Industrial Technology
Seventy-four students from high schools in and
around the Cowley County region participated in the 11th Annual Technology
Day held at the college Feb. 16. Students in grades 10-12 rotated through
six of Cowley’s Industrial Technology Department programs: Non-Destructive
Testing, Machine Tool Technology, Welding Technology, Drafting Technology,
Automotive Technology, and Pre-Agriculture. Instructors within those
six programs spoke to students while current Cowley students enrolled
in those programs conducted demonstrations.
Technology Day activities lasted three hours and were held in the Walker Industrial
Technology Building on the main campus in Arkansas City. “It’s a
great way for area high school students to see what we have in the way of technical
programs,” said Bruce Crouse, chairman of Cowley’s IT Department. “We’ve
always say that a prospective student can read about our programs, but we really
encourage them to come to campus and see the facilities and the equipment and
talk with the instructor in person. It’s a pretty valuable day.” Students
were treated to pop and a snack at the conclusion of the day. Door prizes also
were given.
