Inside the pages of this publicaon you will nd stories about ourdedicated alumni, instructors, and students. In 2012, we received

a major donaon that will help to train the next generaon

of aircra mechanics (page 4), we were the benefactors of a

generous endowment created on behalf of a late friend of theCollege (page 10), and we secured an addional $150,000 to go

towards student scholarships in the nuclear program (page 15).

In addion to these milestones, weve lled the pages of this

magazine with a number of other accomplishments that wereproud to share with you, our friends.

Despite the ongoing economic crisis facing the country, ou

graduates are connuing to enjoy a very high job placement rate

and exceponal starng salaries. This speaks to the caliber ofour programs, faculty, and the students we have studying at our

instuon. It is my sincerest hope that you also recognize the high

level of educaon that exists at the College of Technology.

I want to personally invite you to visit our campus, share in our

successes, and connue to foster the relaonship you have with

The compeve edge for students graduang from the Idaho

State University Aircra Maintenance Technology program got alot sharper in 2012 thanks to a major partnership and donaon.

The ISU program, thanks to support from an industry partner,

received a fully funconal ight simulator that is already providingvital hands-on training for students. The new simulator will prepare

graduates to successfully enter a growing aviaon industry.

The donated ight simulator was provided by Western Aircra,

a Boise-based company that has taken great interest in the Collegeof Technology. In addion to the donated ight simulator, experse

training and ongoing instrucon is also being provided by WesternAircra on a connuous basis. The aviaon company says their

commitment and investment to higher educaon helps to ensurethat their industry needs will be met by a future workforce.

This is real-world applicaon that we are supplying to ISU,

said Tracy Kalbeisch, Director of Aircra Services at Western

Aircra. I understand how important it is to have the basics ofhow 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 seeaer graduaon. 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 aircra,said Gary Shipley, Aircra Maintenance Technology program

coordinator. We can increase the number of people involved in

our group seng and parallel the real world installaons.The ight simulator allows students to diagnose, troubleshoot

and x real life problems, while using the latest technology

available. Its fully funconal, said Kalbeisch. Its state-of-the-

art. There are a lot of airplanes out there that are ying aroundtoday with this exact technology in them.

Western Aircra has also commied addional trainingmodules and instrucon from employees at their company

Kalbeisch says the total value of their generous commitment tothe 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 Aircratake noce and be willing to oer their generous support.

The aviaon company made other program visits in the past

year to oer course instrucon and hands-on training to students

The past program visits included training from experiencedemployees at Western Aircra.

Earlier in the year, four technicians from Western Aircra

7/29/2019 2013 Tech Annual


spent two days in Pocatello training students on simulated aircra

circuit boards and airframe design models. Western Aircras

training goes above and beyond what is included in the current

ISU curriculum and exceeds Federal Aviaon Administraonstandards for instrucon.

We are replicang 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 inspectoat Western Aircra.

Western Aircra hopes their donaon of equipment and

training will generate an interest from potenal students to pursue

an educaon in aircra maintenance. The company employs a

large number of graduates from the College of Technology andhas been so impressed by those employees that they want to

aract more recruits. We need to create excitement and show

what careers are available in aviaon, said Kalbeisch.Graduates from the aircra maintenance program connue

to enjoy a very high job placement rate. Shipley says the number

of recent graduates from the program who are able to nd

employment shortly aer graduaon is well over 90 percentHe also expects

that number to

connue to grow

in the future.The demand

globally, as wellas naonally, is

higher than its ever been, said Shipley. The average age for thecurrent workforce is about 58, so theres a big gap coming up in

the next ten years both naonally and globally.

Western Aircras donaon of me, personnel, andequipment is helping to shape the next generaon of aircra

mechanics. Western Aircra has been

involved with the College of Technology for 15

years and currently, more than 25 percent oftheir workforce comes from graduates of the

College of Technology.

i-STEM INSTITUTE TEACHES AHANDS-ON APPROACEducaon came to life at the College of Technology during ame when many teachers are accustomed to taking a break from theooks. For the rst me ever, the College of Technology hosted nearly

0 educators during the teachers summer break. The educators,rom schools throughout Southeast Idaho, changed their role from

eacher to student and learned creave ways to implement science,

echnology, engineering, and mathemacs, otherwise known as

TEM.Referred to as i-STEM in Idaho, the statewide iniave has been

olding similar regional instutes since 2010. The instute at Idaho

tate University was the rst for Region Five and focused specically

n energy, agriculture, and environmental educaon. According to thedaho State Department of Educaon, the goal of i-STEM is to enhance

radional lesson plans by incorporang real world experiences for

tudents.

