Erickson, Advisers The two-year Automotive Technology curriculum consists of practical work experience in inspecting, testing, servicing, and repairing all phases of the automobile. The curriculum prepares students for beginning employment at general service and repair levels as mechanics and service technicians. Students majoring in Automotive Technology may choose from three basic programs. The Associate of Applied Science program includes a complete Automotive Technology curriculum; however, fewer General Education courses are required. The Institutional Certificate program is a shorter program designed to give the student competency within a selected area of Automotive Service. Associate of Applied Science and Institutional Diploma programs are approximately two years in length. Institutional Certificate programs can range from one to eighteen months. NOTE: Students who wish to continue and complete a Bachelor of Science Degree in Automotive Engineering Technology must make application with the department chairperson to determine a suitable course of study. Usually more than two additional years are required to complete a Bachelor of Science Degree after completing this two year program. Career Outlook —Job opportunities as mechanics and technical specialists are available at all job entry levels. Most graduates obtain positions as mechanics with major dealerships, truck lines, fleet operators or in small specialty repair and service shops. Many, after gaining more experience, open their own repair shop or operate a franchise service shop for a larger company. Some students become specialists in one particular system, such as automatic transmissions, and are employed by large overhaul and rebuilding companies or small specialty shops. All areas of employment, for the skilled auto mechanic, look excellent for the foreseeable future. Program: Automotive Technology — Associate of Applied Science Degree I.
