Teaching Technology by Assessing Vehicle Safety
Lazaros, Edward J.
Tech Directions, v71 n9 p26-29 Apr 2012
According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among Americans aged 2-34. Many states have adopted periodic motor vehicle inspection (PMVI) to ensure the safety of the highways, and states that have adopted PMVI report a reduction in highway fatalities. Deaths and injuries can be reduced because they remove unsafe vehicles from the highway. Inspecting vehicles for potential safety issues is something else that should be routinely done to reduce injuries or fatalities. This article describes a multidisciplinary activity that teaches safety awareness and informs students about numerous automotive systems. (Contains 8 photos.)
