Rotor Discs play a vital role in a vehicle's braking system. Once you press the brake the pads of the brake compress against the discs creating friction to make the car stop. If your rotor discs are not in good condition it affects your car's ability to properly come to a stop.

Once examining the rotor disc, students used an electronic digital caliper. The purpose of this tool is to help make accurate measurements of the width and depth. If the measurements show the disc isn’t thick enough then your vehicle will need new rotor discs.

In Addition to taking blood pressure, students practiced clothing patients with a paralyzed arm. In order to cloth the patient, students began with the affected arm. When it comes time to remove the clothing, it is vital that you start with the unaffected arm first.

For those unfamiliar with capstone, capstone is a year-long project selected by each student. Students are able to choose any area of focus that peaks their interest as long as it pertains to their program.

Another skill performed was a foot wash. Foot washing is very important not only to maintain good hygiene but also to prevent other health issues. These health issues include your feet and back.

Students of fire science attended the Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute. This trip gave students the opportunity to train at a high level in skills such as vehicle fires, basement fire, and using the hose while on ladder. Each of these skills are vital parts of the job.

On Day 2, Students covered basement fire. This practice involves 2 people feeding the hose into the burn building while the others were inside extinguishing the fire. This is a glimpse of what you could see from the window as the fire began to build.

As heavy as the hose can be from the ground, it only gets heavier when trying to operate it from heights. This practice helped students get comfortable with not only the weight of the hose but also the skill itself because when a real fire comes around every second matters.

In order to make the waterfall, students placed a tube to the top of the waterfall. This tube allowed the water to travel to the top then makes it way down the waterfall. Once the tube was setup, students covered it with the dirt so it wasn’t visible to viewers.
