Electrical Construction & Maintenance Technology Students Improve Weston Park’s Facility

Tags:

Johnson College’s Electrical Construction & Maintenance Technology’s twenty-four freshmen students scaled the 20 foot ceilings of Weston Park’s facility last week in order to install three fans to improve the airflow in the old building.
Members of the North Scranton Rotary Club contacted Electrical Construction & Maintenance Technology’s Chairperson, Dr. Clair Kenny, to see if the students would be interested in the community service project.

The project was expected to take three weeks to complete, however the students finished the job within three days. The building was inspected and approved by the city inspector of Scranton as it met the codes and standards.

The Rotary Club provided the equipment, supplies, and scaffolding. “We just brought the skills and the manpower,” Kenny said.

Freshman, Jody Schneider from Lake Ariel, said, “[The project] was not sitting in a classroom and talking about it, it was the real deal… hands-on.”

  7. The class, an elective open to mass communication/media studies majors, has space for 50 students and fills up quickly. Students watch monster films and write about what the creatures represent. They also make their own monster films as a final project.
