week hrs/ reflections on learning
20 hrs at work
Understanding and troubleshooting electrical issues is very important. I have learned this now that i am doing this at both school and work. I learn more and more everyday. I look forward to learning more this next week. Figuring out the lightboards was challenging especially with a poor schematic. Being able to see things clearly makes all the difference, and trusting your meter and numbers to be correct.

Building a relay tester
Documentation of building a relay tester in class. The job itself wasn't to challenging but hooking up the lightbulb, fuse and relay together took some thinking
Week hrs/electrical
12 hrs in class
28 hrs at work
Total: 40 hrs
The pictures are me trying to figure the lighting boards at the Btc shop. Trying to understand where everything goes with a little schematic was very challenging. The other pictures are of a real life electrical problem. The 4 ways would stop blinking every 10th blink. Also I got day three sheet done

Servicing
When servicing I always look for rubbing hoses, loose bolts, cracks in the frame, broken parts, leaks etc. But also I have learned by bringing all my tools to the rack and combining tasks I can get done faster which is more efficient. There is a balance between speed and quality of work
