The Automotive Electronic Technology program is designed to combine the field of electronics with mechanics for an in-depth study in both areas providing students a broad knowledge base that may be utilized in many different job areas. Students gain hands-on experience in testing and diagnosing engine drivability, automatic transmissions, gas engines, suspension, alignment, brakes, computer applications, basic electricity, and analog and digital microelectronics.
Automotive service technicians must continually adapt to changing technology as vehicle components and systems become increasingly sophisticated.
Automotive Electronics program is A.S.E. Master Certified in all eight areas of curriculum by National Automotive Technician Education Foundation (NATEF).
The Automotive Electronic Technology program normally takes two years to complete. Students may enter the program in the Fall and Spring semesters.
Hawkeye's Power Technology Department has a block articulation agreement with the University of Northern Iowa Department of Industrial Technology.
