The class will still meet twice a week from 7:30 a.m. to 2:50 p.m., but will now be worth seven credits, instead of just four. The first half of the term focuses on brake systems while the second focuses on chassis. “We’ve wanted to change for a long time - maybe 10 or 12 years - but weren’t allowed to because of credit numbers,” full-time Instructor Nick Miller said. “We met with the cur riculum committee to make the brakes class a seven-credit, two-day class.” The NATEF tells Clackamas what they need to be teaching to adequately prepare automo tive students for ASE certifica tion.
