Principles of Automotive Technology is one of the classes offered in the STEM academy. In this class, students learn the general repairs for a car, which include brakes, steering, suspension, engine performance and automotive electricity.

“The class is designed for students who want to be an auto tech, an engineer,” teacher Michael McDonald said.

The second level class is single blocked and the third level, Advanced Auto Tech, is double blocked. Students practice the newly learned general repairs on cars in their classroom shop.
Teachers, students and community members supply the cars for the auto tech classes to work on.

Students in the class wear their auto tech class shirts, the required goggles, and necessary closed toed shoes.

To learn how to repair and diagnose conditions of vehicle systems, take an auto tech class.