We are providing each of these teachers with a number of toolshat can be taken back to their schools and immediately applied

n a classroom seng, said Chris Guthrie, organizer of the i-STEM

nstute. The focus is really on preparing all students in Idaho to be

he thinkers and creators of tomorrow.During the three-day instute at ISU, parcipang K-12 teachers

were taught how to conduct experiments, went on eld trips, and

stened to industry experts teach fundamentals. Each parcipant

eceived a kit valued at more than $300 to take back to their classroom.ncluded in the kits were supplies for experiments, handouts, and

urriculum tools. Parcipang teachers also received an Android

tablet that came loaded with educaonal materials.

Parcipants went on eld trips to visit the American Falls P

Plant, Idaho Naonal Laboratory, and Don Simplot Plant. They w

able to see how the local industry relies heavily on STEM. Itsexcing to be able to associate with professionals that have pa

As the worlds nuclear power plants age, so do those who are

perang and maintaining them. Experse residing in the rering

workforce needs to be transferred to the next generaon of

perators, maintenance sta, and engineers at these aging powerlants, as well as to those employed at all new power plants.

The Idaho Naonal

aboratory (INL) and Idaho

tate University, encouragedy the Nuclear Regulatory

ommission, are working to

rain the next generaon of

uclear operators and skilledmaintenance workforce.

INL has signed a Work

or Others agreement withSU to conduct four motor-

perated valve (MOV)raining classes each year for

he nuclear power industry,aid Gary Smith, INLs senior

ommercializaon manager

or Nuclear Science and

echnology. This course ofnstrucon will be extremely

mportant in ensuring that key

afety knowledge is passed

n to the next generaon ofhe nuclear power industry,

mith added.

We held our rst MOV

ndustry training class at ISUs Energy Systems Technology andducaon Center (ESTEC) September 10, said Lawrence Beaty,

STECs execuve director. Our rst four and a half day industry

lass earned a special disncon. Two of the seven students were

nternaonal aendees from Belgium.I have been part of the MOV Engineering Team for the last

hree years, said Jolinda Reid, nuclear technologist at Comanche

eak Nuclear Power Plant, and aer aending the Motor Operated

Valve Design Basis Course, my knowledge and understanding of MOVperaons design and funcon has expanded. She added, I would

ighly recommend this course to all personnel in the MOV industry.

Using federal funding, INL designed and fabricated a motor

perated valve test stand originally installed at INL to evaluate

erformance and operang characteriscs of a variety of MOVssed within the nuclear industry. Ownership of this test stand has

een transferred to ISU and now resides on campus. This test stand

nd the Motor Operated Valve Design Basis Course are part of thechools technical educaon program.

In 2004, ISU began working with INL to transfer the Nuclear

egulatory Commission MOV training course to Idaho State

University, said Beaty. With INLs help and experience, ISU has beenble to establish and maintain a highly respected technical training

rogram, from which classes are held two mes each year for NRC

f current and future nuclear reactors.The MOV training course covers decades of operaonal and

material informaon, including history, operaonal theory, valve

esign, controls, regulatory requirements, periodic vericaon,

nd inspecon regimen. A key element of the course is a sharingf lessons learned during the past 50 years. Each aendee that

ompletes the course is awarded a cercate.

The Energy Systems Technology and Educaon Center (ESTEC) at

he College of Technology will soon be coordinang the nuclear energy

ducaon and training for technicians in a nine-state region.

The Nuclear Energy Instute (NEI) has designated ESTEC as theNorthwest Regional Center of Excellence for Nuclear Educaon and

raining. The top designaon includes the states of Idaho, Montana,

Washington, Oregon, South Dakota, North Dakota, Utah, and

Nebraska. ESTEC is one of ve regional NEI-designated centers in thenre country.

