Course Description: This course introduces the student to the knowledge base and technical skills for all courses in the Commercial Air Conditioning concentration. Areas of study include mathematical concepts, technical writing skills, technical reading comprehension,career opportunities, personal and equipment safety, fabrication operations, and compression refrigeration. Emphasis will be placed on career exploration, job seeking skills, and personal and professional ethics. Safety instruction is integrated into all activities. Students will utilize problem-solving techniques and participate in laboratory activities to develop an understanding of course concepts and teachers should provide each student with real world learning opportunities and instruction related to air conditioning occupations. Students are encouraged to become active members of Skills USA for additional co-curricular opportunities that enhance student achievement, develop student leadership, and support experiential learning. Course components also address the 21st Century Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that integrates learning skills, technology tools, and content standards and objectives.
