This information is then used to generate the desired Computer NumericalControl (CNC) program for milling, drilling, lathe, and other manufacturing
drivetrain faults theautomotive industry has had to develop and employ more sophisticated diagnostic “scan” toolsthat monitor real time vehicle operation and special monitoring tools for the various in-vehiclenetwork buses to detect faults related to their operation. In response to the increased amount ofelectronics in vehicles, many automotive technician programs now include basic electricity/electronics theory as part of their curriculum.Examination of a typical two-year college automotive technology program reveals that the usualcurriculum provides a basic course or courses that serve as an introduction to basic electricaltheory (DC and AC) and possibly additional courses that introduce some fundamentals ofelectronics and electronic controls
