Technology Technology Department of Automotive Engineering Technology John A. Gaz, Chairman Associate Professor, John A. Gaz; Assistant Professors, Blaine M. Hartog, Bennion L. Tueller; Instructor, Ralph A. Andersen. The Automotive Engineering Technology curriculum emphasizes a combination of theoretical and applied sciences and practical skills to prepare students to move into technical positions in the automotive fields such as service salesmen, service managers, parts managers, automotive salesmen, automotive business managers or general manufacturing industries. Any student completing any of the following programs: Automotive Technician, Automotive Service, Diesel Technician, Diesel Service or transfer student from a school with a comparable program may make application for admission to a course of study in Automotive Engineering Technology. Students desiring to graduate with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Automotive Engineering Technology should consult with the Department Chairman to work out a suitable course of study.
