Fundamentals of Air Conditioning/Refrigeration

WVEIS 1605

This course introduces the student to the knowledge base and technical skills for all courses in the heating ventilation and air conditioning concentration. Areas of study include mathematical concepts, technical writing skills, technical reading comprehension, career opportunities, personal and equipment safety, fabrication operations, and basic compression refrigeration. Emphasis will be placed on career exploration, job seeking skills, and personal and professional ethics. afety instruction is integrated
into all activities. tudents will utili!e 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 and

refrigeration occupations. tudents are encouraged to become active members of kills# A for additional co"curricular opportunities that enhance student achievement, develop student leadership, and support experiential learning. The $est
