Through classroom and hands-on experiences, the curriculum prepares graduates for a wide variety of job opportunities in new car dealerships, independent repair shops, retail parts stores, and fleet repair facilities. Courses are designed to help students prepare for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification examinations.  \nSave For the Future, Don’t Pay Off the Past  \nCollege debt is a very real problem for many students. Columbus State offers the most affordable option in the region, and more than 70% of our students do not take on any student loan debt. To complete a five-semster (two-year) associate degree program in Automotive Technology cost approximately $9,300, as compared to most private automotive training programs that range from $26,000 to $38,000 .  \nThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation  \nunder Grant No. 1600689  \nA Changing Industry: Alternative Energy  \nIn a dynamic energy market, electric and alternative gaseuous fueled vehicles are proving to be a major disruptor in the automotive industry.  \nSmart City  \nIn June 2016, Columbus won the U.S. Department of Transportation $40 million Smart City Challenge by pledging to make investments, programs and creative incentives for energy efficiency, transportation electrification, and greenhouse gas reduction that is environmentally and financially sustainable. With this investment, Central Ohio is set to become a national leader in alternative energy vehicle adoption. The demand for automotive technicians with knowledge of advanced technologies will be as high in Central Ohio as it is anywhere in the country.  \nDid You Know?  \nMAJOR MANUFACTURERS:  \nLarge automotive manufacturers are moving towards alternative energy. For example, Ford Motor Company plans to make 40% of its fleet electric by 2020. Through investment in fuel cells and energy efficiency, Honda plans to reduce its CO2 emissions by 50% in the next 30 years.  \nFLEETS:  \nLocal governments and corporate fleets are adopting alternative energy vehicles at a rapid rate. In 2015, the number of AFVs owned by governments and corporate fleets grew by 318% .  \nA New Curriculum to Meet Industry and Student Needs  \nColumbus State is enhancing current curriculum and developing new courses that will address a local workforce need for technicians who are knowledgeable about the diagnosis and repair of alternative energy vehicles of all types. When combined with existing courses or industry experience, the two new courses will create a stackable certificate that will prepare students to sit for two Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certifications.  \nElectric/Hybrid Vehicle Courses  \nCurrently the most practical alternative energy vehicle choice for private owners, there are just under half of a million hybrid and electric vehicles sold each year. The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts that the number of electric vehicles on the road will grow by 15% by 2050.  \nAUTO 2190 Hybrid Vehicles: Theory & Operations  \nThis course presents the theory and operation of hybrid vehicles.
