Automotive Innovations: The Art & Science of Car Engineering Technology, skill, safety, style—all are crucial in the world of cars. This 13-part series takes an informed and informative look at the past, present, and most of all the future of the automobile. With the help of high-powered visuals and expert interviews, each program explores state-of-the-art car designs and the forces that shape them—such as economics, environmental concerns, computers, and the search for good old-fashioned driving pleasure.
Electrical Systems This seven-part series uses cutaways, animated component builds, diagrams, close-ups of parts, and footage of auto techs doing tests and making repairs to illustrate the operation and servicing of automotive electrical systems. Includes information on both late-model and older-style vehicles. Viewable/printable instructor’s guides are available online. Correlates to all National CTE Organizational Standards (including the provisions of the Perkins Act).
Chassis and Front End Make sure your students have the best possible training in chassis and front-end parts and service. This nine-part series will support any intensive course covering the following systems and how they are serviced: brakes, steering, suspension, and both conventional and front-wheel-drive wheel bearings. Wheel alignment theory and adjustment is also a program topic.
Powertrain Technology and Service From cutting-edge component design to fine-tuned methods of service and repair, this seven-part series takes viewers through the ins and outs of automotive powertrain technology. Each video covers a specific component or set of components, using detailed cutaways and stylish animated diagrams to demonstrate working parts and how they’re serviced. Whether the topic is pistons or planetary gearsets, drive axles or differential disassembly.
Automotive HVAC This three-part series uses live-action footage and computer animation to illustrate the action that takes place inside a car’s heating and air-conditioning systems. Demonstrates electrical tests, using refrigerant recovery systems, evacuation, charging with just a gauge set, and charging with a charging station. Also covers troubleshooting techniques.
Automotive Maintenance and Safety Combines four safety videos in various subject areas to provide a comprehensive look at this important topic.
Strategy-based Automotive Diagnosis Understanding how to repair cars is at the core of every automotive lesson plan. But out in the real world, determining why a car that comes into the shop has a certain problem is often the most challenging part of the repair process. Today’s automotive industry needs not just gearheads, but smart diagnostic technicians. Each program in this series describes a seven-step diagnostic plan that can be applied to any repair issue, teaching students the thinking skills needed to efficiently investigate and fix them right the first time.
Safety and Technology Series Working in the crafts and the trades is a rewarding way for people to get their hands into their work—but it can be dangerous, too. This six-part series shows how to play it safe when working with technology used in various professions. Protect your students by making these videos compulsory viewing! Correlates to all National CTE Organizational Standards (including the provisions of the Perkins Act).
