The automotive technology programs at CMCC are designed to prepare highly skilled technicians for the automotive industry. Students learn in a variety of environments including the classroom, laboratories and shops, while planning and performing practical job service. Upon graduation, students accept positions as general technicians, or as specialists in areas such as front-end alignment, brakes, or automatic transmissions.
