|
|
|
For eight Penn Wood High School seniors, graduation was a two-prong event.
While completing their high school curriculum, the students were dually enrolled in the Applied Engineering Technology “Fast Track” Program at Delaware County Community College. The project, sponsored in conjunction with Sunoco, Inc. with additional financial support from the Delaware Valley Industrial Resource Center (DVIRC), provided basic foundation instruction in process technology. Prior to receiving their diplomas, Moulangerie Brown, Tempest Byrd, Roger Chambers, Kadiatu Charm, Devon Glen, Kebeh Harris, Fatima Kaba and Calah Scott were awarded Delaware County Community College Certificates of Competency and job offers at the Marcus Hook refinery.

EAST STROUDSBURG — Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., on Wednesday made his first visit to the Poconos as a sitting senator to announce that he is pushing to get East Stroudsburg University $250,000 for its cyber crime-busting programs. The money for ESU — the first requested by Casey alone for a public university — is not yet a sure thing.
The measure granting the money was approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee, but still needs to be ratified by the full Senate, the House-Senate conference committee and approved by the president before reaching ESU.

Delaware County Community College Partners with Drexel Univ. to Offer Applied Engineering Degree |
|

August 9, 2007
A partnership between Delaware County Community College (DCCC) and Drexel University allows students to earn both an associate degree in applied science from DCCC and a bachelor of science in applied engineering technology from Drexel at the same time. The program was developed in response to a regional shortage of entry-level workers with the skills needed by local manufacturing companies. The initiative is the latest effort by DCCC to address the skills set needed in the workplace.
In addition to the Drexel Dual Enrollment Program, the Department of Applied Engineering Technology in the Division of Technical Education has signed articulation agreements with other areas four-year institutions, including Penn State University, Widener University and California University of Pennsylvania. These are fully articulated programs that require the student to achieve the associate degree first and then move on to the University of their choice.
