Advancements in autonomous mobility systems, embedded technologies, industry business practices, and evolving consumer markets and regulations all point to the need for individuals with a thorough understanding of the technology systems, advanced diagnostics, and industry business operations.  \nThe Automotive Technology Program provides extensive technical and industry business training to prepare the student for numerous career possibilities. Opportunities for students to become involved in industry research thrive at SIU Carbondale. The Program’s broad industry relationships allow the student to not only learn the leading edge, but to also help develop it while attending school.  \nStudents develop skills and acquire knowledge through laboratory-based experiences with over 140 modern vehicles and pieces of equipment. The student should expect to spend about $1,500 for a required basic tool kit consisting of metric tools and a digital multimeter. The Automotive Technology Program has achieved a master-level accreditation by the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Education Foundation. Students are encouraged to complete their ASE certification process by taking the ASE certification exams.  \nThe Program’s national advisory board is comprised of over 50 executives from the automotive, truck, and equipment industries who are charged with ensuring the program’s curriculum and offerings are in alignment with industry needs. Members include: representatives from General Motors Company; Ford Motor Company; Fiat Chrysler Automobiles; Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. ; Inc. , Nissan Motor Corporation; Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. ; Cummins, Inc. ; American Honda Motor Co. , Inc. ; NAPA; training providers; vocational directors; automotive dealerships; and wholesale/retail outlets.  \nAdmission to Automotive Technology  \nThose interested in applying to the Automotive Technology Program are encouraged to begin the application process approximately one year in advance. Admission requirements to the applicant pool are the same as those to the University. After acceptance to the University and indicating Automotive Technology as the primary intended major, students are placed into the Automotive Technology Applicant Pool. No separate application is needed. Additional review of applicants will occur on predetermined dates for possible acceptance into the Automotive Technology major. The review criteria and dates are available from the Program and are on the Program’s website: [automotive.siu.edu](automotive.siu.edu).  \nThe Automotive Technology Program welcomes students with A.A.S. degrees in automotive, diesel, truck, and equipment technology and management related programs from regionally accredited colleges. These students may qualify for the Capstone Option (see below for additional information) .  \nInternship and Cooperative Programs  \nAutomotive Technology majors can participate in paid internship and cooperative education experiencesand may be able to earn credit toward graduation. Opportunities occur during all semesters (includingthe summer term), with some programs available for two sequential terms. These programs enrich the student’s academic experience and are situated in various locations throughout the United States. Opportunities may be available with: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles; Cummins Inc. ; Toyota Motor Sales,  \nU.S.A. , Inc. ; Eaton Corporation; General Motors Company; Robert Bosch Corporation; Ford Motor Company; Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes; Ally Financial-Motors Insurance Corpor","cbCaisqk7HXyo2UO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisqk7HXyo2UO","pdf",12968,"English","# Admission to Automotive Technology\n## Internship and Cooperative Programs\n# Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Automotive Technology","[{\"question\":\"How can prospective students apply to the Automotive Technology Program, and when should they start?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants are encouraged to begin the application process about one year in advance.
