Automotive Technology Advising Tips
Students who wish to enter the Automotive Technology Program must complete a mechanical aptitude test (CAPS) and a hands-on (Nuts/Bolts) test. Students not passing either tests are required to enroll in AUTT 0900 during the summer quarter. Passing AUTT 0900 is required to enter the program. Those who are not successful in AUTT 0900 may be referred to INCT 0900 , Introduction to the Trades. For more information see an advisor or counselor.
• Students must assess into college level Math (1000)
• Entrance into the Automotive Technology Program is limited to the fall quarter only.
• The evening program utilizes a hybrid format. Approximately 25% of the instruction is online.
• A basic tool set is required by the beginning of the second quarter of classes. Students who do not obtain their tools may be disenrolled.
• Additional program requirements are detailed in the Student Handbook at www.mccneb.edu/programs/autt.asp
The Automotive Technology program has ASE MASTER certification in all areas of training. This is the highest level of achievement recognized by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.
