    Students document their visit to a regional powerhouse.Students' potential future looms large around themThe class is afforded rare access to the inner workings.An informative plant tour moves outside.Onsite power generation students had an opportunity to tour one of IMG Energy Solutions plants in October, traveling to the Alpaca Energy site in Bradford County: a 20-megawatt facility that houses three Rolls-Royce power plants. "These units each have a Bergen engine that is powered on natural gas from a local pipeline," explained John D. Motto, instructor of diesel equipment technology at Penn College. "Students were able to gain valuable insights on maintenance and operation – not only of gaseous-fueled engines but of the power plant, as well." Christopher Clary, IMG's manager of operations for northeastern Pennsylvania, gave the tour. IMG Energy is a partner of Penn College, hiring a number of students for internships and many alumni who have gone to work full time for IMG. "This was a great opportunity for the power generation students to see what they will be working with when they graduate," added Motto (who also provided the photos).
