Automotive Engineering Technology
 Automotive
engineering technologists are involved in the design, development,
testing, application, modification, and maintenance of a wide range of
vehicles or components used in vehicle systems. Those with degrees
follow careers in many different functions including research, technical
service, sales, manufacturing, or operations. While certainly
passenger cars are a primary area of focus, automotive engineering
technologists may work on safety issues, fuels or lubricants,
agricultural equipment, recreational vehicles, or off-road equipment and
trucks.
 Preparation
Those interested in a
career in automotive engineering technology should consider reviewing engineering
technology programs that are
accredited by
ABET, Inc. If you choose to attend a program that is not ABET accredited, you should be sure that the university
is regionally accredited. Students take courses such as combustion engine
theory, automotive electrical principles, applied mechanics, automatic
transmissions, and engineering measurements. The following is a current list of all universities
offering accredited degree programs in automotive engineering technology.