ESTECs role as a regional center will be to collaborate with the

ommunity and technical colleges in those states to distribute and

coordinate curriculum, pursue program improvements, integ

technology, and share informaon.

This is a signicant accomplishment and speaks highly o

curriculum, faculty, and graduates we have at Idaho State Universaid Lawrence Beay, Chair and Execuve Director of ESTEC.

will now be responsible for supporng our educaonal partne

the Northwest as we collaboravely work to implement and imp

nuclear educaon.NEI developed regional centers as part of a push for implement

of the Nuclear Uniform Curriculum Program. The eort is le

industry to ensure nuclear technicians and operators learn sp

documentable content that is now governed by the InstutNuclear Power Operaons under ACAD 08-006. The Naonal Sci

Foundaon is a key supporter of both the content and concept o

program.Thirty-eight colleges, including the ISU College of Technology

relaonships with the nuclear energy industry and that was one oreasons it was selected.

ISU RECEIVESTOP DESIGNATIONFOR NUCLEAR TRAINING

For the third me in almost as many years, the Energy Syst

Technology and Educaon Center (ESTEC) at the College of Techno

was awarded funding for student scholarships. The Nuclear Regula

Commission (NRC) awarded $149,400 to Idaho State Universitywas distributed to students in the fall.

The funding provided ESTEC with the opportunity to suppor

scholarships in the amount of $6,500 for incoming students intoprogram. An addional 13 scholarships were also awarded to studalready enrolled in ESTEC programs.

Lawrence Beaty, execuve director/chair of ESTEC, said, T

are mul-benet scholarships that will provide opportunies for I

students to be able to aord an educaon and gain necessary sknuclear operaons and maintenance. This focus on nuclear educ

is consistent with Governor [C.L. Butch] Oers iniave to enh

the long-term viability of Idahos nuclear industry.

ESTEC launched the nuclear operaons technician prografall 2011 with help from the Idaho Naonal Laboratory. The fun

from the NRC underscores the regional importance of this progr

said Richard Holman, INLs manager of energy workforce inia

It is crical that we have the resources to educate and train thegeneraon of nuclear technicians and operators.

The NRC also awarded funding to ISU that allowed schola

recipients an opportunity to travel to a naonal nuclear confer

that was held in Florida in December. The professional conferprovided networking and educaonal experiences for stud

focused on nuclear careers. Addional funding through the grant

pays for scholarship recipients to travel to an internship prior to

graduaon from ESTEC.This was the third me since 2008 that ESTEC received fun

from the NRC, an amount that now totals more than $350,00

student scholarships.

GROWL BENGALS, GROWLNEW STATUE COMES TO LIFE THROUGH 3D IMAGING

The newest addion on Idaho State Universitys campus tookn a life of its own through the use of lasers, GPS, and specialized

oware. Students studying in the ISU Geomacs Technology program

reated a three-dimensional image of the new bronze Bengal statuehortly aer it was unveiled in the fall. The statue, which overlooks

he Hutchinson Quadrangle, was measured using the latest surveying

echnology available.

The project, which was organized by faculty in the geomacsechnology program, demonstrated the accuracy of available

urveying equipment. We wanted to use the laser scanner on

omething that the students are familiar with, said Darren Leavi,

SU Geomacs and Civil Engineering Technology instructor. Thetatue was the right size to give our students a starng point and

amiliarize 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 arothe statue at locaons locked down by Global Posioning Sy

(GPS) satellites. The scanning device then sent out laser beams w

methodically hit the enre statue. Each laser was reected apixel of informaon was sent back to the scanner. The pixels

then recorded and a picture of the statue was painted and ma

out.

This modern technology has changed the way tradisurveying of roads, bridges, and buildings is being complete

engineers. The exposure of students to this equipment is extre

important to their success aer graduaon, says Leavi. This i

way that our industry is heading, and projects like these reinfwhat they have learned in the classroom.

