Comments made by Internship Site Supervisors:
~student improved greatly in listening skills.
~if you don't already do so, start including a procedure writing in APICC program.
~good communication & interpersonal skills.
~attendance was never an issue.
~our organization was late to choose from the candidate pool. [our intern] has been a
diamond of jewels -- how did other organizations miss him? The school must have an
unbelievable amount of talent that graduated this year.
~This program is fully supported by our organization and future hires will definitely be
taken. It is most healthy to be introducing these people into the environment to help
with their grounding and development.
~student could use more well head training.
~keep student's PPT for future training.
~have had good luck with past hires from this organization
~hire before the competition does.
~can't think of any improvements to the program.
~we have had good luck with the interns and have three former hires on the payroll.
~keep this program running and stay the course of developing new people for the old
field. studies with closer ties to slope activities.
~more
~it seems to be working out great. Keep doing what you're doing.
Comments made by Interns:
~I think that even having minimal experience on the slope is going to be helpful in my
remaining classes. It has also reinforced how much more there is to learn.
~better on-site training plan
~[host site] is a professional company that will enhance any student's academic
progress through the internship experience.
~I feel that having attended my internship with [host site], I will become a valuable
asset for any company I decide to work for.
~Thanks for all the support and your efforts to make this internship a positive
experience.
~[faculty] was…diligent beyond priceless…his influence has affected my learning and
development throughout the program along with the internship.
~[host site] is committed to the internship program and their employees believe in the
process of training and developing fresh minds for the oil patch.
~[host site] had a very thorough orientation and was very well done.
~I feel the interns would benefit from the full orientation rather than the shorter version.
~the school, CIP, and [host site] were very helpful and made my experience absolutely
positive.
~it was exciting to be part of a hands-on learning experience. I was able to incorporate
and apply information gained during the time spent at school. I would strongly
recommend the internship to all students. I absorbed more in the three months than in
school because of the hands-on.
~not only did the internship help me enhance my academics, but the classes helped
with better understanding of the full function of many aspects of the process stream.
~excellent program. I learned a huge amount in a short time.

In August 2006, Kenai Peninsula embarked on an intensive visioning process in all aspects. During the past two years, KPC has focused on implementing as many of those visions
as possible, and making specific recommendations for those that could not be accomplished within two years.
Comments The last couple of years, a extensive effort and resources were put in to upgrading the various labs related to the IPI, PT, & CE programs, including AY 07-08. In the absence of
the regular full-time IPI faculty member this year (Allen Houtz, on his sabbatical) a summary of the labs for these programs has been provided rather than a list of
recommendations for next year. Allen Houtz will evaluate the effectiveness of these upgrades and provide further comments or recommendations when he returns from sabbatical
in August 2008.
1) 3 computer labs (117, 118B, 119- total of 58 workstations), running various simulation software packages, integral to our educational mission for the PRT and IPI programs:
a) Simtronics operations simulation and training software- very accurate depiction of operations consoles for approximately 20 different industrial processes. Students can learn
operations procedures, emergency procedures, characteristics and behavior of challenging operations environments, and become familiar with user interfaces and controls as
typically used on the job. Used primarily in PRT, but also in limited way in the IPI program.
b) MathCad/VisSim systems analysis and modeling software. Used to model, experiment with and analyze various systems for IPI control systems courses.

$4.5K each, without the associated installation, network cabling and configuration costs (much of this was done by dept faculty or in class by student faculty teams). These
industrial controllers are the way essentially all industrial process control is accomplished today - ”SCADA”, from oil pipelines to petrochemical plants, to automobile manufacturing.
To my knowledge, KRC has the most advanced and capable lab of this type in Alaska. This will give our IPI students extremely valuable knowledge and credentials as they join
industries which are quickly transitioning to this type of control. This environment can also be used to augment the PRT program.
4) Room 131 Industrial Instrumentation lab. (16) workstations with both modern and legacy hardware for each station. Students learn(hands-on!!) the theory of operation,
calibration, troubleshooting etc. for all of the common industrial sensors, actuators and the communications connections between them. Everything from the old pneumatic
transmitters and actuators(which are still found everywhere in industry) to modern electronic systems are available, and are studied.
