 The competitive edge for students graduating from the Idaho State University Aircraft Maintenance Technology program got a lot sharper in 2012 thanks to a major partnership and donation. The ISU program, thanks to support from an industry partner, received a fully functional flight simulator that is already providing vital hands-on training for students. The new simulator will prepare graduates to successfully enter a growing aviation industry. The donated flight simulator was provided by Western Aircraft, a Boise-based company that has taken great interest in the College of Technology. In addition to the donated flight simulator, expertise training and ongoing instruction is also being provided by Western Aircraft on a continuous basis. The aviation company says their commitment and investment to higher education helps to ensure that their industry needs will be met by a future workforce. This is real-world application that we are supplying to ISU, said Tracy Kalbfleisch, Director of Aircraft Services at Western Aircraft. I understand how important it is to have the basics of how systems work, and what you do when you get out in to the real world. The donated simulator provides students with the opportunity to train using the same technology that they will see after graduation. The cockpit is valued at more than $100,000 and has already greatly bolstered the program.

What this allows us to do, the cockpit trainer, is to have the ability to do entry-level tasks without being in an aircraft, said Gary Shipley, Aircraft Maintenance Technology program coordinator. We can increase the number of people involved in our group setting and parallel the real world installations. The flight simulator allows students to diagnose, troubleshoot, and fix real life problems, while using the latest technology available. Its fully functional, said Kalbfleisch. Its state-of-theart. There are a lot of airplanes out there that are flying around today with this exact technology in them. Western Aircraft has also committed additional training modules and instruction from employees at their company. Kalbfleisch says the total value of their generous commitment to the College of Technology amounts to more than $250,000. Were excited about this partnership that has been created, says Dr. Dave Treasure, chair of the ISU Trade and Industrial Department. Our program is top notch and its great to see Western Aircraft take notice and be willing to offer their generous support. The aviation company made other program visits in the past year to offer course instruction and hands-on training to students. The past program visits included training from experienced employees at Western Aircraft. Earlier in the year, four technicians from Western Aircraft

Western Aircrafts training goes above and beyond what is included in the current ISU curriculum and exceeds Federal Aviation Administration standards for instruction. We are replicating what we actually do in the industry right here in their classroom. Everything being taught today is applicable and used on the job, said Louie Gravel, chief inspector at Western Aircraft. Western Aircraft hopes their donation of equipment and training will generate an interest from potential students to pursue an education in aircraft maintenance. The company employs a large number of graduates from the College of Technology and has been so impressed by those employees that they want to attract more recruits. We need to create excitement and show what careers are available in aviation, said Kalbfleisch. Graduates from the aircraft maintenance program continue to enjoy a very high job placement rate. Shipley says the number of recent graduates from the program who are able to find employment shortly after graduation is well over 90 percent. He also expects that number to We need to create excitement continue to grow and show what careers are in the future. available in aviation. The demand TRACY KALBFLEISCH, Western Aircraft globally, as well as nationally, is higher than its ever been, said Shipley. The average age for the current workforce is about 58, so theres a big gap coming up in the next ten years both nationally and globally. Western Aircrafts donation of time, personnel, and equipment is helping to shape the next generation of aircraft mechanics. Western Aircraft has been involved with the College of Technology for 15 years and currently, more than 25 percent of their workforce comes from graduates of the College of Technology.

In honor and recognition of Dales contribution to the College of Technology, a tribute scholarship will be awarded next academic year to a student studying in the ISU Diesel/On-Site Power Generation Technology program.