Leavi also added that this technology allows surveyor

complete projects in areas that are both inaccessible and coul

Industry representaves from Bonneville Blueprint, an Idaho

ompany with oces in Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, and Boise, brought the

canning device used in the project and donated their me to givenstrucon. The surveying company also assisted the ISU program

arlier in the year to complete a similar 3-D image of the Brady Chapel

nside Pocatellos Mountain View Cemetery. According to Bonneville

lueprint, the scanning device costs about $130,000.The ISU Geomacs Technology program is one of only a few

Aer serving a year as interimdean, Idaho State University

permanently appointed R. Sco

Rasmussen as the dean of theCollege of Technology. The ocial

announcement was made in Aprilby 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 execuve

irector of the Energy Systems Technology and Educaon Center

ESTEC) in the College of the Technology for four years. Rasmussen alsopent ten years as department chair of the Electronics Department at

he College.

In 2007, Rasmussen was instrumental in the creaon of ESTEC

with successful grant proposals to the Naonal Science Foundaon

nd the Department of Labor totaling over $2.6 million. Under hisirecon, ESTEC grew from three original programs to seven, with the

most recent being the Nuclear Operaons Technology and Renewable

nergy Technology programs. ESTEC places sought-aer graduates

with energy companies and other manufacturing rms across theountry.

Rasmussens employment with ISU began as an instructthe Electronic Systems Technology program where he taught r

frequency principles for eight years. He also received Outstan

Professor of Industrial Technology award by the Naonal Associof Industrial Technology (NAIT). Rasmussen also served as chair

membership in the Electrical, Electronics, and Computer TechnoDivision for several years at the NAIT.

Prior to joining the ISU Faculty, Rasmussen was employe

the Union Pacic Railroad in the communicaons department

responsibilies included systems maintenance and trouble shoof a wide variety of analog and digital radio frequency systems.

Rasmussen holds an Associate of Applied Science degree

the Electronic Systems Technology program at the ISU Colleg

Technology; a Bachelor of Science degree from ISU with a

major in vocaonal-technical educaon and corporate training;a Masters of Educaon degree from ISU. He completed his t

on the Comparave Analysis of the Eecveness of Electro

Troubleshoong Curriculum in Laboratory-based versus Theore

Presentaons. While seeking his masters degree, he was naCollege of Educaon Student of the Year.

Rasmussen and his wife, Pat, are the parents of six children11 grandchildren. He enjoys spending me with his family, ying

controlled model airplanes, and riding motorcycles.

In 2012, the College of Technology announced the creaon of a

new bachelors degree and students began enrolling in classes. Thenewly-created Bachelor of Science in Fire Services Administraon

was implemented as an enrely online, four year degree. The re

services program is oered to professional re ghters and othersseeking advanced educaon and career development to become

re administrators in the state of Idaho.

This is an opportunity for re service professionals to increase

their academic preparaon to be beer prepared to keep Idahofamilies safe all while connuing their usual employment, says Dr.

Paul Peterson, chair of the ISU Health Occupaons Department.

In the past, the College of Technology oered associate degrees

in both re services administraon and emergency management.Graduates of both of those programs saw the benets of educaon

in their careers and requested an extension to make the two year

programs into four year oerings.

The new bachelor of science degree incorporates curriculumdeveloped by the Naonal Fire Academys Fire and Emergency

Services Higher Educaon (FESHE) iniave. Forty-two upper

division credits in the new degree include: educaon in disaster

planning and control, community risk reducon, and re-relatedhuman behavior.

Plans are also moving forward to establish a Bachelor of

The taste of victory was sweet for Thomas Stacey and Josephine

Wells aer they placed second in a culinary compeon in Salt Lakeity. The two Idaho State University students competed over the

ummer in the 15th annual Nicco Cup Compeon. Stacey and Wells

epresented the ISU Culinary Arts program and were pied against

ther culinary schools from around the region. The compeon wasart of the annual Nicholas and Company Foodservice Food Show.

As part of the Top Chef-style compeon,

ach team had to prepare a menu and create

ishes using mystery ingredients that wererovided. The teams were then judged on taste,

kill, cleanliness, and team work.

