Mechanical and Automotive 10, A20, B20, A30, B30

(a)	Identify and follow safe work practices (e.g., grounding static electricity, being aware of high voltage electric drives, avoiding lead solder fumes and connecting batteries correctly) when working with automotive electrical systems, including maintaining a clean and organized work area.
(b)	Describe major electrical concepts, including atomic structure, insulators, conductors and semi-conductors.
(c)	Differentiate between voltage, resistance, current and their units of measurement.
(d)	Identify factors (e.g., length, diameter, material, temperature, connection quality and corrosion) that affect resistance and their effect on current and voltage.
(e)	Identify various sources of voltage (e.g., electro-chemical, thermal electric, piezo electric and photo electric) in automotive settings.
(f)	Apply Ohm’s law and the power equation to electrical circuits.
(g)	Differentiate between the characteristics of series, parallel and seriesparallel electric circuits.
(h)	Diagnose and perform electrical repairs by splicing, soldering, taping and/or using heat shrink tubing.
(i)	Assess the quality of electrical repairs.
