This course introduces the basic components and functions of hydraulic systems. Students learn the principles of pressure, volume, and fluid direction and apply these principles to troubleshoot, service, and repair hydraulic systems, while acquiring hands-on experience with reservoirs, coolers, strainers and hydraulic accumulators.

Prerequisites:

• SECU1221F

The purpose of this course is to refresh skills in mathematics developed through secondary programs in areas deemed essential for the successful completion of the program. Although the topics covered in this course are common to any math program, every effort is made to illustrate their usage in the trades’ professions.

Students demonstrate the ability to identify marine system components and parts including bearings, seals, lubricants, cooling systems, and fuel systems. Students are introduced to these engine operating systems and air induction and exhaust systems from a troubleshooting and repair perspective. They acquire knowledge regarding engine principles, cooling systems, air filtration and exhaust systems, and diesel fuel systems to carry out engine and engine support system servicing tasks.

Prerequisites:

• SECU1205D
• SECU1221F

Students use their knowledge of engine operating systems and air induction and exhaust systems to tear down and reassemble diesel engines from a troubleshooting and repair perspective. They use knowledge regarding engine principles, cooling systems, air filtration and exhaust systems, and diesel fuel systems to carry out tear down and re-assembly tasks.

Prerequisites:

• SECU1221F

Drivetrain systems and supporting systems are becoming more sophisticated and complex with emission requirements. Mechanical Technicians must be able to efficiently diagnose and repair drivetrain systems to reduce equipment downtime and to lower maintenance costs.  In this course, students learn to diagnose and apply principles of system operation to efficiently diagnose and repair drivetrain systems and sub-systems. Topics include, safe work procedures, clutches, manual and automatic transmissions and transaxles, transfer cases and final drive assemblies.  Safe work practices is emphasized throughout the course.

Small engine mechanics specialize in the installation, maintenance and repair of inboard/outboard motors. In this course, students learn the principles and techniques necessary for marine craft engine removal, disassembly, repair, rebuilding and installation using small engines as a starting point. Through a blend of theory, demonstration and practical applications, students learn to service small engines and marine craft.
 

Prerequisites:

• SECU1205D
• MMMN1011K
• SECU1221F

In this course, students exhibit skill in applying the proper methods for disconnecting, removing, installing and re-connecting engines. They test the engines and evaluate the success of their endeavors in the shop.

Prerequisites:

• MMMN1011K
• MMMN1023F
• SECU1221F

This course provides an introduction to the meaning of community service.  Students learn how community service can enhance a student’s educational experience, personal growth, employability, and civic responsibility. Students participate in one day of volunteering to enhance their understanding of civic responsibility and to help the New Brunswick Community College realize its vision of transforming lives and communities. 

In this course, students focus on applying communication skills in reading, writing, speaking, document use, and critical thinking to make occupation-specific communication effective and efficient while developing computer-related skills necessary to be successful in college and on the job.
 
 

In this course, students focus on acquiring job search skills to gain a work-term placement as well as employment while also, developing interpersonal communication skills needed to grow their career.
 

This course is designed to provide students with the skills to sketch and read blueprints to extract information. Students learn to interpret information from blueprints and use proper instruments and techniques to produce drawings.

This is a 1-day environmental awareness training course based on Environment Canada's "Environmental Code of Practice for the Elimination of Fluorocarbon Emissions from Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Systems, 2014". It is suitable for residential, commercial, industrial, domestic, automotive and mobile applications. Specific topics covered are: CFCs and the ozone layer, isolation valving, recommended components, leak detection methods, system charging procedures, special maintenance provisions, and refrigerant recovery, reuse, recycle and reclamation equipment.

Prerequisites:

This course is designed to equip the students with the skills required to recognize, use, and maintain the tools of their trade from the perspective of organization, efficiency, and safety. They cover basic shop tools and equipment including hand and power tools, fasteners, tubing, and fittings.

Prerequisites:

• SECU1221F

This course introduces students to the safe use of rigging, hoisting and lifting equipment.

Prerequisites:

• SECU1221F

A safe and healthy workplace is the responsibility of the employer and the employee. This course introduces students to the importance of working safely and addresses how employers and employees can control the hazards and risks associated with the workplace. Students will also learn about the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders including WorkSafeNB, the employer and the employee in ensuring workplaces are safe.

This course provides students with an understanding of:

- their responsibilities when working in areas where fall hazards exist;

- the use of and inspection of the required equipment; and

- the critical controls necessary to reduce the risk of a fall.


Note:  This course may be delivered at the discretion of the college.

This course provides students with an understanding of the hazards related to working in a confined space environment. It looks at the proper safe work practice and procedures for confined spaces as well as rescue considerations.

Note:  The delivery timeline of this course is at the discretion of the campus.

The purpose of the practicum is to provide students with a direct, supervised practical experience. Such an experience enables students to apply the knowledge acquired during their training directly to their field of study. The practicum experience exposes the students to the trade environment and participants are expected to become members of the team in the industry site to which they are attached.

Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to perform cutting, brazing and basic arc welding operations. Instruction includes the safe practices and accepted methods of oxy-acetylene and electric-arc welding equipment use.
