BCC Student Demonstrates How To Apply Fiberglass Filler To a Welded Area
Brandyn, a BCC Collision Repair student, demonstrates how to apply fiberglass filler to a welded area on a vehicle. He also explains why fiberglass filler is needed, as apposed to plastic body filler, over welded areas.
As I convey to my students, just learning the content does not necessary mean that they can perform it. However, after learning a task, applying the task by practicing it, and then explaining and teaching the task by demonstrating it to others will assure that they will be able to properly perform it.
Here is a quick analogy. Reading the Atkins Diet book will not help you lose weight. You must apply what you learn to reap the benefits.
Watch the short video of Brandyn demonstrating how to apply fiberglass filler. He is well on his way to reaping the benefits that collision repair has to offer.

A BCC Collision Repair Student Receives $2500 Scholarship
Here, Jenni is Pinstripping a Hood Panel
The I-CAR Education Foundation, in conjunction with AkzoNobel Coatings Inc. and The Most Influential Women of the Collision Repair Industry, has awarded Jennifer Engelbrecht a $2500.00 scholarship as a runner up to the winner, Bonnie Peterson, a student at Cypress College in Cypress, CA, which received a $5000.00 scholarship.
This scholarship was available to females in 339 ASE-certified technical schools and colleges in the collision repair and refinish programs. With that said, I feel this is a big accomplishment for Jennifer to be selected to receive this scholarship. It certainly gives me great pleasure and pride of her accomplishments.
This award was announced this past Thursday in Las Vegas at the 2008 NACE convention. I asked Jenni how she felt about her accomplishments and she stated, “I feel very honored and excited. It took me by surprise when my teacher told me. I think this is awesome. I appreciate I-CAR, AkzoNobel, and The Most Influential Women for their kindness, giving, and support to the Collision Repair Industry.”
I have always told Jenni that her hard work and extra efforts would payoff. However, stellar work ethics, a positive and friendly attitude, and eagerness to learn is something that will continue to award one for a lifetime.
Congratulations to Jenni for all of her efforts and accomplishments. I would also like to thank I-CAR Education Foundation, AkzoNobel Coatings, The Most Influential Women of the Collision Repair, and all of the committee members for supporting technical education and the collision industry.
Be sure to leave a comment to congratulate Jenni below.
