TC NEWSTC Gets Big Donation of Small Engines
Mr. Thompson’s power mechanics class will have more engines to work on due to a recent donation from Briggs and Stratton with help from Alexandria Technical and Community college.
The college hosted a one day workshop on Tuesday, January 7th, in which area shop instructors learned how to disassemble, inspect, measure tolerances, perform necessary adjustments, and reassemble a Briggs and Stratton snowblower engine. Participants also toured the facility at the college as well as received many resources on tools and parts distributors. Small engine, snowmobile, and marine mechanics are in high demand in an industry with a current, and future, forecasted shortage. Because of this, salaries are increasing as well as job benefits. Instructors learned that salaries for jobs like these can easily rival those of people earning 4-year college degrees, without incurring nearly as much debt. After doing the day-long workshop, all instructors received 10 free Briggs and Stratton engines to take back to their school and use in their classes. These engines will be put to great use in teaching fundamentals of 4-stroke engines as well as possibly creating interest in a field with huge growth potential and high earnings for students that like to work with their hands.
