DAILY LAB

Technology in the Automotive industry is rapidly changing. Hybrids, Fuel Cells and Electric vehicles will be the power systems of the future. The needs for quality minded people to design, build and repair these vehicles of the future, are and will continue to be in high demand. In the Automotive Technology course, basic skills are taught that allow individuals the opportunity to put themselves in a position to meet those needs. Our two- year program gives students exposure to electrical, steering and suspension, brakes, and engine performance, along with powertrains, HVAC and drivetrains as time permits. With these skills, one can continue into college through one of the Tech-Prep programs we offer or start as an entry level technician right out of high school. If you’re looking for a career, with jobs that can’t get outsourced, consider a future in the Automotive Technology field.
