic electrical/electronic systems that are utilized on today's heavy duty vehicles. Emphasis will be placed on the Direct Current (DC) fundamentals and vehicle charging and starting systems. This course will help the student prepare for ASE certification.

This course will focus on the skills and knowledge required for today's technician to effectively diagnose, service and repair heavy duty suspension systems. Analysis of the construction and working principles of chassis components including vehicle frames, suspension systems, steering systems, wheels and tires will be covered along with wheel alignment. This course will help the student prepare for ASE certification.

All college students, regardless of their college major, need to be able to make reasonable decisions about fiscal, environmental, and health issues that require quantitative reasoning skills. An activity based approach is used to explore numerical relationships, graphs, proportional relationships, algebraic reasoning, and problem solving using linear, exponential and other mathematical models. Students will develop conceptual and procedural tools that support the use of key mathematical concepts in a variety of contexts.

In this course, learners will build the advanced skills needed to perform complex operations in the single and multi engine aircraft. This course includes a combination of dual instruction and solo practice. Upon completion of this course, Learners will have accrued 8 (eight) hours of flight time in a single engine airplane, 11 (eleven) hours in the multiengine aircraft, and 4 (four) hours in an advanced aviation training device.

This course will develop the knowledge and skills required to troubleshoot, repair and maintain heavy duty vehicle braking systems. Hydraulic and pneumatic drum and disc systems will be covered. This course will help prepare for ASE certification.

In this course, learners will be introduced to the required Commercial Pilot maneuvers in a single-engine aircraft. The course includes a combination of dual instruction and solo practice. Upon completion of this course, learners will have accrued 23 (twenty-three) hours in a single engine aircraft and 4.5 (four and a half) hours of time in the advanced aviation training device. Learners will demonstrate the minimum set of skills necessary to properly perform Commercial Airplane Single Engine Land flight maneuvers, performance takeoffs and landings, stalls in a single-engine aircraft.

The student will develop the knowledge and skills to operate in today's heavy duty vehicle repair facility. Shop safety, hazardous material handling, hand tool identification and tool and personal safety will be emphasized. Skills development will be stress in the areas of precision measurement instrument usage, basic mechanical skills, and basic wiring skills learn the basic skills. Additionally, the course will include instruction on use of electronic information services, hard copy shop manuals and Wisconsin automotive practice regulations (ATCP132.)

The student will develop the knowledge and skills that are required to conduct preventative maintenance on today's heavy duty vehicles. Students will become familiar with established industry standards and regulations (state and federal) and the NORTH AMERICAN out of service criteria. Vehicle inspections will be conducted on both on and off road vehicles with emphasis on component identification and inspections and preventative maintenance services. This course will help the student prepare for ASE certification.

In this course, students explore the Gateway Technical College community. They examine college resources and services, investigate skills that lead to academic success, and identify strategies for achieving educational and personal goals.

In this course, learners will apply pre-flight planning strategies while planning and executing cross-country flights in multi-engine and single-engine aircraft. The course includes a combination of dual instruction and solo practice. Upon completion of this course, learners will have accrued 26 (twenty-six) hours in a single-engine aircraft, 22 (twenty-two) hours of time in a multi-engine aircraft, and 3 (three) hours in an advanced aviation training device.
