Des Moines Area Community College issued the following announcement on Dec. 18. 

Mercedes-Benz USA has made an investment in the DMACC Automotive Technology program by donating a 2015 C300 vehicle and a Xentry diagnosis kit with scope for student training.

“Our partnership with Mercedes-Benz USA has been a wonderful opportunity for students, and we are thrilled to cultivate this partnership for years to come," said Jerry Burns, DMACC Automotive Technology Program Chair Jerry Burns said.  “The donation of a vehicle and the Xentry diagnostic tool kit to the MB Campus automotive program is essential to providing exemplary educational experiences and hands-on training for students at DMACC."

Burns said the vehicle will be used by automotive technology students to learn about the latest technology installed on Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

“We're thrilled to have the opportunity to call (DMACC) our partner on this initiative," said AJ Klemczak, Mercedes-Benz Program Manager. "This program is something we hope continues to be mutually beneficial for DMACC faculty, students and our dealerships."

DMACC Automotive Technology students will be learning about the technology on Mercedes-Benz vehicles in the new Karl Chevrolet Automotive Technology Center, which is located on the College's Ankeny Campus and is set to open in the spring semester. The multi-million dollar expansion and renovation of the facility will add more than 60,000 square-feet that includes new classrooms, a student lounge, 22 additional vehicle work bays, and a state-of-the-art showroom to improve the visitor and prospective student experience.
