Job Card 1: Conduct research and present technical reports
Job Details:
Upon completion of this task, you should be able to demonstrate how to Conduct research and present technical reports in an automotive service and repair industry.
Tool and Materials:
• Range of reference materials relevant to technical research activities and vehicle specifications and procedures
• Computers and software to navigate computer software to collect, add and edit information in documents.
Protective Clothing:
• PPE
• Safety goggles or glasses with side shields
• Steel-toed shoes

Procedure:
A customer has askedyou to research and present them a technical report on how to increase the power output of their vehicle power by 10-15% (The vehicle can be a vehicle in the workshop). You must devise methods to gain this power increase (at the axle). Develop a technical report to outline your approach to gain the increase. You must research, analyse and report on the specifications and/or effectiveness of existing or proposed technical systems, componentry, materials and/or processes and those to be implemented. Ensure that proposed modifications are in line with Australian Design Rules, Australian Standards and Vehicle industry regulations.
The report should contain these components:
• Title page
• Summary
• Table of Contents
• Introduction
• Middle sections with numbered headings (i.e., the body of the report)
• Conclusions
• References
• Appendices
