Eskelson, Robert P. Parker and Blaine Thornock Description The automobile plays a significant role in the economic life of this nation. It accounts for roughly 15 percent of te average household budget. The U.S. factories that produce cars and the businesses that service them employ a full 15 percent of the working population. Add to the automobile the many other ground, sea and air vehicles designed, produced and serviced in this country and a very significant segment of the economy is encompassed. Automotive Engineering Technology (Auentc) includes the study of: a. common Elements of mobile behicles and equipment (engines, transmissions, suspension, steering, brakes, fuel systems, etc.), b. basic skills of the design and production process (drafting, CAD, stress analysis, materials, manufacturing processes, etc.), c. basic sciences (math, physics, chemistry, computer science, engineering sciences, etc.), d. general education and communication skills.
