Program overview
This major, simply put, teaches you how to repair cars and how to teach others to repair cars. It falls under the mechanical engineering category within the engineering discipline, but is more down-to-earth than pure mechanical engineering — you'll learn the principles and disassembly/assembly of car engines, chassis, and electronic control systems, as well as how to design courses and become a teacher. Core courses include automotive structure, automotive electrical equipment, automotive fault diagnosis and testing, automotive repair enterprise management, as well as pedagogy, psychology, and teaching methods. Many vocational colleges and undergraduate institutions in China offer this major. With China's huge car ownership and rapidly evolving repair technology, school training facilities are often very advanced, such as new energy vehicle repair benches and intelligent diagnostic systems, allowing you to gain real hands-on skills. It's suitable for students who like hands-on work, are interested in cars, and are willing to share knowledge, especially those who want to become vocational school teachers or trainers in the future.
