This particular vehicle will be used by seniors in the Frame and Underbody class in the Autobody Repair program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a perfect fit for the program,\u201d said Assistant Professor Matthew Perry.<\/p>\n<p>While individuals sometimes donate their used or totaled vehicles to the program, it\u2019s not too often that an independent body shop does the same, Perry said. This particular car\u2019s parts will be used to repair another donated vehicle, which was totaled before it arrived at Hudson Valley. The entire process is part of the curriculum that allows students to develop hands-on skills to be used in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt gives students a realistic look at a real life scenario, to just better prepare them for the field,\u201d Perry said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70551\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70551\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-70551\" src=\"http:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Auto-body4-450x299.jpg\" alt=\"Auto Body students pose for a thank you photograph in the auto lab , Cooganwith their car donation December 2016\" width=\"450\" height=\"299\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70551\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Auto Body students pose for a thank you photograph in the Cogan auto lab with their car donation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Thu, 08 Dec 2016 21:20:31 +0000 by\u00a0t.farrell1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Hudson Valley\u2019s Automotive, Manufacturing and Electrical Engineering Technologies Department has received an early gift this holiday season: a new&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-campus-announcements"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8758"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8758\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
