The Program
Changes in the automotive industry have created a demand for technicians trained to troubleshoot, repair, maintain, and test multiple types of alternative and hybrid vehicles. Hocking College's Automotive Hybrids Technology trains you in non-fossil fuel energy applications. Your course of study includes fuel cells as well as new state-of-the-art vehicular electrical and electronic systems.
Fuel cells and other alternative energy sources will power the cars of tomorrow. In the Automotive Hybrids program, you will be on the cutting edge of this new technology. You will not only study fuel cell technology and principles but will also learn the requirements for the onboard storage of hydrogen, compressed natural gas (CNG), liquid natural gas (LNG), and propane fuels. With the addition of smaller closed communities, we have seen an increase in the demand for electrical vehicles that can utilize stationary solar recharging units. This program includes the study of vehicular solar electrical systems and provides you with a well-rounded background in other forms of alternative energy.
Using the latest computer technology, you diagnose, interpret, and repair vehicles. All vehicle electronic components are addressed.
This program is designed for students who have a strong background in automotive repair either through formal training or extensive work experience.
An onsite work experience with a vehicular company or laboratory allows you to apply skills learned to real work situations.
Jobs for Grads
Graduates of the Automotive Hybrids Technology are employed as fleet technicians, automotive service technicians, sales and marketing of vehicular diagnostic equipment, and vehicular laboratory technicians. You will also have the skills necessary to work as a technical assistant in fuel cell and alternative energy research and development. Beginning annual salaries range from $35,000 to $53,000.
