Program
The curriculum program in Marine Propulsion Systems is a one-year program
leading to certificate. It provides training for outboard engine technicians
through classroom instruction, laboratory experiments, and shop practices
in the repair and maintenance of outboard engines, inboard/outboard engines,
stern drives and jet propulsion systems.
The course work includes all areas of the outboard engine including:
powerhead, midsection and lower unit. Ignition systems, fuel systems,
cooling systems and rigging are covered in detail.
Students have ample opportunity for hands-on experimentation and disassembly
of component parts and rebuilding procedures. Students are also exposed
to the latest in electronic ignition and fuel systems, and computer diagnostics.
Graduates of the curriculum should qualify for employment opportunities
as outboard engine service technicians, technician apprentices, parts
and service departments, sales, and government agencies.
