Course description
Students will be introduced to diesel engines and how they operate. Each student wills be provided a Beta diesel engine to work on during the course. Students will learn in-depth about fuel systems and get practical experience performing hands-on engine maintenance tasks. Working on these functioning engines, students will learn how to diagnose and troubleshoot common problems. Students will also learn how to properly install an engine and how to recognize faulty installations.
The school will provide engines and components for demonstrations and hands-on practice, troubleshooting, and test running. Students will have access to amp meters and multimeters for electrical troubleshooting. The school provides an engine installation mock-up for training. Students are recommended to bring basic mechanical tools (wrenches, sockets, and screwdrivers) to help alleviate shared tool use.
The Marine Systems Intensives provide both conceptual and hands-on instruction. Students will handle system components, watch demonstrations, learn to describe a system’s components and how they function, and will be able to perform specific tasks using industry best practices
Students learn how to:
- Identify the key components of diesel engine systems.
- Describe what causes combustion in a diesel engine system and how to identify key differences between gas and diesel engines.
- Recognize failed, damaged, or worn components.
- Identify all the components in a diesel full system and what function each serves.
- Describe proper installation of fuel system and identify appropriate materials to use in the system.
