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

I am an avid technology user in both my professional and personal life. Like most of you, I have seen firsthand the transformative effects of evolving technology, developed not just by Apple, but by other hardware and software companies as well. This includes the explosion of offers from the areas of infotainment and social media, which extend over the entire spectrum of benefits, empowerment or liberation from uninteresting, unhelpful, annoying or downright harmful and destructive. That Apple has overlapped, if not fundamentally interacted with, each of these factors is evidence that it is not just a transformative nature of its own, but that it is a key species in this dynamic intersection between technology, industry, education, society and the cultures that define the corporate rules of engagement. This is a rapidly evolving ecosystem that is not just a rich medium for innovation and change, but a true feedback system that requires almost real-time changes to every other compo

NISKAYUNA - There's a lot of talk these days about 5G, the super-fast next-generation wireless network that the cellular industry has been promoting as a game changer for its customers for years. Cellular operators have adopted the new technology - which uses more bandwidth than previous networks, enables faster speeds, and allows larger amounts of data to be transferred - as quickly as possible, and are mostly targeting larger cities across the country first. When GE Research in Niskayuna, the corporate research arm of General Electric Co., recently revealed plans to convert its campus into a test site for 5G, it was a big deal. Not just for GE, but also for its neighbors, "to enable more residents and visitors of Niskayuna to have high-speed wireless access," said the two companies. The 5G test stand from GE Research will also bring the so-called "Band 14" radio spectrum to Niskayuna, which the federal g
