Features
- Keep your course current with information on the latest technologies:
- NEW: New OSHA hazardous chemical labeling requirements are included in Chapter 2.
- UPDATED: Additional explanations about electrical circuits are included in Chapter 4 to make learning this important topic easier to understand.
- NEW: New content on three-legged and low profile fuses plus smart junction boxes is included in Chapter 10.
- NEW: New content on immobilizer systems is included in Chapter 26.
- Cover important automotive topics in a student-friendly format:
- Present topics in short, easy-to-read chapters. Automotive Electricity and Electronics makes teaching and learning easier by breaking the content into small, manageable segments.
- Explain how to diagnose faults. In addition to explaining how a system works, most chapters include diagnostic procedures and the steps needed to troubleshoot faults.
- Demonstrate how automotive systems are connected. The theory, construction, diagnosis, and service of a particular component or system are presented together, in one location. All of the information that students need to understand a topic is included when it is presented, so there is no need to search through the book for other references to the same topic.
- UPDATED: Deliver the most up-to-date standards content. All content in the book has been updated and correlated to the latest NATEF tasks and ASE areas.
- Bring the subject to life and facilitate learning:
- Engaging art programs support today’s visual learner
- UPDATED: Visualize concepts with full-color photos and line drawings. Over 60 new full-color photos and line drawings are included to make the subject come alive. The photos show the actual parts involved so that the student can view a good or defective part. The line drawings allow the reader to see what is inside a component and how it works.
- Break a task down using step-by-step photos. Step-by-step photo sequences detail the steps involved in performing a specific task or service procedure.
- Make reading, studying, and content mastery easier. Every chapter includes bulleted and numbered lists to summarize concepts or the steps in a procedure, while the design for main and sub-headings makes it easier to grasp the scope of the chapter. Finally, each chapter ends with a Summary, Review Questions, and a Quiz. Answers to questions can be found in the Instructor’s Manual.
- Help students prepare for their professional career
- Prepare for the ASE Certification exam. ASE test correlation charts and NATEF task correlation charts are provided in the Instructor’s Manual. The textbook and workbook page numbers are listed in the NATEF correlation guides to make learning and teaching easier.
- Provide learning goals based on NATEF tasks. Each chapter opens with a list of Learning Objectives based on specific NATEF tasks.
- Illustrate important concepts using real-world examples:
- Offer the perspective of a technician and automotive instructor. The author delivers the point-of-view of a technician and automotive instructor rather than an engineer, technical writer, or salesperson.
- Present real situations:
- Real World Fix boxes present students with actual service scenarios and show how the problems were diagnosed and repaired.
- NEW: Case Studies in this edition include the “three Cs” (Complaint, Cause, and Correction) to reflect what is done in the real world in dealers and shops.
- Alert students to potential safety hazards. Safety Tips alert students to possible hazards on the job.
- Give practical advice. Tech Tips offer real-world advice from ASE-certified master technicians.
- Answer Frequently Asked Questions. Based on the author’s own experience, FAQs provide answers to questions often asked by students and beginning service technicians.
- Guide students through on-the-job situations with practical advice:
- Give students a greater understanding of a specific task. Notes provide additional technical information.
- Limit potential damage to the vehicle. Cautions alert students to potential damage to the vehicle that can occur during a specific service procedure.
- Limit potential harm to the technician. Warnings alert students to potential harm that may occur to the technician during a specific service procedure.
- Support teaching and learning:
- Supplement your course with a full instructor support package. To make teaching from this text easier, textbook adopters have access to a TestGen computerized Test Bank, image bank, and presentation slides.
- Get up and running quickly using the Instructor’s Manual.The Instructor’s Manual contains chapter summaries, key terms, chapter learning objectives, lecture resources, discuss/demonstrate classroom activities, and answers to the in-text review and quiz questions. Use the additional teaching notes keyed to the textbook page numbers to help you prepare to discuss, review, preview, and reinforce important content.
- Bundle with the ASE Test Prep Guide or the NATEF Correlated Task Sheets. Contact your Pearson Representative to find out how your students can save when you bundle the ASE Test Prep Guide and NATEF Correlated Task Sheets workbook.
