The complexity of motor vehicles demands a very high level of technical knowledge and skill for service personnel. Basic learning skills in reading, writing and computation are essential to success in the field. The program is a full-time commitment for one academic year, all day four days a week for two semesters plus all day for five days a week in the summer. Basic vehicle theory and principles are taught in the classroom to give the student an understanding of how electrical, electronic and mechanical components function and why they fail. Actual shop practices train the student to utilize appropriate safety procedures, research repair procedures, record time and effort, to make repairs, diagnose, replace and adjust components. The Automotive Technology curriculum prepares graduates for entry-level employment in vehicle diagnosis, repair and maintenance work and leads to target jobs in deep east Texas.
