Instructor Revs Up Ailing Motorcycle Program
Stevenson, Roy
Tech Directions, v70 n6 p14-16 Jan 2011
Bob Monroig smiles every day on his way to work at Lake Washington Technical College (LWTC), high atop a hill overlooking the affluent Seattle suburb of Kirkland, Washington. He's created his own job within a job, where he's the Harley-Davidson University program coordinator and tenured faculty in the Motorcycle, Marine, & Power Equipment Service Technology program. In March 1986, when Monroig inherited the ailing motorcycle program at LWTC, it was on its knees, with a meager 12 students enrolled. A series of short-term instructors coming and going through a revolving door left a trail of disgruntled students, upset with the lack of consistency and quality of the program. The phrase "he was born to do this" applies perfectly to Monroig's role in resurrecting the program. This article describes how Monroig revived his school's motorcycle and power equipment program and how his students reap the rewards.
