Curtis Power Solutions donation gives Penn College students hands-on generator experience

Williamsport, Pa. — Students in the on-site power generation technology program at Penn College now have the benefit of learning in an expanded lab thanks to a gift from Curtis Power Solutions LLC. The gaseous-fueled generator set will allow students to work in smaller lab groups, according to Drew T. Smith, instructor of diesel equipment technology: electric power generation. “This will give them more hands-on time per student, and it exposes them to MTU’s control system for gaseous-fueled generator sets,” Smith said. The technology is used heavily throughout the program, which teaches students in-demand skills such as installing, servicing, and repairing diesel power generators. Students also refine the practical skills needed to work with electrical machinery, electric and electronic machine control devices, and other electronic equipment. “Donations like this are important because they provide our students and instructors with access to a variety of modern equipment,” said John A. Pecchia, assistant dean of diesel technology and natural resources. “There are a variety of reasons why graduates in the on-site power generation program are in high demand, but the recent boom in data centers has probably been the biggest driver, not just in this region but across the United States.” Penn
