Marine Diesel Mechanics

Learners apply electrical and electronic principles to tasks such as electrical system diagnostics, servicing batteries, working with lighting circuits and gauges, and maintaining harnesses and accessories.
 

Prerequisites:

• SECU1322A
• TMMG1040A

This course introduces learners to the basic components and functions of hydraulic systems, the principles of pressure, volume, and fluid direction. Learners apply these principles to troubleshoot, service, and repair hydraulic systems.
 

Prerequisites:

• SECU1322A
• TMMG1040A

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.

Small engine mechanics specialize in the installation, maintenance, and repair of outboard motors. In this course, learners acquire the principles and techniques necessary for disassembly, repair, and rebuilding using small engines. Through a blend of theory, demonstration, and practical applications, learners acquire the skills to service small marine engines.

Learners are introduced to the operating principles of a 4-stroke diesel engine. Learners gain knowledge of all components required to understand how a diesel engine operates. Upon completion of this course, learners have the knowledge and skills necessary to disassemble and inspect a diesel engine.
  
 

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

Prerequisites:

• SECU1322A
• TMMG1040A
• MMMN1030A
• SECU1325B

In this course, learners demonstrate the ability to identify marine system components and parts including bearings, seals, and lubricants. 

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, learners focus on applying communication skills in reading, writing, speaking, document use, and critical thinking to make communication effective and efficient while developing computer-related skills necessary to be successful in college and on the job in a trade.

 

In this course, learners 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.
 

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

Prerequisites:

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

The purpose of the practicum is to provide learners with a direct, supervised practical experience. Such an experience enables learners to apply the knowledge acquired during their training directly to their field of study. The practicum experience exposes the learners 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, learners perform cutting and basic welding operations. Instruction includes the safe practices and accepted methods of oxy-acetylene and electric welding equipment use.
