EDRS PRICE MF-$0.76 HC -S1.95 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS Auto Body Repairmen; *Auto Mechanics; *Auto Mechanics :(Occupation,); *Curriculum Guides; *FacilityPlanning; land Tools; Post Secondary Education;Resource Materials; Secondary Education ABSTRACT The curriculum and planning guide has two objectives: to give the instructor, planner, and-counselora guide which furnishes current information on the trade, facility planning, equipment, and resource information for all levels of occupational instruction in the field of auto mechanics maintenance and repair; and to enable the student to be employed in the occupation. The introduction discusses the trend away fromprograms and facilities designed around the use of cars as the sole educational system to the planning of more flexible-use spaces for free-standing engines, transmissions, chassis assemblies, and hydraulic systems, whether they are for automobiles, airplanes, or snowmobiles.In the new mechanics programs the mechanics simulator, trainer, and mock-up areas of the laboratory should represent as much as 70 percent of the student stations to provide skills required to tune-up and repair all types of engines. A table for planning space requirements fora vehicle maintenance cluster is included. The remainder of the guide is in the form of outlines under seven headings: suggested orientation course outline; skill development, chassis, and engine mechanics outline; skill development, auto body mechanics; automotive technology; tools and facility planning; reference materials; and instructional aids for auto mechanics.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original subm itted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • The Caribbean in the World: Imaginative Geographies in the Independence Age
    The Caribbean in the World: Imaginative Geographies in the Independence Age By Joshua Ian Jelly-Schapiro A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Michael Watts, Chair Professor Jake Kosek Professor Nadia Ellis Professor Jocelyne Guilbault Professor Percy Hintzen Abstract The Caribbean in the World: Imaginative Geographies in the Independence Age by Joshua Jelly-Schapiro Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Watts, Chair “Wherever the sugar plantation and slavery existed,” wrote the famed Trinidadian scholar C.L.R. James, “they imposed a pattern. It is an original pattern, not European, not African, not a part of the American main,…but West Indian, sui generis, with no parallels anywhere else.” These lines appear in James’s 1963 essay “From Toussaint L’Ouverture to Fidel Castro,” which he appended that year to a new edition of The Black Jacobins, his seminal history of the Haitian Revolution first released in 1938. Writing at a time when the British West Indies’ attainment of independence, coincident with the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, had prompted many Caribbean politicos and intellectuals to propose that the region’s diverse territories confederate into one regional nation, James argued that those territories, no matter their divides of language and history, should be understood to share a common culture and destiny. He also argued that the peoples of the Caribbean “nation” – belonging, as they did, to societies created and shaped for centuries by their links to European powers – had a unique and special role to play, among the world’s formerly colonized peoples, in shaping the future of world civilization.
