For the Car Lovers who want to learn how this works!

This is a comprehensive course that dives deep into the concepts behind how traditional petroleum cars and trucks work. Each week we will delve into new topics as we go through the entire system from fuel tank to tires. This course is about understanding how these things work, and how the parts work together to create a running automobile. 

The atmosphere of this class is intense learning in a fun and entertaining environment. Intense becasue there is a lot of material covered at a practical level. Yet there is plenty of times for discussion and questions along the way. The weekly assignments help to make this class focused on personal experience.

Perfil
Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Early on in life I became fascinated by cars and the technology that makes them work. As a teenager I was tasked with maintaining the family business fleet of cars and trucks, which included diesels. I was rebuilding diesel injection pumps and tuning engines back in high school. This work/hobby has stayed with me through the decades as I maintained the understanding of the evolving technologies until today I maintain all my own farm equipment on my small farm. 

Couple the experience of how to do things with the deep understanding of how and why they work, and then add a unique ability to explain things in a easy to grasp way, and that describes this class.
