Auto Tech (RMP Club)

Join This Co-Curricular:

The Auto Tech co-curricular "RPM Club" at LBCC brings together automotive enthusiasts to collaborate on hands-on projects, build technical skills, and create a strong sense of community around cars and motor sports. Members work on a variety of project vehicles—including everything from performance upgrades on trucks and imports to experimental EV builds—while gaining real-world experience in diagnostics, modifications, and shop management. The club also organizes signature events like Dyno Days, where students run vehicles on the dynamometer, learn about tuning, and showcase their work to the broader LBCC community. Fundraising through apparel sales, vendor partnerships, and creative projects helps keep the club’s activities self-sustaining while teaching members how to manage budgets and outreach.

Beyond the shop, RPM Club hosts fun and inclusive social events such as ping-pong tournaments, movie nights, and go-kart outings, giving students a chance to connect outside of class. Members also participate local cars and coffee meets, swap meets, and track days to engage with the larger automotive culture in the Willamette Valley. With leadership opportunities for both first- and second-year students, the club provides a supportive environment to practice teamwork, build confidence, and prepare for automotive careers while having fun along the way.
