A W S Su AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY Description: The technology of ground transportation vehicles and construction equipment is steadily increasing in complexity. The Automotive Engineering Technology Department provides training for occupations related to the production, maintenance, modification, engineering and development of ground vehicles and equipment. The programs described below provide training for occupations from entry-level service-station attendant to the Automotive Engineering Technologist who employs technical skill in performing and directing the full range of ground vehicle-related activities. Professional and Career Outlook: A Bachelor of Science Degree in Automotive Engineering Technology provides the student with entry level knowledge and skills for a wide variety of jobs in the automotive and transportation field. Placement opportunities are excellent and should remain excellent for at least the next decade. Related Careers: Many accept positions with the design, test and product development, or customer service divisions of major automobile manufacturers. Some accept jobs as service representatives, handling customer relations and service problems. Some graduates are trained to properly service and maintain new products and modifications to automobiles. Many accept entry level jobs with engineering departments and advance to positions of supervision. Job opportunities with manufacturers of off-highway vehicles, farm equipment and other mechanical devices offer additional choices to the graduate.
