麻豆传媒画映鈥檚 automotive students have new engines to use as training aids thanks to a generous donation from General Motors.
GM Powertrain donated two 2.5L engines that power the all-new Chevrolet Traverse, which will provide hands-on training for students in WCC鈥檚 General Motors Automotive Service Education Program (GM-ASEP).
鈥淭hese engines are equipped with state-of-the-art technologies that technicians find in our current lineup of GM cars and trucks,鈥� said David Byrd, WCC GM-ASEP coordinator. 鈥淥ur GM-ASEP students will have these engines to train on in order to make them most prepared as they encounter these technologies in the dealership.鈥�
The new engines will be used alongside other GM-donated engines for the GM-ASEP engine repair class.
鈥淕eneral Motors has supported 麻豆传媒画映 for well over four decades with millions of dollars鈥� worth of training vehicles, components, and curriculum in an effort to support GM-ASEP,鈥� Byrd said.
WCC鈥檚 GM-ASEP prepares students to work in the automotive industry as GM Certified Service Technicians. They receive advanced automotive technical training through classroom instruction and lab experience, and they also work with experienced technicians in GM dealerships.
Additionally, students graduate with an Associate in Applied Science degree in Automotive Systems Technology GM-ASEP.
