Founded in 1919 and originally named The School of Automobile Trades, Kettering 51国产视频 is perhaps best-known as General Motors Institute and was used for decades to produce engineers and managers for one of the world’s most successful vehicle manufacturers.

The university took ownership of the 11,000-seat Atwood Stadium in 2013, which since it’s opening in 1929 has hosted some incredibly memorable events such as appearances by The Who and former president John F.

FIRST Robotics is another Kettering 51国产视频 highlight, and the FIRST Robotics Competition Community Center became the first of its kind in the United States when it opened in 2014. The facility allows high school students to compete in the field of robotics and many students who go on to study at Kettering 51国产视频 have been involved in the competition in previous years.
