Rosedale Technical College: An Introduction to ScannerDanner’s Alma Mater

[@guymanicone7921]

Wish every community had a place like Rosedale.

Industrial electrician 25 years now electrical designer , started out at Lincoln Tech for auto and diesel as a dumb kid I didn’t stick with it but the Good Lord blessed me with a second chance as a union electrician and I took it and worked my butt off ! It paid off big, best thing I ever did… let me tell you boys and girls, there’s a ton of value in getting up in the morning and going to a job you don’t hate !

[@ScannerDanner]

That job does sound fun! Do you do any low voltage DC stuff like we have on our cars? Any similarities in what we both do? Thank you!

[@danielgeng2306]

@@ScannerDanner yes sir, a lot of PLC designs, mostly 24VDC, 4-20mA, +/- 10VDC. A lot of relay logic as well. I’ve worked in power houses running 4” Conduit to now designing control boxes for research units. It’s been a heck of a career!

[@onemechca]

You can tell that is an awesome college.. Look at what a phenomenal student they made in you Paul and your continuing effort and knowledge to teach others. You are a prime example as to why trades people need to go there.

Hello Scanner Danner! I want to thank you very much on a problem with my 2006 Ford Explorer and its pcm about 1.5 months ago I wrote that it was putting up codes with all 4 O2 sensors and and the EGR valve and also the purge vent valve all at once and the same time!! and you were working a similar case same as mine on the same vehicle! My question was should I get a new PCM, and you answered, that I should replace the PCM, Well that was done yesterday and YES that DID solve the strange problem!!!! No more codes being thrown, and no more check engine light so it will pass NY state inspection now!! I am very happy with the result of your suggestion so MANY THANKS to YOU for pointing me in the right direction with your suggestion to change out the PCM!! I cannot thank you enough sir!!! I am VERY HAPPY!! signed John A Bellas>

[@ScannerDanner]

I had you check the 12v supply circuit first right? To make sure we didn't have a blown fuse common to all of those outputs?

[@johnbellas490]

@@ScannerDanner Yes and I did do that, the fuse was good and had 12 volts leaving it on its output side.

[@markchidester6239]

I highly recommend going through his classes online. He gives you the understanding of how systems work which gives you the ability to diagnose the problem correctly and make the proper repair. If you do, you will not be disappointed . You will have knowledge that you will use the rest of your life.

@@markchidester6239 thank you Mark!

My dad told me at 12 if you get a trade you’ll always eat . I went to a vocational HS where I’m from and I fell in love with automotive at a young age . I left the industry while I was still young but always remained in a technical field and everything I learned always helped me wherever I went . The older I get the more I love my father who was there to guide me when I was a kid . I love your channel you help me bring back so many memories of when I worked at a Benz dealer for several years . Those were great times and I’m still friends with a lot of those guys . As of now I just work on my own vehicles and my parents cars but I still love it .

[@abubakarisadiqueibrahim481]

This is part of my future dream. For someone like me who is a tech guy and considering the fact that we are not doing better in the auto industry in my country Ghana, West Africa. Its my wish for Ghana to have something close to Rosedale institute who's main focus is to bring the best out of youths who are willing to have the technical know how in their field of trade. Anytime I hear you mentioned Rosedale in your video I feel like tears about to roll down. I wish and hope one day my country will see change. One day the narrative will change. Thanks SD for encouraging people like me with your videos it really done me lots of good in my field of work. Though I started as a traditional mechanic but trust me your videos are gradually elevating me to a different status. Am now doing far better than those in the game for over two decades.

[@ScannerDanner]

So much in this comment and to hear at the end that you're doing better than 20 year seasoned techs after following my stuff from Ghana? Wow, that is a testament to you too and your drive to learn. Proud to know you and I'm asking God's providence on this school idea you have. Are you a premium member? If you're not, I'd like to give you access for the next year for free.

I can't believe it's been over 20 years since I started at Rosedale. It's so incredible the way this school has Evolved. Danner I still thank you every day for all the encouragement and knowledge you've passed along to me. I have you and Rosedale to Thanks for the things I have today. It only gets better from here.

good to see I'm an automotive instructor at a technical college in Minnesota retiring here in the fall after 38 years, always good to see former students come back and they're doing well. I tip my hat to you scanner Danner.

