What is Automotive Technology?

Postsecondary Automotive Technology is an instructional program that prepares individuals to engage in the servicing and maintenance of all types of automobiles.  The ability to diagnose the source of the problem quickly and accurately requires a good reasoning ability and thorough knowledge of automobiles.  Instruction includes the diagnosis of malfunction and repair of engines, fuel, electrical, cooling, brake systems, and drive train and suspension systems.  Instruction is also provided in the adjustment and repair of individual components such as transmissions and fuel systems.

The Automotive Technology Program provides the graduate with the basic and technical knowledge needed to repair and service automobiles.  The graduate learns troubleshooting, computer diagnosis, parts matching, and repair of automobile components.  The laboratory is designed and operated in a manner similar to that of an actual automotive mechanics business.
