For 25 of the 37 odd years working for Boise Cascade, I taught on a part-time basis. It started
in
1982 with an Electrical Engineering "Circuits" class at Rainy River Community College.
I taught this class on an on-going basis, as needed.
I also taught an introductory Physics class for non-engineers at RRCC.
Currently,
spring 2011, I am teaching ELEC 1105 at Rainy
River Community College. In
2008, I taught Electrical Systems in
Industry, ELEC 1100.
The last six years of my BC career
taught the Boise Electrical and Instrumentation classes for apprentices. All 18 of
those apprentices enrolled in those classes became journeyman in their respective crafts.
All those students who required the license have passed the Minnesota Class 'A' Journeyman's Electrical Test. Several
went on to pass the Master's exam. One of the women in this group was the first to pass the Master's exam and became the 10th woman in Minnesota to do so.
To maintain either of the two licenses mentioned, it is required that the licensee complete 16 hours of approved continuing education technical training every two years. I
teach these classes yearly through Rainy River Community College.
I
am a certified National Electric Code instructor in the
following states:
