Career Craze Camp Teaches about Industrial Robotics

2014 Career Craze camp industrial roboticsFor the second summer, Elizabethtown Community and Technical College has held “Career Craze” camps, designed to expose students to careers in various fields and industries. This year eighteen students between the ages of 11 and 15 participated in the Industrial Robotics Technology Camp from July 14-17. Career Craze camps are held at all 16 community and technical colleges throughout Kentucky.

This four-day camp included an introduction to the theory of robots, including applications, basic programming, components, industrial robotic safety standards, industrial robot classifications, key programming techniques, robotic motion concepts, and terminology using real-world industrial robots on the college’s robotics trainers at the Elizabethtown campus. Students toured Metalsa to see their robotics technology and listen to speakers in order to understand the background necessary for a high-paying and rewarding career in the robotics field for the 21st century.

The camp, which was provided at no cost to the students, was taught by ECTC Associate Professor Michael Hazzard. Dr. Jay Box, Chancellor of the Kentucky Community and Technology System, visited the camp on its last day to see what the students had learned and to help award their certificates.

Fall Registration August 6 -7, classes start August 18

Elizabethtown Community and Technical College (ECTC) is the most convenient and affordable college opportunity for students who still haven’t registered for classes this Fall. It’s not too late to apply and enroll in college classes, which start August 18, 2014.

 
ECTC offers 30 programs, including transfer degrees and career preparation. The college's Go2Transfer program allows for easy transfer of credits to four-year universities with its Associate in Arts and Associate in Science Degrees. Its Go2Work program allows students to earn industry-leading credentials in high-wage, high-demand fields in two years or less.

According to the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority, students who attend community and technical colleges in Kentucky save more than $7,000 a year. ECTC offers convenient campus locations in Elizabethtown, Fort Knox, Leitchfield, Springfield, and online course options.

By attending ECTC, students receive a great education without getting weighed down in debt. With tuition set at $147 per credit in the fall, ECTC has the lowest tuition of any college or university in the state. Students pay less than half of what they would pay at four-year institutions. For students seeking to transfer, ECTC offers a variety of transfer scholarships to four-year institutions across the state.

 
"For many students, the most significant barrier in their pursuit of a college education is affordability," said Dr. Thelma White, ECTC President/CEO. "We have worked diligently to keep our cost low and our standards high, while focusing on student access, retention and success."

ECTC will hold registration for the Fall semester on August 6 and 7. Students can complete their applications online at www.elizabethtown.kctcs.edu/admissions. Financial aid is still available to those who are eligible, but it’s important to complete the federal financial aid application, FAFSA, as soon as possible.

 
For more information, call ECTC at 270-769-2371 or visit the website at www.elizabethtown.kctcs.edu.
Fall Semester classes begin August 18, 2014. Students can register for the full semester or the bi-terms, which run August 18 – October 12, and October 13 – December 14.

For those who have not registered early, Fall Registration will be held Wednesday, August 6, and Thursday, August 7, according to an alphabetic schedule in the Regional Postsecondary Education Center in Elizabethtown. Go to the academic calendar on the website for details of the schedule.

http://elizabethtown.kctcs.edu/Academics/Academic_Calendar.aspx

Two ECTC Students Win National SkillsUSA Awards

2014 SkillsUSA national winnersIn June, two students from Elizabethtown Community and Technical College’s Springfield Campus competed at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Kansas City, Mo., where they won a silver medal in mechatronics.
Cory Medley, 26, from Loretto, and Cole Richardson, 20, from Bardstown, also completed their associate’s degrees from ECTC in industrial maintenance and electrical technology. Richardson served as president of ECTC Springfield’s SkillsUSA chapter.
SkillsUSA is a program that creates a partnership between students, teachers and industry to facilitate a skilled workforce in America.
“It’s a national organization that offers opportunities for students to demonstrate occupational and leadership skills at regional, state and national competitions,” said Phil Roberts, program coordinator for industrial maintenance and faculty advisor for SkillsUSA at ECTC Springfield.
Medley and Richardson competed in mechatronics, which includes assembling, adjusting and testing an automated machine system. “We had a one-hour written test, and two three-hour build sessions where we put a machine together with prints and schematics to build to specifications,” Medley said. After running the machine, the students then worked on troubleshooting to get the bugs out. “The build was definitely more difficult than the written test,” he said.
Medley and Richardson earned the highest scores for their section on the written test and second build. “They were so close to winning gold,” Roberts said.
Medley and Richardson formed their team last fall and have participated three times in SkillsUSA competitions, winning medals each time. They also competed in the regional competition, where they were awarded a silver medal; and at state, where they won gold. “They only pick one team from the state competition to go to nationals,” Medley said.
To prepare for the national competition, the students put in extra time studying and practicing. “A lot of the hard skills we learned from class,” Richardson said, “but we spent the two weeks before nationals working at night.”
“They went above and beyond normal class hours,” Roberts said, “even working and planning on the drive to the competition.”
The competition was tough, with no room for errors or distractions, Roberts said.
The students’ focus paid off. “I was excited to win,” Medley said. “We were given an opportunity to showcase all the skills we’ve learned and all the time and effort we’ve put in to training.”
“It was awesome to win,” Richardson agreed.
But the competition isn’t just about the medals. It also is a resume builder and a place to network with businesses recruiting new talent.
“The competition was sponsored by national and international corporations. Even they realize the importance of recognizing skilled students,” Roberts said. “There are more jobs offered than there are people to fill them.”


