LITERAL
a) "I, Victor Gamboa, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 48 hours of work"
b) Mentor: Victor M. Gamboa transmission builder for 18 years at Young's Transmission and DPA Transmissions.
d) Over the corse of 48 hours rebuilt 2 transmissions and replaced an engine. Help with the basics first handing off tools slowly made my way to being able to join transmission and engine and small task like clean parts and open basic parts of a transmission. Also work testing an engine.\
INTERPRETIVE
Learned skills that no book can teach, hands on experience with the real cars. Learning tricks and how components work and why they fail. Observing what parts look like when they do fail and knowing how to prevent them from failing again. Basically get a car that is failing or to some people completely worthless and make it perfect again and perhaps solve the problem for good.
APPLIED
Helps me understand foundations of my topic because they are just that. working on cars not quite the same as performance cars from my topic gives me a view of basic fundamentals and your really cant upgrade a car properly unless you understand what you are upgrading. In some cases racing parts are more simple than that of modern cars for the road but it helps to have a better understating of that part. In other cases it is good to be able to tell a problem of a car by the noise which is only obtainable from experience, which I soon will have. Basically what I'm saying is I am working my way up the car chain and to work on expensive race cars you need to know your way up and down a regular car.
