SYNOPSIS
AUTOTRONIC LABORATORY cover basic electronics training and advanced
electrics and electronics. The students are exposed for the development of diagnostic
skill and mastery of electrics and electronics where students are guided in a simulated
environment in specific areas on various automotive systems such as engine
operations and management, body electrical, sensors and controls and air condition.
