It combines the hands-on aspect of a mechanic, with the testing and problem solving aspect of an engineer, without the high level math. Plus you wont be far from home.
I was going to recommend the same thing! Great course, they do project cars too which is really fun. I worked on the solar race car team for a while. The class also built some kit car Cobra's and had a formula SAE car and also a fuel mileage challenge car. Cool instructors too. It can get you in to a better job than being a wrench and it is an accredited 4year degree.
