Each Practical and Applied Arts credit is based on 100 hours of instructional time. Course configurations, for purposes of articulation with post-secondary programs within the trades (specified in Appendix A), will require the completion of specific modules. Introductory modules must precede Intermediate modules that must precede Advanced modules. See the suggested course configurations chart.
Module 1: Safety, Module 2: Auto Construction, Module 3: Hand Tools, Module 4: Power Tools, Module 5: Metal Straightening, Module 6: Filling Damage, Module 7: Panel Replacement and Module 8: Contoured Surface Rust Repair could be taught in a multi-purpose work area in a school. Both noise level and availability of the needed tools should be considered. Automotive metal panels mounted on stands could be used instead of complete automobiles if space is a problem. In addition to the Autobody modules, suggested modules from the Practical and Applied Arts Welding Curriculum Guidelines will be incorporated to teach basic skills. M.I.G. (110v power supply) and oxy-acetylene welding equipment need to be considered for inclusion in the program, if the student has no previous welding experience.
Autobody 10 is a prerequisite for Autobody A20. Autobody A20 is a prerequisite for Autobody B20, etc. Autobody A20, B20, A30 and B30 deal primarily with the repair of collision damage to vehicles. Some mechanical knowledge of steering, suspension, electrical and braking systems may be necessary. Consult the Mechanical, Automotive Studies Curriculum Guidelines (Saskatchewan Education 1999) and/or teacher. Because specialized tools and facilities may be necessary, Autobody A20, B20, A30 and B30 may need to be taught in cooperation with a community partner. A determining factor when choosing modules will be the specific damage to the vehicles that are chosen or available for repair. Time allocated for each module will need to be adjusted according to the damage being repaired.
Work Study provides the opportunity for students to:
Sites for work study may include autobody repair businesses, industrial manufacturing plants (painting or finishing), glass replacement businesses, automotive dealerships, automotive sales, automotive cleaning businesses, automotive salvage businesses and insurance claims outlets. Refer to the Work Study Guidelines, a section of the Practical and Applied Arts Handbook and the Career, Work Exploration Curriculum Guidelines (TBD), for information on required and best practices for student preparation, employer partnerships and teacher responsibilities.