The involvement of Dale B. Kirkham, Sr., in the Idaho State University Diesel/OnSite Power Generation Technology program is long, devoted, and treasured. He was a generous supporter of diesel education at the College of Technology before passing away on February 8, 2012. The diesel program would not be where it is today without Dales attention to detail and the support that he freely gave during his life. Dale had a great love of cars, parts, and a persistent entrepreneurial spirit that garnered the support of ISU faculty, staff, and students. For 21 years, Dale generously sponsored scholarships for diesel students and served as an industry mentor. He often volunteered his time as an advocate for the program and was able to impact a countless number of students who pursued an education at the College of Technology. Over his lifetime, Dale also provided hundreds of jobs in the area. Dale, 86, was born in Lehi, Utah, where he learned a love for automobiles and hard work. After high school, Dale fought in World War II and eventually graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in accounting. He then moved to Pocatello where he married Bodell Smith and started a small auto parts business known as Dales Auto Supply Company. The business eventually grew to include auto recycling, equipment sales, real estate development, and outdoor advertising enterprises. Dale was a hard worker, spending everyday actively engaged, and many times his work took him to the ISU diesel program. He visited the College of Technology on his last day of life, a memory that will continue to live on in the hearts of those who admired his dedication and commitment. Dales vision and devotion to ISU has resulted in a nationally-recognized and accredited curriculum for the diesel program.

Matthew D. Smitheram was selected as the recipient of the Idaho State University College of Technologys Outstanding Student Achievement award for 2012. Smitheram was one of 13 graduating seniors from the entire University who were chosen for excelling in their programs, their extracurricular activities, and epitomizing ISUs outstanding student body. Smitheram received a high grade point average on his way to earning a Bachelor of Science degree in health science and an associate degree in physical therapy assisting in spring 2012. He was awarded the Non-Traditional Occupation Student Scholarship while at Idaho State University. His extracurricular activities include being a senator for the College of Technology, running track, and participating in the ISU Triathlon Club. Smitheram says his most influential teacher was Darin Jernigan, who was always positive and constantly reminding his students of their potential to do great things. Smitheram said, Jernigan also had a genuine concern for each student in their personal life outside of class as well. Smitheram said the most challenging aspect of his education was getting into the Physical Therapy Assistant program. I did not get in the first time I applied. Smitheram graduated from Bear Lake High School in 2003, where he was active in football, wrestling, track, and band. His parents are Kevin and JoAnn Smitheram of Montpelier. He is the middle of five children but the first to graduate from college. He served a two-year mission for his church to New Zealand before enrolling at ISU. His goal is to continue into a physical therapy program. Tech Annual 2013 | 8

COLLEGE AWARDED 603 DEGREES IN 2012

Graduates from the Idaho State University College of Technology were recognized for their hard work during three commencement ceremonies in May, July, and December 2012. During that same academic year, the College awarded 603 certificates and degrees to 562 graduates. Awarding medallions during the Colleges graduation ceremony has been a tradition since 2009. As part of that tradition, each graduate receives a solid brass medallion to signify their accomplishments. The medallions are individually awarded by the dean during the ceremony as each graduate is recongized. The front of the medallion represents time spent at ISU in pursuit of an education. Embossed on the medallion are two graduates standing under Swanson Arch, prepared to leave campus and embark on a new adventure. Since 1902, thousands of students have passed through Swanson Arch, the original entry of the first building on campus. After being educated in the shadows of the mountains, the front also symbolizes that College of Technology graduates are welltrained and prepared to make a difference in the world. On the back of the medallion is a Bengal tigers head and the motto of ISU, Leading in Opportunity and Innovation. Before the conclusion of the graduation ceremony, each graduation attaches their medallion to a black ribbon around their neck, symbolizing the completion of one chapter in their lives.

