BBT 10: Automobile Body Styles and Designs Part One of Two

1.Trucks or pickup trucks are the workhorses of the auto industry. Found with an open, flat bed for hauling a variety of cargo, pickup trucks can be fitted with three cabin options. If looking at a truck, choosing the right kind for a specific lifestyle can prove very difficult. It’s wise for a buyer to seriously realize their needs and not purchase a truck that may be too limited or excessive in capacity. In regards to passenger volume, regular cab trucks provide single row seating while an extended cab adds rear seat room for addition passengers. In order to grant improved rear seat accessibility, crew cab trucks present four-door cabins for ultimate convenience.

Part Three of Three

Out of those ten jobs I would pick classic car restorer because I have worked on old cars with my father before, so I know how to work on them.

The job I wouldn't want to do is automotive journalist because it would probably be hard to do.  

Part Two of Three

NATEF- These standards reflect the skills that students must master to be successful in the industry.

SGS- We help every player in the automotive industry improve performance and reduce risk. Our services focus on the design, construction and operation of motor vehicle inspection solutions all over the world. 

ASU- ASE, is short for the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. Since 1972 our independent non-profit organization has worked to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service by testing and certifying automotive professionals.

Careers and Certification in the Automotive Industry Part One of Three

1. Some of the high-tech systems on auto mobiles today that were unheard of 30 years ago,and are now the nation’s fleet of vehicles: stability and traction control systems, adaptive cruise control and valve adjustment, and there is much more.
2. Areas that young people should have skills in for a career as an automotive technician is math, science and technical skills.
3. Some advantages in obtaining an education as an automotive technicians versus other high-techs educational options are require four, six, or even eight years of college, automotive technology careers can begin after just two years of education. 
4. Many new jobs and at what percentage of growth do they forecast will occur in the automotive technician field up to 2020 are expected to add 237,500 new jobs and have a 30 percent growth rate through 2020.
5. One thing that the automotive technician career is fairly "immune" to that has threatened other career is with the outsourcing of jobs picking up steam – first manufacturing jobs, now computer programming, 
6. Four other positions automotive technicians do is painting, damage repair, maintenance and performance upgrades.
7. The automotive technician role sometimes called "the portal career" because In fact, so many people have started their careers in the automotive aftermarket as an auto technician that it is viewed as something of a portal career.       

Part Two of Two - Tech for the Sake of Tech?

• I don't think our generation would want to go without a smart phone because everyone has them and cant even go a day without a phone.
• I think that this help's people stay away from dangers but you still have to pay full attention on the road.
• The importance of technology in a brand new car are very important because you have to know what you are buying and how the technology works in a new car. 
• One new feature I would look for is having a phone built into the car.
• One thing they might of thought in the older cars that were not needed was seat belts or air bags.

Part One of Two - Technologies in Development

• Out of the six car technology's I think flying cars will not happened. It would be hard to engineer a car to fly, Planes are made to fly not cars. People would probably have a hard time to control the cars.
• Out of the six I think the that  will happens would be cars can drive them self, if cars could drive them self people without license.
• Out of the six car technology's I think the safety features will be the first to happen.
• The safety can keep both people in the the front seat safe because it tells you if you are to stressed and not good to drive.
• The disadvantages if we had flying cars there would be a lot more accidents. The advantages of having flying cars is you would get places faster.
• I would rather drive then get a car to drive me.      

Part Four of Four - Automobile Timeline

1901 olds automobile factory starts production 

• I picked this point because the cars only had 3 horse power and they sold 425 of them.

1908 William Durant forms General Motors 

• I thought this point was pretty cool because general motors is the best car manufacturer out there.

1926 first power steering system 

• This is another good point because power steering makes a big difference when your driving any kind of automobile.  

1966 electric fuel injection 

• fuel injection is a good thing to have because it knows how much fuel to give the motor so it will make most performance.
