In the CTE Automotive Technology Program, students prepare to engage in the servicing, maintenance, adjustment, and repair of automotive components and systems. It also provides a sequence of learning experiences related to the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF), ASE Education Foundation, and repair categories requiring certification. This program may include diesel engine repair. Learning activities in the classroom, laboratory, shop, and actual work setting are combined to provide students with the opportunity to become knowledgeable of nomenclature; safety principles and practices; and job entry level skills in disassembling, assembling, inspecting, repairing, and replacing components or systems.
