Automotive Systems Technology

Career and Education Information

Program Description

The automotive industry is a fast-paced and ever changing field.  Today’s automotive technicians require an integration of skill sets ranging from basic troubleshooting of a vehicle’s drive-train components to an extensive knowledge and understanding of the advanced technologies found in current automobiles.

The Automotive Systems Technology curriculum prepares individuals for employment as automotive service technicians.  It provides an introduction to a career in the automotive service industry and increases a student’s awareness of the challenges associated with the evolving profession.

Classroom and lab experiences integrate technical and academic course work.  Emphasis is placed on theory, servicing, and operation of brakes, electrical/electronic systems, engine performance, steering/suspension, automatic transmission/transaxles, engine diagnostics and repair, climate control, and manual drivetrains.

Upon completion of this curriculum, students will have received the knowledge, understanding, and hands-on experience needed to prepare them for the nationally recognized Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) exams as well as a full-time position in the automotive service industry.CCC-automotive-systems-technology-mechanic-100728
