The Automotive Repair Technology degree program provides a proper balance of theory and practical application for students preparing for careers in the automotive service industry. Graduates of the program may become employed as automotive mechanic technicians, transmission specialists, service managers, or service writers in automotive dealerships and automotive repair businesses.
The curriculum emphasizes laboratory diagnostic procedures in both domestic and foreign engines, electrical systems, transmissions, drive trains, suspension systems, computerized control systems, and electronic fuel control systems. Students will be prepared to take and expected to pass Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification tests in order to qualify for the work experience internship. Students will be placed in automotive dealerships and automotive repair businesses during the last semester of the program in order to gain on-the-job experience.
Enrollment in the Automotive Repair Technology degree program is limited. Students are required to provide their own basic set of tools. Information on admission requirements and required tools may be secured from one of the contact persons or the Office of Admissions and Records.
