Mechanic Program
Anyone whose car or light truck has broken down knows the importance of the jobs of service technicians. Degrees will grant the ability to diagnose the source of a problem quickly and accurately. This most valuable skill requires good reasoning ability, and a thorough knowledge of automobiles. Many technicians consider diagnosing hard-to-find troubles one of their most challenging and satisfying duties.

Evolution of Technology

The work of service technicians has evolved from simply mechanical to high technology.  With online learning, you can learn about integrated auto electronic systems, and  how complex computers run vehicles and measure their performance while on the road. Service technicians have developed into diagnostic, high-tech problem solvers. Technicians must have an increasingly broad base of knowledge about how vehicles' complex components work and interact, as well as the ability to work with electronic diagnostic equipment and computer-based technical reference materials.


With training in auto mechanics you will inspect, maintain, and repair cars, SUV's, and light trucks with gasoline engines. The increasing sophistication of technology now relies on workers who can use computerized shop equipment and work with electronic components, while maintaining their skills with traditional hand tools. Because of these changes in the occupation, workers are increasingly called "service technicians," and the title "auto mechanic" is being used less and less frequently.

When opperational or electrical troubles occur, technicians first get a description of the symptoms from the owner or, if they work in a large shop, the repair service estimator who wrote the repair order. First, they test to see if components and systems are proper and secure, and then isolate those components or systems that could not logically be the cause of the problem. Technicians may have to test drive the vehicle or use a variety of testing equipment, such as onboard and hand-held diagnostic computers or compression gauges, to identify the source of the problem. These tests may indicate whether a component is salvageable, or if a new one is required to get the vehicle back in working order.