Stacey and Wells had 30 minutes to write

menu that included a soup, appezer, andntree. Each team was given access to a variety

f food items that could be found in a common

itchen and three mystery ingredients that each

eam was required to incorporate. The mystery ingredients for theompeon were a rib eye steak, scallops, and shrimp.

The ISU teams menu included: a cream of asparagus soup, seared

callops with tomato and mushroom rice pilaf and red wine vinaigree,

nd a pan seared rib eye steak with ngerling potatoes and sugar snapeas. Following the creaon of their menu, each team had two hours

o prepare all of the dishes and present them to the judges to receive acore.

Aer a brief and focused planning session, the two ISU stud

went to work to quickly prepare their menu. Each plate was submone at a me to the judges, and the visual display of the plate wa

as important as taste.

It was a fun compeon and I was able to learn about

limitaons and expectaons, said Stacey. The experience I wasto walk away with was amazing. I have a passion for cooking and t

why I competed.

The panel of three judges oered p

and cricism to each team before tabulangnal results. ISUs team received high score

their cleanliness and cooperaon. The judges

noted that the food prepared by Stacey and W

was cooked to perfecon.Wells said, We worked really well toge

during the compeon and communicaon

key to our success. Before the compeon be

I told myself I wasnt going to stress and just have fun no maer happened.

Stacey and Wells were awarded second place overall and rece

a trophy and banner to display at the College of Technology. Before

Nicco Cup Compeon in Salt Lake City, students in the ISU CulArts program competed internally to determine who would repre

The Idaho State University Oce of Workforce Training oered

rofessional development instrucon to more than two millionaonal Educaon Associaon (NEA) members in the fall of 2012.

he web-based training was made available naonally through an

greement with NEAs Member Benets Corporaon (MBC).

The online instrucon focused on helping teachers incorporateurrent classroom technology into their lessons. The need to integrate

echnology successfully follows a naonal trend to increase student

uccess by teaching them in the digital environment in which they live.Workforce Trainings professional development oerings were contentpecic and based on teacher selecon. Each lesson was also designed

nd presented by teachers who have a track record of success in their

ontent areas.

The just-in-me webinar concept was developed by ArlenWalker and Je Hough of Workforce Training in response to a need

xpressed by Idaho school districts as part of an 18-month project to

nhance educaon with technology. This is a unique product that

llows teachers to pick the just-in-me training they need, said Marktevens of NEA/MBC. Workforce Training was the sole provider of the

web-based instrucon that was made available through NEA email

nd naonal publicaons.

In the fall of 2011, the J.R. Simplot Company announced that it

would close the doors on three of their potato processing facilies

round the state. That list of closures included the Aberdeen locaonhat employs 800 workers. With Simplots days in Aberdeen numbered,

he Idaho Department of Labor, the Idaho State University College of

echnology, and Simplot teamed up to help the soon-to-be displaced

workers nd a new beginning.At the request of Simplot, the College of Technology organized

support team of ISU departments to make visits to the facility ander their services. Each employee was provided career tesng and

ndividualized counseling at no cost. The goal was to match workers athe facility with opons for addional educaon and training. Similar

utreach eorts were also organized by the College of Western Idaho

o help displaced employees at a dierent Simplot processing facility.

A lot of these employees have not had a tradional educaonn the sense of going to a college or a technical school, said Stuart

ummers, ISU community relaons specialist. Our goal is to work

with Simplot and help these individuals nd a skill, learn a trade, or

aquire more educaon to beat this bad news.

The College of Technology also hosted a career and inform

fair at the Aberdeen facility to meet with employees one-on-onediscuss opons for their future. Employees learned about educa

and career opons that matched their already aquired skill set

Idaho Department of Labor also instructed employees about avai

nancial assistance to help employees go back to school.Each employee was provided informaon about taking the

test, Adult Basic Educaon (ABE), and the English as a Second Lang(ESL) courses. Recruiters also covered the ISU admissions process

provided informaon about entry into programs.Our programs at the College of Technology directly relate

certain type of career or profession, said Summers. Thats wh

great for these employees. Theyve been doing a skill and unders

technology. Each employee can take this knowlege and use it starng point to elevate their future.

In the spring of 2014, Simplot will open a new, consolid

potato processing facility in Caldwell.
