CAREER PATHWAY

• Motorcycle/ATV/    Snowmobile Service Technician

• Parts & Accessories  Associate

• Powersports Salesperson

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Outdoor Powersports/small engines/marine technicians inspect, service, and repair small engines, marine outboard motors, recreational vehicles, and motorcycles. Students in this one-year, first-year course learn to use hand and power tools and various precision measuring instruments, basic engine theory, two and four cycle engine overhaul, lubrication, cooling systems, electrical systems, carburetor and fuel systems. Types of equipment worked on include but are not limited to motorcycles, powered lawn mowers, snowmobiles, marine outboard motors, and ATVs. Students are encouraged to participate in SkillsUSA (student organization) to enhance their leadership opportunities and compete at both state and national levels

Second year Outdoor Powersports students will continue working on vehicle classes as in Year One, but in a wider variety of technology and greater independence in diagnostics and repair. Class and shop work in this one-year, second-year course will focus on theory and application of basic and advanced electrical systems, fuel injection systems, ignition systems, transmissions and clutches, and suspension systems. More advanced measuring tools will be used.

 

PROGRAM STATEMENT

Students that successfully complete two years of Outdoor PowerSports will have the basic  skills necessary to work successfully in the field of small motors. With this foundation, they should be able to advance quickly with work experience and professional guidance on the job.
