Automotive Technology is an instructional program that prepares individuals to engage in the servicing and maintenance of all types of automobiles. Instruction includes the diagnosis of malfunction of all 8 areas of ASE/ NATEF certification (engine repair, electrical and electronic systems, engine performance, brakes, steering and suspension systems, manual drive trains and axles, automatic transmissions and transaxles, heating and air conditioning. Automotive Technology is an articulated technical program designed to provide advanced and technical skills to its students. Baseline competencies, taken from secondary automotive mechanics curriculum framework, serve as a foundation for the competencies and suggested objectives taught in the courses of the program. Students who do not possess these competencies will be allowed to acquire them during the program. Students who can document mastery of the baseline competencies will receive advanced instruction on these topics. Automotive Technology may be taught as either a certificate program or as a technical program.
