AUTT 1070 Automotive Technology Internship (0-12-4)
This elective course will provide students with opportunities to relate what they have learned in the classroom and lab to a real-world situation either at a place of business or at a technical college. Under the supervision of experienced ASE-certified automotive technicians or their instructors, students will obtain a greater admiration and appreciation of the material learned in the classroom and lab. The internship will also serve the function of bridging the lessons learned at college and applying the information learned to real-world situations. The suitability of the work setting will be determined by having a conference with the automotive instructor and the prospective employer. Students will perform all the live work duties of service writers, parts department personnel, and technicians, including writing repair orders, ordering parts (if applicable), and repairing vehicles. Students must work a minimum of 150 hours during the semester to receive credit for this course.
