Automotive Technology Degree
The Automotive Technology curriculum provides the students with technical skills necessary to diagnosis, test and repair today’s sophisticated vehicles. Through classroom study of principles combined with heavy “hands on” experiences applied on automobiles in the lab, graduates of the program are prepared to assume positions in the automotive industry as entry level technicians. Students entering the program should possess good math skills, the ability to read technical manuals, good communication skills, hand-to-eye coordination and be interested in mechanical work. The program also prepares students for the ASE certification exams sponsored by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. Students are encouraged to take the specific ASE exams upon completion of related courses. After completion of the Associate in Applied Science
