Overview

The College of Alameda's Automotive Technology program's curriculum is designed to prepare students for employment as apprentice auto mechanics. Upon registering for a class in the automotive major area, a student will receive a list of required basic tools. The student will be expected to purchase tools that relate to the course in which he/she has enrolled. The purpose of this requirement is to assure that all students graduating from the program possess tools in a quantity sufficient for trade entry as an apprentice. Upon graduating with an Associate in Science (AS) degree, the beginning apprentice will have the union four-year night school requirement waived. Upon completion of this program a student will be able to: Commitment to Learning: Be ‘lifelong learners’ in the field of automotive technology, keeping up with changes in vehicles, in diagnostics and in repair procedures through a commitment to continual learning and training. Communication: Communicate effectively with customers, supervisors and co-workers. Critical Thinking: Apply critical thinking and problem solving skills in the process of diagnosing and repairing vehicles. Performance: Competently perform industry standard automotive repair procedures, using proper tools, procedures and diagnostic techniques, as specified in the NATEF program certification process.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
