Associate in
Industrial Technology Degree Program
Major in Automotive Technology
With concern for
automotive efficiency, the cost of fuel, vehicle repairs and
service growing yearly, the role of the automotive technician
increases in importance. The student is trained to perform
quality maintenance, diagnosis and repair of complex modern
vehicles. Classrooms and shop areas are equipped with the
latest tools and equipment for automotive diagnosis and repair.
Students will train in eight areas of
automotive service: engine repair, engine performance, electrical and
electronic systems, manual drive train and axles, automatic
transmission/transaxles, suspension and steering systems, brakes, and
heating and air conditioning. Maintenance and repair experience will
duplicate those skills needed upon employment. Upon completion of 80
credit hours, a graduate will be awarded an associate’s degree in
Industrial Technology.
Automotive Technology is
accredited by the National Automotive Technicians Education
Foundation.
NOTE: New students must obtain all tools
on the list of required tools. See the automotive department head or an
instructor to obtain the tool list. Educational discounts are available
from participating vendors.
