Download Document WHITEPAPER: FUTURE TECH at College of Eastern Idaho: Eastern Idaho's Center for Energy, Environment, and Technical Innovation OVERVIEW OF FUTURE TECH: The following proposal describes the creation of Future Tech: An 80,000-100,000 sq. ft. building on the campus of the College of Eastern Idaho for the purpose of advancing workforce and education capabilities in energy, environment and technology in Idaho. The estimated cost of the building is $30-36 million. Future Tech will be recognized for its focus on the region and the vast opportunities for study and application of energy resources and efficiencies, sustainability practices and requirements, and innovative application of technology to the workplace. This will be done in a two-fold manner; first using a LEED focused building as a learning laboratory with ample and flexible space. Second, as the “College of the Future” with new and innovative practices applied to the delivery of traditional degrees, technical retraining of the workforce, and use of applied research targeted at the mission of a two-year college. CEI’s mission is to improve the “go-on” rate as well as establish a pipeline of people to meet, or exceed, the state’s 60% goal for certificates or degrees. CEI does not have a building capable of serving the future demands and needs of the highly sophisticated energy, sustainable design, and technology jobs of today and tomorrow. CEI will capitalize on the purpose and use of this building in collaboration with the region’s great institutions that conceptualize advances in energy, environment, and technology. Future Tech will have a focus on training in the practical application of the region’s existing energy resources as well as being prepared for the yet unknown, but rapidly advancing, uses of technologies. FUTURE TECH’S CONTRIBUTION TO IDAHO: • Trained technical workforce through AAS or industry recognized certificates. • Academically and practically prepared transfer students to universities through AA and AS degrees. • Flexible, state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and innovative curriculum made real by motivated students who provide “proof of concept” to industry on new or emerging technologies. • High demand, industry recognized, certifications for business and industry through high-level partnerships with training providers. • Applied research, focusing on Idaho’s goal to be a “thought leader” in enhancing the region’s path to becoming a significant and innovative technology corridor. • Opportunity for the technical workforce to advance into supervisory and managerial roles through an Applied Baccalaureate. • Teaching and learning space capable of inspiring K-12 students into STEM careers. • A center for synergy and collaboration to engage the business needs and the region’s entrepreneurial culture. FUTURE TECH LEADING THE NATION IN EDUCATION INNOVATION: • Innovative use of instructional technology and learning principles: o Use of CEI’s access to IRON (Idaho Regional Optical Network) for high speed fiber connectivity and distributed learning o Customized workforce training principles applied to employer needs o Emphasis on experiential learning and hands on application on campus and at an employers workplace o Use of internships, co-ops, and apprenticeships to add real life experience to classroom concepts • Application of emerging techniques of competency-based learning, credit for prior learning, demonstrated skills and a spirit of collaboration in the region. • The building will employ sustainability practices and LEED concepts embedded, thereby providing a functioning laboratory for energy technical training. • Collaborative partnership space for the region’s educational institutions, businesses, industries and entrepreneurs and the community at large. • Speed to competency for associate degrees and certificates. • State-of-the-art lecture and teaching space. 1 College of Eastern Idaho November 2020 CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION REQUEST: College of Eastern Idaho is seeking $30-36 million aimed at the creation of an additional academic building on the existing CEI campus that will support the extended mission of academic transfer of students into university bachelors, workforce training for regional employers, and STEM emphasis in partnership with area high schools. College of Eastern Idaho is the only community college in Idaho that does not have this type of facility aimed at career technical education, Applied Baccalaureate and AA/AS enhanced studies. College of Eastern Idaho serves a unique purpose in the region and plays a pivotal role in developing a talent pipeline between educational institutions in the region and industry partners including high-tech employers. A continued focus on industry partnerships will help create a talent pipeline within the workforce, encouraging workers to seek out skill enhancement and job-related development. Idaho National Laboratory will provide an anchor industry, with the intention of including many other industry partners including the navy, Idaho Cleanup Project, Homeland Security, Department of Interior, City and County, energy utilities, and IT firms. Future Tech will address Idaho’s K-12 educator shortage. As a localized training center it would provide a convenient, cost effective, and vital opportunity for local teachers to develop and enhance needed skills to affect the quality of education and the “go-on” rate in eastern Idaho. Further, CEI