Automotive Technician

Instructional Program (CIP)

Description

A.    Course Objective:  
The Automotive Technician diploma program prepares students to successfully enter the workforce in an entry-level position in automotive maintenance and repair. It consists of a well-balanced comprehensive program that combines the theoretical aspects of automotive diagnostics with direct hands-on practical training in repair procedures in a shop environment. The program introduces students to basic and advanced automotive technology including engine theory, fuel systems, fuel injection theory, electrical diagnosis, ignition systems, carburetor repair, tune-up and onboard-computerized engine control. The program also provides instruction in brakes, heating and air-conditioning, manual and automatic transmissions, and front-end alignment. Particular emphasis is placed on hybrid drive systems and emerging auto technologies. Students will gain professional skills such as understanding instructions, communicating effectively, and completion of basic automotive diagnostic, repair and safety procedures. 
The program is 36 weeks long and consists of nine modules. Each module is 80 hours and is conducted in both a classroom and shop environment on campus. Tests and/or quizzes are administered weekly during each didactic module; however, there is no final examination for the program. Additionally, there is no externship for this program as all practical experience can be conducted in a shop environment.
