AUTO 259 Field-Based Experience III

5 CR

This is the third in a series of internships required by the program and builds on the industry skills and experience acquired in the first two internships. Students also continue to expand their classroom experience by applying skills learned in previous quarters to this internship. Students interview for, obtain and maintain an internship experience at an automotive repair (or related industry) business. The student is normally working under the direct supervision of an experienced, journeyman-level technician. The student will report weekly via a blog post that includes personal reflection. The internship site is a real-world extension of the classroom and the student will be able to apply knowledge gained previously in the program to an actual workplace environment. Student work will be monitored by an instructor from BTC who will visit the work site periodically.
Prerequisite(s): AUTO 229 or instructor permission.
