Generous donation to equipment fleet expands students' options Students gain hands-on learning with Matthew E. Bell, instructor of diesel equipment technology (lower right) When Caterpillar Inc. donated a D6K Dozer to Penn College’s School of Natural Resources Management over the summer, officials said the state-of-the-art track-type tractor soon would find a home among students in the heavy equipment and diesel majors based at the Schneebeli Earth Science Center near Allenwood. It certainly didn’t take long. The cutting-edge technology already is being used this semester, including this class of students in heavy construction equipment technology: Caterpillar equipment emphasis.
