Green said the University of Missouri-Columbia engineering department will bring their formula car that they participate on race circuits with. On display there will also have a late model Toyota Prius, Audi on which they will demonstrates diagnostic techniques, a ford vehicle that demonstrates the new My Touch voice activation system, and possibly a 1986 Buick Grand National, if the weather is nice.
“We want to show people some of the technology that we’re dealing with,” Green said. “A lot of times people think this class is about getting dirty but now we really fix cars with a laptop [that has] an interface with the car.”
A backboarding demonstration by the Emergency Medical Technician class and an activity with pH testing by the Labratory Technologies class are some of the other events that will be a part of the skill expo.