has established itself as a partner to K-12 districts and charter schools dedicated to STEM education. A dedicated training facility would help enhance existing STEM focused initiatives including programs through the local Department of Labor and internal programs. CRITERIA FOR DEVEOPMENT OF NEW AND EXPANDING EXISTING PROGRAMS: To ensure industry as well as legislative support for the development of new, and the expansion of existing, programs CEI considers the following criteria: regional job demand, certification requirement for employment, regional current and forecast wages (targeting toward a livable family median income). A new state-of-the-art Energy and Technology Building on the CEI campus would directly support the following existing and potential program development and training opportunities: • Cyber Security Technical Training – enhance an Associate of Applied Science Degree • Agri-Business – Associate of Science Degree • Engineering Associate of Science Degree with pathways to transfer seamlessly to University of Idaho, Idaho State University and Boise State University • Nuclear Operator, Nuclear Technician - Associate of Applied Science Degree • Energy Systems Technology - Associate of Applied Science Degree • Battery technician • Solar technician • Software Training and a new Associate of Science Degree in Software • Education programing and a new Associate of Science in K-12 Education • Applied Baccalaureate in supervision designed for technical professionals • Sustainability Design and Construction (Fire management, LEED design and construction, recycling and materials reuse, drafting, lighting design and efficiency.) Importantly, Future Tech’s innovation in layout, as well as curricula, will be designed and implemented to pivot easily to serve future, yet unknown, energy and technology opportunities, such as artificial intelligence incorporated in advanced manufacturing. In conclusion, Future Tech at College of Eastern Idaho: Eastern Idaho's Center for Energy, Environment, and Technical Innovation will promote learning, collaboration and innovation. It will be a critical component to Eastern Idaho’s path to becoming an innovation corridor not only for Idaho, but for the nation. 2 College of Eastern Idaho November 2020 FUTURE TECH PROGRAM SUMMARY: Project Assumptions REVISED July 2020 $24-30M Project Cost The information below is a compilation of the programs already being offered at CEI with projected increases. There ITEMS ADDED TO PROGRAM 80,000 - 100,000 GSF are a number of areas in both energy and technology that will be forthcoming. At this time NOTED IN BOLD BLUE TEXT at least 65% of jobs in this area are not known due to the pace of technology. This region is anticipating being the center for SMRs (small modular reactors) as well as mini reactors in addition to the Cleanup Project PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS: 55% GROSSING FACTOR FOR LABS and Naval Reactors. This will drive additional curriculum, student enrollment and of course the number of jobs. These 62.5% GROSSIN FACTOR FOR CLASS/ADMIN jobs will be in construction of facilities and the operation of facilities. In addition, it is anticipated that INL, Fluor, and the Navy $300/SF COST MODEL will drive additional curriculum, student enrollment and of course the number of jobs. INL will also be looking to build one or more additional test reactors. All of these jobs drive support industries and entrepreneurs inventing new technologies. Space Factors: Class Room 1.5 Further, given the space constraints of the Wasatch Front (Salt Lake City) Idaho Falls has the capability Office (General) 1.79 to attract companies' expansions to this region with the offering of an excellent employee pipeline; the Teaching Lab 1.69 result of state-of-the art, hands on, technician training at CEI.

  • Crop Profile for Wheat in Idaho
    Crop Profile for Wheat in Idaho Prepared February 7, 2000 General Production Information ● In 1998, Idaho ranked ninth in U.S. production of all wheat, eighth in winter wheat production, and fifth in all other spring wheat production. ● Wheat ranked fourth in Idaho's total cash receipts from farm markets. ● Idaho wheat ranked third in the U.S. in yield per acre. ● Cash receipts from Idaho wheat were estimated at $271,000,000 with an export value of $213,000,000. ● Idaho produced 102,000,000 bushels of wheat on 1,500,000 harvested acres. ● Production costs averaged $210 per acre in northern Idaho and $220 per acre in southern Idaho. ● Idaho all-wheat production regions: ❍ Northern Idaho - 410,000 harvested acres. ❍ Eastern Idaho - 689,000 harvested acres. ❍ Southcentral Idaho - 284,000 harvested acres. ❍ Southwestern Idaho - 117,000 harvested acres. Cultural Practices Soft white winter and soft white spring wheat are the predominant small grains grown in Idaho, and comprise about 80% of Idaho's total wheat production. Hard red spring (12%) and hard red winter wheat (12%) account for the remaining small grain crops. Exports are the single most important market for The Crop Profile/PMSP database, including this document, is supported by USDA NIFA. Idaho and Pacific Northwest soft white wheat. A small percentage is used domestically for seed, pastry flour and oriental noodles. Soft white wheat has a soft texture and low protein content. These traits make it undesirable for bread flour but desirable for pastries and other baked goods. Thus, Idaho=s soft white wheat has a separate export market relative to the red wheats.
