Bismarck State College's Energy Technology Department needs your help in procuring equipment that will be used to demonstrate the most recent advancements in the industry to our students.

In the past, vendors and companies have supplied BSC with items that they no longer use for their booths and presentations. Instead of discarding these items, please put them to good use by donating them to BSC for instructional use. Cut-a-ways of equipment are preferred to give students an idea of how items in the industry are designed and operated.
