■ Automotive Engineering Tech Mechanical Engineering Tech General Information TRANSFER STUDENTS FROM AN AUTO SERVICE PROGRAM Students who have completed a program in Auto Service or have other significant automotive background and who enroll at Weber State in Automotive Engineering Technology are given the following guidelines regarding satisfying the required AET courses. 1. Automotive engineering technology courses address the function of automotive systems and the many requirements for successful design. These include broad considerations of manufacturability, serviceability and performance rather than skills of diagnosis and repair. While a background in Auto Service will be a definite asset to an AET student, the courses completed in such a program, even if course titles are the same, should not be expected to satisfy requirements in the AET program. 2. There are three options for satisfying the required AET courses: a. Take the AET courses at WSU for credit. b. Pass an official challenge exam (scheduled through the Graduation Office) for each AET course. This exam will be similar to the final exam taken by students enrolled in the course. Successfully passing the challenge exam results in credit being recorded on the student's transcript. c. Take AET 320 for credit as a first course at WSU. Success in this course will require a strong and up-to-date background in automotive electronics and fuel systems. Credit earned at WSU in AET 320 with the grade of C or better will be treated as a successful challenge of AET 110, 200 and 210, but it is the responsiblity of the student to initiate the application for credit at the Graduation Office and pay any fees for having the credit for these three courses recorded on the transcript. Students are notified that most AET courses are offered only once every two years and that a plan for satisfying AET courses should be made with a program advisor and incorporate in the student's schedule at the beginning of the student's first quarter at WSU.

Erb Description Engineering Technology is that part of the technological field which requires the application of scientific and engineering knowledge and methods combined with technical skills in support of engineering activities; it lies in the occupational spectrum between the craftsman and the engineer at the end of the spectrum closest to the engineer. The curriculum includes "hands-on" experience in shops and laboratories as well as in-depth problem solving courses based on mathematics and the engineering sciences. Successful students in this program reach levels of proficiency in making laboratory measurements, in calculating and in writing reports.