In fact, after competing Medley was offered and has accepted a position as maintenance technician from Nissan in Nashville.
“The opportunities for advancement are endless,” Medley said. “It’s a world-class facility, with huge advancements in technology, which will create a whole new world of learning to help me better myself.”
Medley also plans to continue his education beyond the associate’s degree he received from ECTC and study engineering, as does Richardson, who now is a student at the University of Kentucky studying electrical engineering.
“Cole is a go-getter in that he sets his eyes on something and goes and gets it,” Roberts said. “And Cory is driven to be successful. He came in with a goal and did it, working 50 to 60 hours a week and going to school and doing well at both.”
Both Medley and Richardson have left their mark on their college, as well as their advisor. “Only once in a lifetime do you get a Cole and Cory in your classrooms,” Roberts said. “Proud doesn’t even describe it. These students and this campus have consistently exceeded expectations.”

An ECTC Love Story

First comes school, then comes marriage


Spataros meet, marry at ECTC


By Anna Taylor

Thursday, September 25, 2014 at 1:46 am (Updated: September 25, 6:19 am)


For Chuck and Joella Spataro, the phrase “opposites attract” could not be more true. 


From Chuck growing up in New Jersey and Joella being a Hardin County native, the two found common ground at Elizabethtown Community College — now ECTC — where they have worked since the late 1970s.

The two have slightly different stories on how they met.

“I was hired and they introduced me to the whole campus,” Chuck said. “Joella had not been there while I was being introduced. I didn’t remember anybody’s name and so a few days later we had an assembly for the retirement of (Roy) Jaggers. I went to my first assembly and Joella walked into the assembly room. I grabbed my secretary [Mimi Pike] and said ‘I haven’t met that one.’”

Chuck considered it love at first sight.

For Joella, the experience went a little differently.

“Yes, it was an assembly for Mr. Jaggers, but I was sitting next to Mimi and he walks in and I was just looking at the new guy,” she said. “Every time I would look he would be looking at us and I thought he was trying to get Mimi’s attention so I said ‘your boss is needing you.’ And I guess that’s when he said he hadn’t met me.”

Before he asked Joella out, Chuck said she would try to fix him up with her best friend, Sharon Spratt, who, like the Spataros, is an employee at ECTC today.

“When I would walk down the hallway and Joella and Sharon would be talking, she would excuse herself so I could be alone with Sharon,” Chuck said.

Spratt must have taken the hint because she told Joella it wouldn’t work because all Chuck ever did was ask about her.

Although Chuck didn’t have much money, he worked for two weeks before he built the courage to ask his future wife out on a date, spending his first paycheck on a steak dinner at Briar Patch and movie tickets for “Heaven Can Wait.”

Chuck said he quickly learned Joella was one to take up date offers.

“After a date I would think, ‘Well let’s go get an ice cream or something,” he said. “We would go to Jerry’s and I would have like $7 in my pocket and she would always order steak and eggs.”

“I didn’t know he was poor,” Joella joked.

The two were married in 1980, dating their marriage at 34 years, which Chuck joked are four or five of the happiest years of his life.

Joella started at ECTC as a student in 1975 and was hired in 1976 as a student worker while finishing school. Chuck said he was hired in 1978, right after graduating from Ball State University. Today, Chuck is a professor and career counselor while Joella is the senior administrative assistant to the provost.

“Sometimes a new faculty member will come in and say ‘I just met the secretary to the provost,’” Chuck said. “Then I’ll say ‘Yeah, she’s a wonderful secretary, but I wouldn’t want to be married to her.’ Because she is a detailed person.”

“And he’s not,” Joella added.

The two have no children, but they have had many cats through the years.

Since being at ECTC, Joella and Chuck have worked for all three college presidents and most or all of the 10 provosts ECTC has seen.

“I feel like I was raised on campus,” Joella said. “I met my husband and I’ve had three bosses since working here.”