REMEMBERING DADS LEGACY

Kathy Layman, daughter of the late Harry E. Layman, Sr., established a tribute to her fathers memory at the College of Technology. At the conclusion of the annual 2012 Chrome in the Dome car show, Kathy announced the establishment of the Harry E. Layman, Sr. Memorial Endowment. The gift on behalf of her late father, Harry, a longtime resident of Pocatello, will provide scholarships for students in the College of Technologys Auto Collision Repair and Refinishing program. Harry was a craftsman who took pride in the auto body trade and was dedicated to education in the area. After relocating to Pocatello early in his life, he started Harrys Auto Body Repair, a shop that eventually employed a large number of graduates from the College of Technologys auto collision program. Harry passed away in 2010, leaving behind a heritage of hard work and ambition. Kathy says the tribute to her fathers memory will continue to provide important training to the next generation of car enthusiasts who also have a great love for their trade. The endowment will award a $2,000 scholarship annually to students in the Auto Collision Repair and Refinishing program. The first recipient of the Harry E. Layman, Sr. Memorial Scholarship was Gary Humphries, a second year student who graduated from the program in December.

Bill and Rosemary Kobus established two endowments in 2012 at the College of Technology. Both endowments were made in memory of Bills brother, Rick Kobus. Rick, 66, died doing what he lovedworking on his pickup truck. While he was under the truck, the back end slipped and fell on top of him, tragically ending his life. Working on cars was more than a hobby for Rick, it was his passion. Since the 1960s, there was a steady stream of vehicles in his life. Some of Ricks most memorable and prominent were a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle, a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, and a 1936 Chevrolet truck that was once in a field with a tree growing out of it. Rick won numerous awards at car shows around the country, including Best of Show for his Chevelle. Those close to Rick say that he ate, slept, and breathed cars. Once he started working on a restoration project, he wouldnt stop until it was finished. Ricks family says working on other peoples cars was one way that Rick showed he cared. The two endowments established on behalf of Rick Kobus are in the ISU Automotive Technology and Auto Collision Repair and Refinishing programs. The endowments will provide students with scholarships and allow them to continue their education. Bill and Rosemary know this tribute on behalf of Rick will keep his memory alive and help others pursue their dreams. The automotive technology endowment is the first for the program, which has been at ISU for more than eight decades.

PROVIDING TWO WHEELS FOR CHRISTMAS

From under the hood to under the tree, students in the Automotive Technology program helped Santa Claus to meet the needs of area children, just in time for Christmas. For the fifth year in a row, the students refocused their attention from four wheels to two as a way to volunteer their time and give back during the holidays. Since 2007, the program has collected abandoned bikes from area police departments and repaired them for children in need. In 2012, students in the program completely rebuilt 14 bicycles that were donated to the Southeastern Idaho Community Action Agency (SEICAA). The bikes were later distributed to area children in time for Christmas. Using money from their student organization, SkillsUSA, new seats, chains, tires, and grips were purchased. Since a bicycle is a childs first mode of transportation, students involved with the service project said it was a great way to help out around the holidays. Jeremy Dustin, automotive student, said, Just knowing the feeling that comes on Christmas morning when a child sees a bike. That feeling makes it all worthwhile. The SkillsUSA student organization is the same group that puts on the Chrome in the Dome car show every spring inside the ISU Holt Arena.

After a visit to campus in early 2012, officials from Newmont Mining Corporation pledged their support to the College of Technology. Newmont Mining Corporation was impressed with the quality of students graduating from technical programs at Idaho State University. In an effort to attract these students as potential hires, the mining company established the Newmont Technical Scholarship Fund. Newmont has pledged to commit $8,000 annually to go towards student scholarships in College of Technology fields that relate to the mining industry. The first scholarships from Newmont were awarded in fall 2012. As part of the relationship with Newmont, faculty and staff from the College of Technology visited one of the companys mining operations in north Nevada. The goal of the visit was to strengthen the established relationship with Newmont and explore career opportunities available to graduates.

NEWMONT PLEDGES SUPPORT

After establishing a 200,000 square foot plant in the Gateway West Industrial Park in Pocatello, ATCO Structures and Logistics is working with the College of Technology to now attract a workforce. The Canadian company produces modular workforce housing for use at oil, mining, and other remote locations where structures are needed. ATCO has committed to giving $5,000 a year in scholarships to students studying at the College in fields that relate to their industry. Representatives from the ISU Diesel/On-Site Power Generation Technology, Energy Systems Technology and Education Center, and Welding programs met with company representatives during tour of the mine. Bill Eames, ISU Foundation Board President at the time of the visit, also joined the College of Technology group.

