RETRAINING NEEDS OF GRADUATING MOTOR VEHICLE MECHANICS STUDENTS IN DIAGNOSIS OF MODERN VEHICLES IN MINNA METROPOLIS

Abstract

The research was design to investigate the Retraining Needs of Graduating Motor Vehicle Mechanics Students in Diagnosis of Modern Vehicles in Minna Metropolis. Three research question were answered and three hypotheses tested at 0.5 level of significance were formulated for the study. A survey research design was adopted for the study. The major purpose of this study is to identify the Retraining Needs of Graduating Motor Vehicle Mechanics Students in Diagnosis of Modern Vehicles in Minna Metropolis. Specifically, the study is designed to determine the:

Retraining needs of graduating motor vehicle mechanics students in the use of OBD II scan tools. Retraining needs of graduating motor vehicle mechanics students in the use of GPS vehicle tracker. Strategies for acquiring the retraining needs of graduating motor vehicle mechanics students in diagnostics of modern vehicles. The literature was reviewed in line with the three research questions, and the null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study, in which several sub-headings were discussed as regard to the purpose of the study. The research design used for this study is survey research design in which questionnaire was formulated to solicit information from respondents.
