USER AND EQUIPMENT TRAINING

 

Facility Safety Training and Orientation

Each new user entering the facility must attend this training to learn proper procedures for gowning, safety, lab etiquette, and interfacing with the Portal-Lab Management System. 

 

Safety Training is held every Tuesday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Room 186 MRI. 
Contact NNIN at Penn State to schedule. 

 

 

Individual Equipment Training

Trainees must attend a minimum of three successful training sessions for each piece of equipment.  For most, all three sessions will take place within a 2-3 week period.  The exceptions are a few of the more complicated tools (i.e.: ebeam, stepper, Imprio55 imprinter).  Any user not completing all three sessions within the required timeframe may be requested to repeat trainings as deemed necessary.

 

Session One
General Overview – A process engineer will demonstrate the tool and describe the capabilities.  Session may be attended by up to 5 users.

 

Contact NNIN at Penn State to schedule Session One Training

 

Session Two

Basic Principles – The user will operate the tool under the guidance of the process engineer.  This is one-on-one training.

 

 

Contact the process engineer who conducted your first session to schedule session two.

 

Session Three

Competence Testing – The user will operate the tool under the guidance of the process engineer and ask questions regarding operation and fundamental techniques.  This is one-on-one training.

 

 

Contact the process engineer who conducted your first and second sessions to schedule session three.

 

Please sign up for training at least 4 business days prior to scheduled session. 

 

User-requested training for equipment not listed on the weekly training calendar should be scheduled through the process engineer responsible for the equipment.  Contact NNIN at Penn State if you are not sure which staff member to contact directly.
