Transportation Systems

Transportation Systems is an exploratory introductory course covering three distinct areas of transportation: land - air - water. Students will research and create projects related to each of the three topics. For instance, while learning about air transportation, students might apply aerodynamic principles while designing and building a working glider. In the land transportation unit, students learn about gasoline engines by disassembling a small lawn mower engine and rebuilding it to specifications. While rebuilding the gasoline engine, students discover how the different systems work together to power a lawn mower. Further topics include lab orientation, safety, machine operations, computer applications, hand tools, metal working, automotive work, and career exploration. Quarterly reports will be assigned to help assist students with their writing and communication skills. This is an excellent preparation for Automotive Technology Systems.