Joella also has worked for Diane Owsley as a secretary for about 22 years, which Chuck and Joella agree is like a second marriage. Owsley previously was division chairwoman for social and behavioral science while Joella was her administrative assistant and now Owsley is interim provost.

Chuck said many people will say he is the brains and she is the beauty.

“If you get to know her, she’s actually both,” he said.

While a retirement date has not been set, the two plan on retiring from ECTC together.

ECTC turns 50



Open house to be conducted Saturday


By Anna Taylor

Wednesday, September 24, 2014 at 5:55 am (Updated: September 24, 6:00 am)

Over the course of 50 years, Hardin County has witnessed Elizabethtown Community and Technical College grow from a single building community college to a multi-campus community and technical college with more than 7,000 students and 27 academic programs.

ECTC will commemorate 50 years of higher education from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at its home campus in Elizabethtown. The event is free.

The 50th anniversary homecoming and open house will give visitors plenty to reminisce about throughout the day. A Japanese drummer will kick off the celebration at 10 a.m. followed by the ECTC Choristers at 10:30 a.m. and ECTC band at 11:30 a.m. Joseph Williams, an Elvis tribute artist, will perform at 1 p.m. A kids’ zone also will be set up all day including bounce inflatables and a Barons obstacle course.

The James S. Owen Building, the campus’ first building named after its first president, will house historical displays and photos along with light refreshments. From 10 a.m. to noon, displays will feature Elizabethtown Com­munity College from the 1960s through the 1970s and from noon to 3 p.m., the campus and campus life from the 1980s through today will be displayed.

“We want to encourage alumni and faculty and the community to come back and reunite with their old faculty, friends and classrooms,” said ECTC Public Relations Director Mary Jo King, who helped coordinate the day’s events.

Throughout the day, ECTC faculty will guide campus tours and greet visitors. The tours will include visits through the James S. Owen Buil­­­d­­ing, Sci­ence Building, Aca­­­­­­­­d­em­­­­ic Tech­nical Building, Regional Postsecondary Center, Fire/Rescue Center and Occupational/Technical Building, where ECTC students will have demonstrations and displays set up for their specific program.

“If you haven’t been on campus over the past 20 years, you’re going to see a lot of changes,” King said.

At 12:30 p.m. ECTC’s president and CEO Dr. Thelma White will have a formal welcome in the courtyard between the Owen and Science buildings. An open microphone will be available for anyone to share their memories.

Much of the proceeds made throughout the day will benefit ECTC’s current students. SkillsUSA will provide food for visitors with proceeds benefiting their competitions and a silent auction will be set up in the Morrison Gallery with proceeds benefiting the Barons sports teams. Items for the auction can be viewed and bid on at https://apps.elizabethtown.kctcs.edu/silentauction/.

The automotive/diesel program also is hosting an Odyssey Day that will feature modern hybrid and electric cars and compare them to vintage cars on loan from Swope Cars of Yesteryear. The hybrid and electric cars will be available to drive.

The day concludes with a Japanese hip-hop dance by the Japanese School for its athletic day at 3 p.m. outside the Owen building.

King said another anniversary event is being planned for the spring.

Faculty, alumni gather for ECTC 50th celebration

Memories shared during college's open house


By Anna Taylor, The News-Enterprise 

Sunday, September 28, 2014 at 12:03 am (Updated: September 28, 12:30 am)

Maurice Utley, Martha Bain Rice, Martha Wolfe and other past and present Elizabethtown Community and Technical College faculty members reminisced over chocolate truffles and coffee Saturday morning as they discussed the “good ole days.” 

Utley, who was hired part-time in 1964 and then full-time in 1965 as an English professor at what was then Elizabethtown Community College, said she hasn’t been back on campus much since retiring in 1997.

“There’s a lot more people here and a lot more programs,” Utley said. “It keeps growing and growing and growing, which is good.”

Utley was one of several visitors to ECTC’s campus Saturday for its 50th anniversary open house and homecoming.

Wolfe, who is a current biology professor at ECTC, opened an old yearbook in front of Utley from the 1970s to a page with photo of a young female professor. As if on cue, Utley laughed when she looked at her photo.

The two then reviewed a memo from ECC’s first president, Dr. James Owen, with guidelines to his faculty, including one rule of maintaining office hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., which would not work with today’s addition of night courses.

“Because the faculty’s bigger, you’re teaching courses at all of these off-campus sites and you just don’t see people from 8 to 5,” Wolfe said.

Although Owen kept specific rules for the faculty, Utley and Rice agreed he was a gentleman who would enforce what was necessary for the college to maintain a superior workplace.

“(ECC) was a wonderful place to work and Dr. Jim was the best boss I ever had,” Rice said.

During the time Rice was hired in 1965, professors and teachers were not required to have a master’s degree in Kentucky like they are today, she said. The starting salary for a professor then was around $6,700.

