Workshop details:
As technology grows the focus on climate change and the air we breathe is becoming more important in todays world. We will talk about the changes from the old days of carburation, and advancing to the days of fuel injection, then to the advancement of hybrid and electric. There will be few items to display that the kids will be able to pass around, such as a carburetor, fuel injectors, even a computer that shows the intricacies of the circuit boards. You will learn about the advancement in tailpipe gases from automobiles and how the gases are created from an engine, what gets filtered from the catalytic converters, and go into SMOG and why we fight to keep California skies clean. We will discuss the history of SMOG and explain what we do as Automotive Technicians to continually keep vehicles running correctly so the emissions of a vehicle is always at its lowest. Additionally, with electric vehicles on the rise and Automotive Technicians today have to keep up with all technology to make sure vehicles are always repaired properly for the safety of them and their families.
