Auto Technology is designed to give students the skills to pass the written portion of the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification tests and customized to meet the highest standards of the National Automotive Technicians Educational Foundation (NATEF). TEC is introducing a new AutoLab which includes modules based on simulator panels, real vehicle component trainers and computer-based simulations. Using the modules, students develop both knowledge and the hands-on skills required for working on real vehicles in the workshop area.
