EPA certification is also a requirement to complete this course. Auto2013M is a fall semester course. Tools identified on the student tool list are required for this course. Note that for the AEP, MCAP, MLR, and SU pathways, on-line training may be required to receive credit for this course. Successful completion of AUTO1011M, AUTO1012M, and AUTO1022M with a minimum grade of C is required to register for this course. Prerequisites: Successful completion of AUTO1011M, AUTO1012M, and AUTO1022Mwith a minimum grade of C.

HVAC224M - Warm Air and Steam Systems Lab This lab is a continuation of HVAC 214 and covers installation of steam and warm air systems, layout and make up of ductwork, multi-fuel units, and gas heating. Prerequisite: HVAC114M, HVAC115M, HVAC119M, HVAC120M, HVAC134M, HVAC135M, Corequisite: HVAC223M

AUTO1021M - Steering and Suspension Systems AUTO1021M is an in-depth study of steering and suspension systems, alignment geometry, and procedures including the service and diagnosis of these systems. This course also includes the latest cutting-edge electronic controlled systems. Using the skills and knowledge learned, students will perform the same procedures, and diagnose system concerns on today’s automobiles and light trucks just as a technician would in an automotive service department. AUTO1021M is a spring semester course. Tools identified on the student tool list are required for this course. Note that for the AEP, MCAP, MLR, and SU pathways, on-line training is required to receive credit for this course. A minimum grade of C is required to continue on to AUTO1031M, AUTO1032M, and AUTO1033M.

FYE100AM - MCC Essentials-Bus Studies Whether you are a recent or not-so-recent high school graduate, MCC Essentials will introduce you to the people, resources, and services that will help you reach your goal of career or transfer. The class covers academic and career planning; options for financing college and their impact on your short and long-term financial well-being; the supports and resources available to help you become a proactive learner with strong self-advocacy skills. Strategies to help you make the most of your time and tuition dollars are introduced.
