Abstract
This study determined new contents in automobile fueling and air conditioning system for inclusion in the minimum standards for Nigeria certificate in education in automobile technology. The study adopted cross sectional survey design in which data was collected with a 38 items questionnaire from population of 602 respondents comprising of automobile industrial supervisors and automobile technology lecturers in the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The questionnaire was validated, pilot tested in Kogi State and reliability coefficient found to be 0.83 using Cronbach Alpha reliability statistics. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while the t-test statistics was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed among others that, the new theory content, practical content as well as new tools and equipment necessary for inclusion are : scientific principles of operation and constructional details of automobile fueling and air conditioning system in modern vehicle ; practical content in fixing a broken modern air conditioner system in modern vehicle, replacement of a fuel injector as well as the modern tools and equipment for carrying out the practical tasks in the modern automobile fuel and air conditioning system. It was recommended among others that the National Commission for Colleges of Education and other industrial stakeholders should strengthen the NCE Automobile Technology minimum standard document by including new theory content, practical content as well as new tools and equipment necessary in the area of automobile fueling system, air conditioning system.
