DESCRIPTION OF THE CBC presents a curriculum framework for auto-mechanics, specifying operations and technological information sheets to support workshop-practice instruction. It defines the occupation through examination of vehicle defects, removal and inspection of major powertrain and related components, repair or replacement of mechanical parts, adjustment of brakes and steering bearings, and engine idle-speed tuning. It also adds complementary tasks for electrical-circuit removal/replacement, electrical mechanical service, and battery checking/charging. The document structures learning into specialisation blocks, each grouped by block-specific characteristics and graded difficulty within blocks.

The student may specializ(in the repairing of one十ype of·automobile engine,such as diesel engines,and can be designated accordingly. NOTE: The following complementary tasks have been incor- porated to the previous ones for the purposes of this CBC: Removing and replacing the electrical circuit. Repairing and servicing the mechanical parts of the electricalcircui十. Checking and charging the battery. The material can also be used for the instructions onpartial aspects corresponding +o the occiupations belongingto the group 9-85 "Motor Vehicle Drivers. OPERATIONS This CBC includes the majority of operations.involvec inauto-mechanics but,owing to the unlimited number of opera-tions and considering the variations due to the differenceof component parts in different models and makes of vehicles,a fixed type of vehicle wil be used as reference. Thisvehicle should have a gasoline 6-cylinder engine,mechanicaltransmission,three gears and a hydraulic braking system.In the composition of this CBC,an excep+ion has beenintroduced,i.e.grouping the OS's in the specialisationblocks as was defined in p+.4.3 page 13 of the normativedocument(2nd edition). It was also thought useful to include operations which,although notstrictly belonging to this occupation,complement it and facilitateits use.This is the case with operations in Block 9 of the elec-frical system. It should be noted however that other CBC's on automobiles are beingdeveloped in which specialisation sections,such as electricity,upholstering,coating and painting,diesel engines etc.,are beingdealt with. TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION With regard to the.TIS's,the same exception that was made with theOS's may be applied here,as in this first CBC it was practicallyimpossible to classify and codify the technological information.As a result the indexes VII and VIII suggested in the normativedocument have not been included.Later in preparing other relatedCBC's,the missing classification and indexes may be put in. 守 INDEXES OPERATION SHEETS ● ● # SPECIALISATION BLOCKS(*)Grouping of operations for AUTO MECHANICS CHARACTE- Title of block RISTICS Braking System AM-1 AM-2 Suspension and Steering System

FAQs

What occupation does the CBC cover?

It covers AUTO MECHANICS, including repairing, maintaining, and servicing automobiles and other vehicles with similar engines, using workshop practices and technical manuals.

What core operations are included for auto-mechanics?

The operations include inspecting vehicles to identify defects, removing and examining engine and drivetrain parts, repairing or substituting major components, adjusting brakes and steering bearings, and tuning engine idle speed, followed by testing the vehicle.

How are specialisation topics organized in this CBC?

Operations are grouped into specialisation blocks, such as Braking System (AM-1) through Engine Electrical System (AM-9), with difficulty grading maintained within each block.