 Education came to life at the College of Technology during a time when many teachers are accustomed to taking a break from the books. For the first time ever, the College of Technology hosted nearly 60 educators during the teachers summer break. The educators, from schools throughout Southeast Idaho, changed their role from teacher to student and learned creative ways to implement science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, otherwise known as STEM. Referred to as i-STEM in Idaho, the statewide initiative has been holding similar regional institutes since 2010. The institute at Idaho State University was the first for Region Five and focused specifically on energy, agriculture, and environmental education. According to the Idaho State Department of Education, the goal of i-STEM is to enhance traditional lesson plans by incorporating real world experiences for students. We are providing each of these teachers with a number of tools that can be taken back to their schools and immediately applied in a classroom setting, said Chris Guthrie, organizer of the i-STEM Institute. The focus is really on preparing all students in Idaho to be the thinkers and creators of tomorrow. During the three-day institute at ISU, participating K-12 teachers were taught how to conduct experiments, went on field trips, and listened to industry experts teach fundamentals. Each participant received a kit valued at more than $300 to take back to their classroom. Included in the kits were supplies for experiments, handouts, and curriculum tools. Participating teachers also received an Android

tablet that came loaded with educational materials. Participants went on field trips to visit the American Falls Power Plant, Idaho National Laboratory, and Don Simplot Plant. They were able to see how the local industry relies heavily on STEM. Its just exciting to be able to associate with professionals that have passion for science, mathematics, engineering, technology and yes, I will take this to my students and Im really excited about that, said Jill Kirkham, an educator at the Pocatello Womens Correctional Center. In addition to enhancing traditional lesson plans, i-STEM is hoping to shape Idahos economy and demographics. Guthrie says, Through providing real, hands-on skills to students, we can prevent poverty and prepare our local workforce to drive the states economy. Teaching students to have skills that are based in core subjects will be the key to finding a good job in the future. There was no charge for participants to register and attend the three-day event at ISU. The institutue was funded in part through a National Science Foundation Math and Science Partnership grant, the Battelle Memorial Institute, the Idaho State Department of Education, Simplot, Agrium, Idaho Falls Power, and Partners for Prosperity. Each participant also received two continuing education college credits. The 2013 i-STEM Institue will be a partnership with the ISU College of Education and once again, be hosted by the College of Technology. The 2013 institute will be extended by one day, so organizers can include more projects, experiments, and field trips. More information about i-STEM and the statewide initiatives is available online at the Idaho State Department of Educations website.

INL ATTRACTS STUDENTS FOR SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

EXPERIENCE OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM

Brandalin Barnes, left, is a nuclear technician student at the Idaho State Universitys Energy Systems Technology and Education Center. Her summer internship provided experience operating the labs nuclear facilities.

Brandalin Barnes expected to spend her 10-week internship at the Idaho National Laboratory as a go-fer or errand girl. Instead, she was working in a control room, walking down piping systems, and monitoring temperature, pressure, and other critical parameters at an INL nuclear facility. The second-year student at Idaho State Universitys Energy Systems Technology and Education Center (ESTEC) couldnt be happier. Barnes worked at the Materials and Fuels Complexs Fuel Conditioning Facility, which contains a large hot cell to protect employees working with highly-radioactive materials. I had this idea that It has been amazing. I work an internship would be making copies and getting with reactor operators and not working in attend the same training that coffee, a hot cell and learning qualifies them to operate. about system piping and components, said Barnes, BRANDALIN BARNES, Student who is enrolled in the College of Technologys Nuclear Operations Technician program. Its been amazing. I work with reactor operators and attend the same training that qualifies them to operate nuclear systems. Barnes was one of a handful of ESTEC nuclear technician students

