Here is their descriptions:

High Performance Motorsports

Do you love race cars and hot rods, do you consider yourself a “car nut?” The High Performance Program may be the program for you. In this program you will get to work with many types of high performance vehicles. Many types of high performance engines can be built using our fully equipped machine shop. Intake and exhaust system components can be tested on one of our three flow benches. Ignition and fuel systems can be tuned, electronic engine management systems can be programmed, and engines tested on one of our two dynamometers. In addition to high performance engine work, student in this program learn to work with actual race cars. Many of the college owned race cars and trucks were built by students. Students build the engines, select and install drive line components, build the roll cages, fabricate the sheet metal, and do the initial set-ups at the University’s own race track.

Program/Major Goals: The following competencies will be developed and measured during the coursework for this major/program: understand how and why suspension angles affect vehicle handling; demonstrate basic knowledge of tires, weight transfer, springs, shocks and set-up adjustments; perform machining operations required to recondition an engine short block; perform machining operations required to recondition a cyclinder head; demonstrate knowledge of components selection (pistons, rods, crank and cam); demonstrate proper engine assembly techniques; operate an engine dyno and evaluate engine performance; demonstrate basic knowledge of fuel and ignition components; demonstrate knowledge of component selection for gear ratios, tires and clutches; and demonstrate knowledge of traction aid operation and selection.
