Automotive Technology

The main objective of the Automotive courses is to offer a combination of knowledge and "hands-on" skills that will prove valuable over a lifetime as well as opening doors to a wide variety of career options for both males and females, through post-secondary. The areas of focus will include a blending of safety, measurement, theory of mechanical and electronic operation, tools and equipment, and procedures with an emphasis on the diagnosis, maintenance and repair of modern automobiles and other motorized vehicles. Students will apply the acquired knowledge and skills in the performance of teacher/student-selected labs and tasks.