who spent the summer interning at the INL. Some, like Barnes, worked primarily at the Materials and Fuels Complex while others are based at the labs Advanced Test Reactor. Barnes and her classmates were the first wave of students to enroll in the ESTEC nuclear operations technician program, which launched in 2011. Richard Holman, INLs workforce initiatives manager, said the goal is to give the students real experience in nuclear systems and operations. There is a tremendous shortage of experienced nuclear technicians in this country, he said. Anything we can do to help these students get experience is important to current and new nuclear plants. Students learn theory in the classroom, but the knowledge that Barnes and other ESTEC students gain in the field is invaluable. You dont get an idea of the scope or how complex these systems are until you see them and physically touch them, said Barnes. Holman hopes to increase the number of nuclear operations students interning at INL in the future. It benefits everyone. The students gain experience and are exposed to INL and its mission, he said. We are facing the same shortage everyone else is. If we educate, train and hire them locally, it will help fill the needs we have at INL with highly trained operators that want to stay in eastern Idaho.

Ownership of this test stand has been transferred to ISU and now resides on campus. This test stand and the Motor Operated Valve Design Basis Course are part of the schools technical education program. In 2004, ISU began working with INL to transfer the Nuclear Regulatory Commission MOV training course to Idaho State University, said Beaty. With INLs help and experience, ISU has been able to establish and maintain a highly respected technical training program, from which classes are held two times each year for NRC staff. In response to utility, consultant, and vendor requests, ISUs ESTEC now is offering similar training courses to nuclear industry Tech Annual 2013 | 14

GRANT RECEIVED TO FUND NUCLEAR SCHOLARSHIPS

For the third time in almost as many years, the Energy Systems Technology and Education Center (ESTEC) at the College of Technology was awarded funding for student scholarships. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) awarded $149,400 to Idaho State University that was distributed to students in the fall. The funding provided ESTEC with the opportunity to support five scholarships in the amount of $6,500 for incoming students into the program. An additional 13 scholarships were also awarded to students already enrolled in ESTEC programs. Lawrence Beaty, executive director/chair of ESTEC, said, These are multi-benefit scholarships that will provide opportunities for Idaho students to be able to afford an education and gain necessary skills in nuclear operations and maintenance. This focus on nuclear education is consistent with Governor [C.L. Butch] Otters initiative to enhance the long-term viability of Idahos nuclear industry. ESTEC launched the nuclear operations technician program in fall 2011 with help from the Idaho National Laboratory. The funding from the NRC underscores the regional importance of this program, said Richard Holman, INLs manager of energy workforce initiatives. It is critical that we have the resources to educate and train the next generation of nuclear technicians and operators. The NRC also awarded funding to ISU that allowed scholarship recipients an opportunity to travel to a national nuclear conference that was held in Florida in December. The professional conference provided networking and educational experiences for students focused on nuclear careers. Additional funding through the grant also pays for scholarship recipients to travel to an internship prior to their graduation from ESTEC. This was the third time since 2008 that ESTEC received funding from the NRC, an amount that now totals more than $350,000 for student scholarships.

about MOVs came from NRC-sponsored research performed at INL. This knowledge includes historical reports, international journal articles, conference proceedings, user group presentations, and details about industry tools used for both operations and maintenance of the nuclear components. Kevin DeWall from INL has been a stalwart as a lecturer to ensure that our training program is of the highest quality, said Beaty. Dewall added, Mark Holbrook and I have a combined 49 years of experience with nuclear MOV design, maintenance, and training. In our first industry class at ISU, we had the next generation of engineers and operational managers in attendance. So, we are passing our knowledge on to support the safe operation of current and future nuclear reactors. The MOV training course covers decades of operational and material information, including history, operational theory, valve design, controls, regulatory requirements, periodic verification, and inspection regimen. A key element of the course is a sharing of lessons learned during the past 50 years. Each attendee that completes the course is awarded a certificate.

