All Automotive classes are designed with the intent
of helping students familiarize themselves with real world working demands and
requirements. Punctuality and treatment of fellow students (co-workers),
respecting public, private and personal property are very important parts of
the Automotive program. These are just
as important if not more, than the technical knowledge and skills required to
perform your daily work task.
