Welcome to East Central Community College's Automotive Mechanics Technology program. The automotive profession offers a variety of career opportunities for individuals with the appropriate intellectual and mechanical skills. Our program is designed to assist you in your pursuit of a prosperous and rewarding career in the Automotive Service sector.
The Automotive Mechanics Technology curriculum is built around the eight Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification areas - engine repair, electrical and electronic systems, engine performance, brakes, steering and suspension systems, manual drivetrains and axles, automatic transmissions and transaxles, and heating & air conditioning. The course is an articulated technical program designed to provide advanced and technical skills to students. Baseline competencies, taken from the secondary automotive mechanics curriculum framework, serve as a foundation for the competencies and suggested objectives taught in the courses of the program. Students who do not possess these competencies will be allowed to acquire them during the program. Students who can document mastery of the baseline competencies will receive advanced instruction on these topics. While enrolled in our program, you will have the opportunity to train with professional level tools and equipment, including the same computer resources and computerized diagnostic tools that many automotive repair businesses use. As a full time student you can take advantage of the major tool manufacturer’s (Snap-On©, Matco©, and Mac© for example) discounts on many of their hand tools and tool storage solutions. As an automotive technology student, you would be required to purchase your own set of tools – taking advantage of this educational discount can save you thousands on your investment.