The Energy Systems Technology and Education Center (ESTEC) at the College of Technology will soon be coordinating the nuclear energy education and training for technicians in a nine-state region. The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) has designated ESTEC as the Northwest Regional Center of Excellence for Nuclear Education and Training. The top designation includes the states of Idaho, Montana, Washington, Oregon, South Dakota, North Dakota, Utah, and Nebraska. ESTEC is one of five regional NEI-designated centers in the entire country. ESTECs role as a regional center will be to collaborate with the community and technical colleges in those states to distribute and

This is a significant accomplishment and speaks highly of the curriculum, faculty, and graduates we have at Idaho State University, said Lawrence Beatty, Chair and Executive Director of ESTEC. We will now be responsible for supporting our educational partners in the Northwest as we collaboratively work to implement and improve nuclear education. NEI developed regional centers as part of a push for implementation of the Nuclear Uniform Curriculum Program. The effort is led by industry to ensure nuclear technicians and operators learn specific documentable content that is now governed by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations under ACAD 08-006. The National Science Foundation is a key supporter of both the content and concept of the program. Thirty-eight colleges, including the ISU College of Technology, and 26 utilities currently participate in the Nuclear Uniform Curriculum Program. It is an honor for ESTEC to be designated as a regional center, said Richard Holman, Energy Workforce Initiatives Manager for Idaho National Laboratory, which led the conception and development of ESTEC in 2007. ESTEC, in partnership with INL, has built great relationships with the nuclear energy industry and that was one of the reasons it was selected.

 The newest addition on Idaho State Universitys campus took on a life of its own through the use of lasers, GPS, and specialized software. Students studying in the ISU Geomatics Technology program created a three-dimensional image of the new bronze Bengal statue shortly after it was unveiled in the fall. The statue, which overlooks the Hutchinson Quadrangle, was measured using the latest surveying technology available. The project, which was organized by faculty in the geomatics technology program, demonstrated the accuracy of available surveying equipment. We wanted to use the laser scanner on something that the students are familiar with, said Darren Leavitt, ISU Geomatics and Civil Engineering Technology instructor. The statue was the right size to give our students a starting point and familiarize them with this technology. The students were able to complete an accurate, 3-D image of the

bronze statue in less than one hour. First, targets were placed around the statue at locations locked down by Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. The scanning device then sent out laser beams which methodically hit the entire statue. Each laser was reflected and a pixel of information was sent back to the scanner. The pixels were then recorded and a picture of the statue was painted and mapped out. This modern technology has changed the way traditional surveying of roads, bridges, and buildings is being completed by engineers. The exposure of students to this equipment is extremely important to their success after graduation, says Leavitt. This is the way that our industry is heading, and projects like these reinforce what they have learned in the classroom. Leavitt also added that this technology allows surveyors to complete projects in areas that are both inaccessible and could be

potentially dangerous. The laser scanner also permits modifications to be designed to existing structures without having to close down an area for surveying. The data gathered by a laser scanner is accurate, complete, and collected in a fraction of the time. Industry representatives from Bonneville Blueprint, an Idaho company with offices in Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, and Boise, brought the scanning device used in the project and donated their time to give instruction. The surveying company also assisted the ISU program earlier in the year to complete a similar 3-D image of the Brady Chapel inside Pocatellos Mountain View Cemetery. According to Bonneville Blueprint, the scanning device costs about $130,000. The ISU Geomatics Technology program is one of only a few bachelor degree programs of its kind in the nation. It is also the only one in Idaho and began as an initiative under the direction of Governor C.L. Butch Otter. Students studying Geomatics and Civil Engineering Technology are trained to become professional land surveyors and civil engineering technicians.

