I. THE PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM

Amasya Technological Sciences Vocational High School

Automotive Technologies Program aims to bring up

technical personnel who know and internalize the

terminologies and concepts of automotive

technologies, have the skills of knowing and applying

the needed new systems, to solve vehicle maintenance

and reparation problems, meet the needs of the sector

rapidly , to maintain, repair and process the working

and equipped system and to work in the processing,

designing and preparation systems including quality

security.

II. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND AND

LABORATORIES

There are 12 diesel motors, 3 gasoline motors, 3

automatic transmissions, 2 manual transmissions,

equipment belonging to automotive electric and

electronics, all equipment needed for vehicle

reparation-maintenance, an oil discharging pump, a

2.5 ton electromechanic vehicle lift in the Automative

Technology Program.

General vehicle reparation-maintenance activities are

carried out in our department.

Our department projects are increasing and improving

in quality and success rates. Such projects include as

go-karts, electrical vehicles and gasoline vehicles

which completed in previous years. However, bio-diesel

generation, electric energy generation from wind

power, lawn mowing machines and electrical cars are

continving projects.

In our department, the students are informed in detail

about welding machines, hardness measuring, diverse

metal microscopes and surface roughness measuring

tension test equipments.

Moreover, the 700 m2 automotive workshop is under

construction and will have all the equipment that is

needed for authorized vehicle service.

III. WORKING AREAS OF AUTOMOTIVE

TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM GRADUATES

Automotive technicians may work nearly all stages of

main and subsidiary industry automotive factories

under the label and responsibility of technicians.

However, they are seen in high number in the

automotive montage lines and have active roles in

manufacturing studies, they provide communication

and connection between engineers, organizers,

managers and workers, and they are placed as team

leaders in the quality circle, they take responsibility as

instructors in educational activities in a workplace of

lower level workers.

In our department, technical trips/tours are arranged

and organized so that the students can follow the

developing and changing improvements and by this

way it is aimed to contribute to the students' mission

and vision.

Beside the production, another part of the automotive

sector that needs attention consist of services, point of

sales and education centers which can be named as

after sale service units. The responsibility of

automotive technicians in these units is because of the

transition of serial production to lean production,

customer based quality, and the occurrence of sale

principles.

They work and take responsibility in these units such as

group leader service management, sale group

leadership, spare parts, service workshop

management, and personnel education fields. In brief;
