The Automotive Technology program prepares students for a career in the vast field of automotive repair. Students gain hands-on experience in testing and diagnosing, engine drivability diagnosis, automatic transmissions, gas engines, suspension, alignment, brakes, and basic electricity.
Automotive service technicians must continually adapt to changing technology as vehicle components and systems become increasingly sophisticated.
The Automotive Technology program is A.S.E. Master Certified in all eight areas of curriculum by the National Automotive Technician Education Foundation (NATEF).
The Automotive Technology program begins in the Fall and Spring semesters and is normally a 62-week program.
Hawkeye's Power Technology Department has a block articulation agreement with the University of Northern Iowa Department of Industrial Technology.