Rice taught literature, composition, theater, journalism and speech at the college.

“You name it, I taught it,” she said.

Rice also started the children’s theater, which still is a program at the college.

By early afternoon, ECTC President and CEO Dr. Thelma White welcomed everyone outside between the James S. Owen and Science buildings.

“Today’s celebration honors many of our pioneers of post-secondary

education, many who have paved the way for the establishment of a community and technical college,” White said. “…We are celebrating not only many of the leaders but we are also celebrating individuals who have been with us over that time.”

White presented the longest-standing faculty member of the college, Dr. Linda Mayhew, a plaque of appreciation for her 50-year tenure.

Nancy Lea Owen, a co-chairwoman for the ECTC 50th anniversary events, honored her late husband, James Owen, by calling him a brilliant and humbled man. She said he took a sow’s ear and made it into a silk purse, referring to the development and growth of the college.

“When I first saw what’s now named the Owen building, it was sitting up on this rise and it was all red clay and eroded,” Owen said. “It was the funniest-looking square plastic building with not a piece of shrubbery, tree or piece of grass anywhere to be found. I thought ‘He’s not going to take this job. He can’t build a college out of that.’”

Owen admitted she was wrong and was happy he took the job.

“It’s a golden day and it’s a golden celebration,” she said. “If he was here today, he would say, ‘Bless your hearts.’”

ECTC health care programs embrace advances

Adapting at the speed of tech

College’s health care programs embrace advances

By Anna Taylor

Friday, September 26, 2014 at 4:00 am (Updated: September 26, 4:00 am)

Some of the equipment nurses use daily are advantages the health industry only dreamed about in the 1960s. Health care students did not have the technology for hands-on training in the classroom before getting their first patient in clinical during the early days at Elizabethtown Community College.

Now, tens of thousands of dollars have been invested in health-related programs at the school to provide proper training necessary before working with real patients.

Penny Logsdon, program director for radiography and division chairwoman for ECTC’s biology and health programs, has been at the college for 22 years. She started working in what was the vocational technical school and went through the school’s consolidation. She said over the past few years,

technology in the classrooms has improved to match that of the industry standards.

Logsdon said one big change over time at ECTC is the addition of computers in the classrooms.

“Much of what our students do in the clinical setting is using computers,” Logsdon said. “The days of paper are over.”

Radiography students don’t use X-ray film anymore, and paper charts are obsolete because everything is digital.

“Even though most of the students come to us with some computer skills now, we want them to be very comfortable with it,” Logsdon said. “So when they’re here in the classroom, they’re going to be using computers all the time, plus the special computer we have set up for the digital X-rays we do.”

The college has two fully functional X-ray labs and what they call patient-equivalent phantoms. One of those phantoms has real human bones with simulated tissue surrounding it. The program also has an 840 Puritan Bennett ventilator and Servo I ventilator to help students prepare to work in critical care settings at hospitals.

Nursing students at ECTC use patient simulators which are manikins acting as real patients. Logsdon said the students can set up the simulators with computers based on different scenarios to match the lessons they are studying in class.

“They might have patient X who is a heavy smoker with shortness of breath and complaining about a headache,” Logsdon said. “They’ll control through the control room how that patient responds to what medications they give.”

The simulators actually breathe and have heartbeats.

Among the other technology used in ECTC’s nursing program are bar code scanners for medication administration, skill simulators such as arms for IVs, and a baby simulator that sounds like a real baby.

The maternal newborn nursing class also uses a manikin torso to simulate birth.

“We use a lot of visuals now,” said Dora Thomas, RN, MSN, and practical nursing program coordinator at ECTC. “It’s good to have something they can see and put their

hands on.”

Thomas said the simulators help students understand why the program and industry is so strict.

“Some students have never been in health care so you have to treat them all like they’ve never seen a patient,” said Stephanie Brothers, lab instructor for respiratory care.

Some of the classrooms throughout the health programs are set up like a hospital with real hospital beds, equipment, phones and computers.

“I couldn’t imagine going through this program with out all of (the technology),” said Melanie Forsee, a third semester nursing student. “(Our instructors) are our greatest assets though.”

Aside from technological changes in the industry, there are other general differences in health care programs today.

“It’s not uncommon now to see nontraditional students and men in the program,” Logsdon said.

Nurses also are working more as a team today than before. The nursing students at ECTC have been known to work with respiratory and other health care students in the classrooms.

The one thing that hasn’t changed over time? The patients.

“The emphasis is still on the patient,” Logsdon said. “There’s always the emphasis on the patient and the patient’s needs instead of a person or just an arm or leg to X-ray ... People who are sick are at their worst, it doesn’t matter who they are. You’ve got to understand that and be able to work with patients with compassion and understanding.”