The Idaho State University Computerized Machining Technology program is on the forefront of manufacturing technology with the addition of a Mazak QTN-250Y multiaxis turning center. The machine was acquired in fall 2012 and will give ISU graduates the hands-on experience necessary to successfully enter a competitive workforce. Tech Annual 2013 | 17

RASMUSSEN APPOINTED DEAN OF COLLEGE

After serving a year as interim dean, Idaho State University permanently appointed R. Scott Rasmussen as the dean of the College of Technology. The official announcement was made in April by Dr. Barbara Adamcik, Interim Provost and Vice President. Rasmussen had been serving in the interim role since May 2011, when he replaced Marilyn Davis. Prior to being appointed dean, Rasmussen was the executive director of the Energy Systems Technology and Education Center (ESTEC) in the College of the Technology for four years. Rasmussen also spent ten years as department chair of the Electronics Department at the College. In 2007, Rasmussen was instrumental in the creation of ESTEC with successful grant proposals to the National Science Foundation and the Department of Labor totaling over $2.6 million. Under his direction, ESTEC grew from three original programs to seven, with the most recent being the Nuclear Operations Technology and Renewable Energy Technology programs. ESTEC places sought-after graduates with energy companies and other manufacturing firms across the country. Rasmussens employment with ISU began as an instructor in the Electronic Systems Technology program where he taught radio frequency principles for eight years. He also received Outstanding Professor of Industrial Technology award by the National Association of Industrial Technology (NAIT). Rasmussen also served as chair over membership in the Electrical, Electronics, and Computer Technology Division for several years at the NAIT. Prior to joining the ISU Faculty, Rasmussen was employed by the Union Pacific Railroad in the communications department. His responsibilities included systems maintenance and trouble shooting of a wide variety of analog and digital radio frequency systems. Rasmussen holds an Associate of Applied Science degree from the Electronic Systems Technology program at the ISU College of Technology; a Bachelor of Science degree from ISU with a dual major in vocational-technical education and corporate training; and a Masters of Education degree from ISU. He completed his thesis on the Comparative Analysis of the Effectiveness of Electronics Troubleshooting Curriculum in Laboratory-based versus Theoretical Presentations. While seeking his masters degree, he was named College of Education Student of the Year. Rasmussen and his wife, Pat, are the parents of six children and 11 grandchildren. He enjoys spending time with his family, flying radio controlled model airplanes, and riding motorcycles.

In 2012, the College of Technology announced the creation of a new bachelors degree and students began enrolling in classes. The newly-created Bachelor of Science in Fire Services Administration was implemented as an entirely online, four year degree. The fire services program is offered to professional fire fighters and others seeking advanced education and career development to become fire administrators in the state of Idaho. This is an opportunity for fire service professionals to increase their academic preparation to be better prepared to keep Idaho families safe all while continuing their usual employment, says Dr. Paul Peterson, chair of the ISU Health Occupations Department. In the past, the College of Technology offered associate degrees in both fire services administration and emergency management. Graduates of both of those programs saw the benefits of education in their careers and requested an extension to make the two year programs into four year offerings. The new bachelor of science degree incorporates curriculum developed by the National Fire Academys Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) initiative. Forty-two upper division credits in the new degree include: education in disaster planning and control, community risk reduction, and fire-related human behavior. Plans are also moving forward to establish a Bachelor of Science degree in Emergency Management. The projected start date for that program is set for fall of 2013. Tech Annual 2013 | 18

 The taste of victory was sweet for Thomas Stacey and Josephine Wells after they placed second in a culinary competition in Salt Lake City. The two Idaho State University students competed over the summer in the 15th annual Nicco Cup Competition. Stacey and Wells represented the ISU Culinary Arts program and were pitted against other culinary schools from around the region. The competition was part of the annual Nicholas and Company Foodservice Food Show. As part of the Top Chef-style competition, each team had to prepare a menu and create dishes using mystery ingredients that were provided. The teams were then judged on taste, skill, cleanliness, and team work. Stacey and Wells had 30 minutes to write a menu that included a soup, appetizer, and entree. Each team was given access to a variety of food items that could be found in a common kitchen and three mystery ingredients that each team was required to incorporate. The mystery ingredients for the competition were a rib eye steak, scallops, and shrimp. The ISU teams menu included: a cream of asparagus soup, seared scallops with tomato and mushroom rice pilaf and red wine vinaigrette, and a pan seared rib eye steak with fingerling potatoes and sugar snap peas. Following the creation of their menu, each team had two hours to prepare all of the dishes and present them to the judges to receive a score.

