I think automotive maintenance was under an industrial arts. About 10 years ago, it was still going strong. I agree it should be considered as being a highly recommended course.

Are you sure it was CALM? I thought CALM was "Career and Life Management". I recall the automotive classes were something like 1/3 girls and 2/3 guys. I don't recall the name of the class, we always just called it automotive. But I think it was indeed called an industrial arts class or something along those lines.
