Program Description This program prepares the student to become high performance engine builders. Students will learn fundamental motor building techniques. An emphasis is placed on the racing engine performance of many different fields. Students will demonstrate knowledge of safety, basic shop math, machining, welding, measurement, blueprint reading, tuning, electronics, fuel and ignition. Successful completion of this program should enable the student to find work in the motor sports industry.

Note: This program is eligible for federal financial aid and state bright futures.

Approximate Additional Costs Lab Fees - Approx. $250.

Additional Admission Requirements Students who do not have a standard high school diploma may be eligible for admission to this program if they meet the following criteria:
1. Take the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) which measures reading, English and math skills, and achieve specified minimum scores.
2. Meet with a counselor/advisor for placement test evaluation, advice on course selection and registration.

Ability to Benefit (ATB) Consideration Students admitted to this program who achieve the ability to benefit level on the College Placement Exam (CPT) can receive student financial aid if eligible.
