The competition is designed to encourage young talented individuals This event is free to all participants (except to and from local event locations) Over $5000 of gifts will be awarded to local participants!
As a collected group both associations represent over 250 new car dealers in Los Angeles County, and our members realize the importance of "growing new talent" for our industry. This competition not only gives an opportunity for competing students to participate in the local and national levels, but will give them first hand experience working in a new car dealership during their internship or job shadowing as they prepare for the competitions.
Entering the Competition (Who, What, When, Where, and How): Who? The Competition is open to all Los Angeles County High School Seniors studying automotive technology who are under the age of 21 as of the start of the event (January 2011). The school entering must have at least a two year accredited curriculum in automotive technology and must be willing to grant permission for the team to receive training at a sponsoring dealership and for the students & teacher to attend the local competition as well as the National Competition in New York City. What? PLEASE NOTE: this year we are asking that each instructor from each invited school conduct their own preliminary testing prior to the First Phase written exam. This would mean that each school would bring only their top two students to Phase I. One team per school. ONLY the top five (5) scoring school teams in the written exam will move on to Phase II hands-on skills competition. Once the finalists are determined, GLANCDA may match schools with sponsoring dealerships. If the students are matched, the sponsoring dealerships will provide mentoring for the student team, preparing them for the "hands on" competition. Where? The 2010-2011 Greater Los Angeles County Automotive Technology Competition will take place on TBA at LOCATION TBA. An awards luncheon will be held immediately following the competition. When? The entry deadline is TBA. The written test will be given on TBA at location TBA How? The entry process is simple - merely fill out the registration form(s) and fax it to GLANCDA at (310) 578-7518 or mail to: GLANCDA The Competition: SCOPE The Competition covers Engine Management, Vehicle Safety & Chassis/Body Electrical. It is designed to challenge the students by measuring:
FORMAT There will be six stations - each designed to test the student's knowledge and ability in one specific area. The teams will have 20 minutes to complete the tasks at each station - a worksheet will be provided at each station and teams must complete the worksheet in order to receive credit for the station. Speed is not a factor in the scoring! Students will be scored on how well they worked together and the methods they used to solve each task presented to them. Credit will only be given for correct, complete answers, no partial credit. SCORING Each station will have a designated number of tasks or "bugs" for the students to solve. Each task or "bug" has a separate value, some may be worth more than others, but each station will be worth the same amount of points. At the end of the competition, each team's scores from the six stations will be added up to get the team's final score.
