Motorsports Engineering Technology Concentration

Associate of Applied Science Degree in Engineering Technology 

Effective Fall 2008, Chattanooga State will no longer be excepting student into this program.

 The Motorsports Engineering Technology concentration meets the needs of those enthusiasts involved in motorsports vehicle design and construction. Motorsports is a 475 billion dollar a year industry and Chattanooga is surrounded by major and minor motorsports tracks and each year is host to a number of racing events and shows. Car, boat, motorcycle, and ATV race enthusiasts are seeking training avenues for making their vehicle the fastest and best. Chattanooga State began a Motorsports initiative in the fall 2005 semester, which has generated interest and demand for motorsports welding, machining, and engine performance. The newly formed Motorsports Club, a multidisciplinary student club, is now the largest student organization at Chattanooga State.

Because of the combination of hand-on skills in machining and welding and engine operations, plus extensive training in mechanical engineering technology theory and applications, the students should also find success in jobs in industrial maintenance and manufacturing. This is an area in which local industry has major needs.

In the Motorsports Engineering Technology concentration, there are a total of 63 semester hours required.  A grade of ‘C’ or better is required in all courses that are specified for the major.  The only exception is the elective courses.  There is an approved list from which the humanities, social/behavior science, and technical elective courses can be selected.  The following table summarizes the degree requirements.
