Modern Automotive Technology, supports career readiness for those wishing to pursue a job in the automotive industry. Organized
around the ASE automobile test areas, it details the construction, operation, diagnosis, service, and repair of late-model automobiles
and light trucks. Student-focused content is presented using a building-block approach that starts with the fundamental principles of
system operation and progresses gradually to complex diagnostic and service procedures. Thorough coverage of the latest
developments in the automotive field, including hybrid technology and direct gasoline injection, helps prepare students to service
and repair today's complex vehicles. Modern Automotive Technology is also a perfect reference for those preparing for the ASE
automobile certification tests. Premium content includes video clips and animations, interactive simulations, identification activities,
drag-and-drop activities, audio glossary, technical term activities, and Review Questions and ASE-Type Questions (with digital form
fields).