After a brief and focused planning session, the two ISU students went to work to quickly prepare their menu. Each plate was submitted one at a time to the judges, and the visual display of the plate was just as important as taste. It was a fun competition and I was able to learn about both limitations and expectations, said Stacey. The experience I was able to walk away with was amazing. I have a passion for cooking and thats why I competed. The panel of three judges offered praise and criticism to each team before tabulating the final results. ISUs team received high scores for their cleanliness and cooperation. The judges also noted that the food prepared by Stacey and Wells was cooked to perfection. Wells said, We worked really well together during the competition and communication was key to our success. Before the competition began, I told myself I wasnt going to stress and just have fun no matter what happened. Stacey and Wells were awarded second place overall and received a trophy and banner to display at the College of Technology. Before the Nicco Cup Competition in Salt Lake City, students in the ISU Culinary Arts program competed internally to determine who would represent the school. This was the second time that the ISU program had the right recipe for success and was able to place at the regional competition.

 In the fall of 2011, the J.R. Simplot Company announced that it would close the doors on three of their potato processing facilities around the state. That list of closures included the Aberdeen location that employs 800 workers. With Simplots days in Aberdeen numbered, the Idaho Department of Labor, the Idaho State University College of Technology, and Simplot teamed up to help the soon-to-be displaced workers find a new beginning. At the request of Simplot, the College of Technology organized a support team of ISU departments to make visits to the facility and offer their services. Each employee was provided career testing and individualized counseling at no cost. The goal was to match workers at the facility with options for additional education and training. Similar outreach efforts were also organized by the College of Western Idaho to help displaced employees at a different Simplot processing facility. A lot of these employees have not had a traditional education in the sense of going to a college or a technical school, said Stuart Summers, ISU community relations specialist. Our goal is to work with Simplot and help these individuals find a skill, learn a trade, or

aquire more education to beat this bad news. The College of Technology also hosted a career and information fair at the Aberdeen facility to meet with employees one-on-one and discuss options for their future. Employees learned about education and career options that matched their already aquired skill set. The Idaho Department of Labor also instructed employees about available financial assistance to help employees go back to school. Each employee was provided information about taking the GED test, Adult Basic Education (ABE), and the English as a Second Language (ESL) courses. Recruiters also covered the ISU admissions process and provided information about entry into programs. Our programs at the College of Technology directly relate to a certain type of career or profession, said Summers. Thats why its great for these employees. Theyve been doing a skill and understand technology. Each employee can take this knowlege and use it as a starting point to elevate their future. In the spring of 2014, Simplot will open a new, consolidated potato processing facility in Caldwell.

WORKFORCE TRAINING PARTNERS WITH NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION

The Idaho State University Office of Workforce Training offered professional development instruction to more than two million National Education Association (NEA) members in the fall of 2012. The web-based training was made available nationally through an agreement with NEAs Member Benefits Corporation (MBC). The online instruction focused on helping teachers incorporate current classroom technology into their lessons. The need to integrate technology successfully follows a national trend to increase student success by teaching them in the digital environment in which they live. Workforce Trainings professional development offerings were content specific and based on teacher selection. Each lesson was also designed and presented by teachers who have a track record of success in their content areas. The just-in-time webinar concept was developed by Arlen Walker and Jeff Hough of Workforce Training in response to a need expressed by Idaho school districts as part of an 18-month project to enhance education with technology. This is a unique product that allows teachers to pick the just-in-time training they need, said Mark Stevens of NEA/MBC. Workforce Training was the sole provider of the web-based instruction that was made available through NEA email and national publications.
