Remembering Pat Kraft's Contribution To Portland Community College And Machine Manufacturing


April 9, 2021

Last winter, Portland Community College lost one of its mainstays - Pat Kraft, who passed away.

Kraft was an award-winning mechanical engineering technology instructor and program leader. Since joining PCC in 2003, he has helped develop a popular program incorporating the latest technological advances such as 3D printing machines and various high-speed technologies.

He is known for coordinating the annual FIRST Robotics Camps for students in the area, leading camps for teacher educators, and teaching a portable tech workshop for Latina High School students. In 2014, he received the Oregon State Award for Outstanding Leadership in Professional and Technical Education for his work in educating students, working with schools, educating teachers, and creating pathways to employers for his graduates.

In the early 1960s, mechanical engineering and other professional-technical programs formed the basis of the college when it separated from the Portland Public Schools. At the time, PCC was primarily a vocational and technical education school housed in an old portable structure in the Benson High School parking lot. With the continued work of executives like Kraft, the college's career engineering education programs have grown tremendously since those days to serve thousands of students and work with hundreds of companies.

This press release was produced by Portland Community College. The views expressed here are the author's own.