Good stuff. I hope that you continue to prosper & expand.

I graduated from Rosedale almost 18 years ago from the Diesel program and was apart of moving the school from Squirrel Hill to Crafton at its current location.

👏👏👏...way to go RTC and SD. I went to Pennco Tech on the eastern side of Pa .because Pittsburg was too far of a drive( 😁😁)but I still feel like I'm in the classroom being a premium member. Thanks for everything you do and god bless. 🙏

[@ScannerDanner]

Thank you for helping me make this all possible!

[@cullenmiller8170]

Awesome place. Thanks for giving us a quick inside. I grew up in Germany and every one I went to school with went on to a multi year apprenticeship to learn a trade. My daughter’s fiancé is a fourth year apprentice plumber and makes well over 100k and has no student loans.

[@ScannerDanner]

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@yandiermtnez5760]

Great school for a large range of specialities, always thinking on the workforce quality and expertise. If some countries could apply what RTC did locally, believe me we were in other circunstances. I am from Cuba and big follower of your work. Perhaps some day I could take one of your courses. Best regards

[@martinrubenstein7943]

Very, very impressive. Clearly, it’s all down to Dennis’ drive and vision.

[@weshawkins7165]

We need more of these types of schools. Good on you for going back and teaching. I know your KZbin channel and book have helped me and I’ve been a tech going on 46 years, constantly learning. My son went to a welding trade school and is now, has been for 12 years, a welder for PG&E’s gas department here in Northern California.

[@ScannerDanner]

Thank you Wes!

[@hammerhead19able]

Niiiiice. What a technical college!!! Thanks.

[@MrFreddywise1]

Sad fact of life that Schools were never given the funding to introduce this kind of skill training back in my high school days, wasn't until I got older and left school that I was lucky enough to get enrolled in several courses to learn woodworking, general trades work ( basic building skills ) but what I really wanted to get into they never had any courses here for a person to do such as mechanical, electrical, electronics, diesel, although in my working career I was lucky to have come across other things I also wanted to do like truck driving, forklift, delivery driver, but I find a person never stops yearning for more knowledge. Keep up the great videos #ScannerDanner aka Paul. cheers from downunder

[@Bluegeek1]

Hey scanner great job as always you suppose maybe you guys could just open the door for old Fellers like me that want to just come and sit in on a class not necessarily get a certificate or earn a living but just to watch and listen learn new stuff that might help us keep our homes running think about it appreciate you brother

[@jkbrown5496]

If people are wondering about the future, I saw this about a year ago from Professor "Missy" Cummings of Duke U, Pratt school of Engineering: "There’s also going to be a huge growth area in the maintenance of any kind of computer system that has underlying AI in it, including robots. I think robot maintenance is going to be one of the biggest growth areas in the next 20 years. We cannot keep all the robots that we have right now working. And we’re not thinking about maintenance in a way that’s streamlined, that can pull from the resources of the typical socioeconomic class that’s doing maintenance now on regular forklifts. We’re going to have to figure out how education needs to change so that we can help people lift themselves up by their bootstraps." She doesn't realize that the auto diagnostics training is preparing these "robot" repairmen today. It's all the same, powers and grounds, inputs and outputs. Right now, outside of being in an industrial job, the most available place to learn to repair computer systems with underlying AI that control physical processes that will be in high demand in the future is learning auto diagnostics.

[@ScannerDanner]

Heck yeah! I agree 100% thank you for sharing!

[@Frank-pv1hp]

Hey Paul, Dennis briefly alluded to bringing ADAS into the curriculum. Do you do any ADAS diagnosis and repair? Our shop has been doing it for a few years now and it's pretty good work. Would love to see you showing some of the cutting edge technology either here or on your pay channel.

[@ScannerDanner]

For sure!

[@ifeoluwaibiyemi6777]

Wow!!! This is lovely. What about someone interested in the programme from Nigeria??

[@ScannerDanner]

If you have a green card then the opportunity is there. I'm pretty sure that is what Dennis said to another out of country viewer.
