The mission of the Transportation Technology Programs (Automotive, Collision, Diesel, and Alternative Fuels) at CSN North Las Vegas is designed to prepare students to become successful automotive technicians in the fast paced and rapidly changing transportation industry. The program is open to all students who have the desire to achieve this goal. The curriculum closely follows the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) criteria, which are the accepted guidelines in the automotive industry. All course work is taught by ASE certified instructors with the goal of helping students understand how and why automotive systems operate, how to efficiently repair or service these systems, and how to pass individual certification examinations. GMASEP and FORD MLR programs are available, and ASE certifications for those who successfully meet the requirements. In addition, paid internships with local Automotive Dealerships and Independent Repair Shops are available.

The Associate of Applied Science (AS) Degree and the Certificate of Achievement (CA) in Automotive Technology offers the latest in computerized automotive equipment, ranging from engine analyzers to hand held diagnostic computers. Southern Nevada dealerships, independent service centers, and manufacturers provide late model cars for students to learn the latest in automotive technology, especially in the areas of electronic fuel injection and computerized engine controls. Students receive “hands-on” training that makes them marketable in today’s economy. Most students will “earn while they learn” in an internship position associated with their course work.
