Hybrids, electric engines, satellite navigation…the automotive profession is changing rapidly - the average car has six to thirty-six computers managing everything from traction control to the anti-lock braking system (ABS).
Today’s Auto Technicians are high-tech master diagnosticians facing components and repairs unheard of a generation ago. In this program, you will learn the skills needed to diagnose, repair and maintain all types of automobiles, trucks and SUVs.
The Automotive Technology program integrates hands-on training with academic studies allowing you to get a head start on your college education. Successful completers of this program may earn credit from Cuyahoga Community College as well as ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certification. In addition, students who excel in the Automotive Technology program may obtain a paid internship during the summer of their junior year in an auto dealership through the Automotive Youth Educational Systems (AYES) program.
