might focus on comprehending the complexi±es of automobile HVAC components, refrigerant systems, and temperature control processes. As an electrical diagnosis technician, on the other hand, my career path will revolve around studying the electrical systems within cars, working with sensors, wiring, and electronic control modules. While Alessio focuses on crea±ng comfortable driving environments through HVAC technology, my exper±se will lie in diagnosing and resolving issues related to the electrical components of vehicles. Our paths will be the same, as we both must complete the same type of schooling. We also both must obtain our 310S licence prior to branching off into the specific fields. We also must both stay current with technological advancements, as they will be necessary in both of our jobs. Zain: Zain's path to become a drivability technician will take him through an examina±on of the overall performance and func±oning of internal combus±on engines and vehicle drivetrains. He will most likely receive specific training in areas such as engine diagnos±cs, fuel systems, and emissions control, providing him with the knowledge needed to handle engine eﬃciency and overall drivability concerns. As an aspiring electrical diagnosis technician, on the other hand, my route will focus on learning the sophis±cated electrical systems found in cars. Understanding wiring schema±cs, electronic control modules, and diagnos±c tools for detec±ng and addressing electrical faults will be part of my training. Our paths will be similar as we must go through the same schooling, and we both must obtain our red seal 310S licence. Also, Zain and I will undergo training in areas that overlap, such as u±lizing diagnos±c tools and interpre±ng technical schema±cs. Gavin: Gavin's aspira±on to become an auto shop owner has a different set of du±es and skill sets opposed to my ambi±on to become an electrical diagnosis technician. To become an auto shop owner, Gavin will need to learn business management, entrepreneurship, and leadership skills, with an emphasis on customer service, staff management, and financial opera±ons. On top of that, Gavin must gain experience in all 6 areas of service, rather than just one. Our paths will be similar as we both must complete schooling, appren±ceship, and obtain our 310S licence. Furthermore, since Gavin must gain experience in all areas of service, we will both be trained in the electrical aspects of a car. Reﬂec±on: The hands-on nature of the work, the constant technological advancements, and the problem-solving aspects resonate deeply with my skills and interests. I've learned that What did you learn about yourself and your place in the trade? Has your idea/perspec±ve stayed the same or has it changed? Your final thoughts on what you gained from this project. 8.

my place in the trade involves not just mastering technical aspects but also thriving in a collabora±ve environment. My perspec±ve has changed from the beginning of the year, as I had assumed it would be easy to become succesful in. I learned the diﬃcul±es of opening a shop, and my eyes have been opened, now knowing that owning a shop is not an easy task. This project has helped me have a be²er grasp of the specific skills and informa±on necessary for my chosen voca±on. This project ignited my interest in the intricacies of automobile technology while also increasing my understanding of the trade's collabora±ve character. Overall, I am more knowledgeable and confident in my chosen career path, and I have a clear grasp of the abili±es and traits required for success in the automo±ve industry.
