Description
The rapid technological advances in the automotive industry force professionals in the sector to constantly update their knowledge, for this reason the course is presented: “Technical update in automotive maintenance” whose purpose is to present current theoretical and practical contents in this field. This course is aimed at teachers and the general public.
Sustainable development goals
Quality education
Decent work and economic growth
Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Reduction of inequalities
Objectives and methodology
Objectives:
Objective
- Know the new technologies and maintenance processes of different systems equipped in modern vehicles.
Specific objectives
- Update technical knowledge applied to automotive maintenance.
- Know different applications of the oscilloscope and other equipment for automotive diagnosis.
- Know the applications of thermography in the field of automotive maintenance
Course methodology
Within the face-to-face component (20 hours) the teacher will present theoretical technical content related to the technology of different systems of the modern vehicle, in addition to demonstrating the technical procedures for the diagnosis of sensors, and diagnosis and adjustment of actuators, as practices. of workshop. At the beginning of the module, the use of the oscilloscope as a diagnostic tool will be known. Students will carry out practices in private vehicles, with the advice of the teacher - tutor. As an additional resource, all students will need to independently purchase access to the platform “elected” where they will carry out different diagnostic and repair simulation exercises of the automotive systems studied. Students will also carry out the autonomous component (20 hours) on this platform, where they will solve various previously configured problems.
Duration
Duration: 40 hours (20 contact hours and 20 hours of autonomous work).
