Cars are now computers on wheels
A modern vehicle has more lines of code than a passenger aircraft. Most Nigerian workshops still treat them like mechanical machines. And that’s why simple electrical faults end up costing customers serious money. This course produces the kind of technician who can actually fix a modern car: scan, read, interpret, repair, reprogram.
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of automotive electrical systems, focusing on diagnosing, repairing, and programming automotive electronics. Students will explore modern electrical systems, their components, and their integration into vehicles. The course combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on practical skills, essential for anyone seeking to specialize in automotive electrical engineering. By the end of the course, students will be able to diagnose electrical issues, interpret wiring diagrams, perform programming tasks on vehicle modules, and understand the integration of electronic systems in automotive technology.
