Meet Pierre-Carlo Ortanez, the latest spotlight from the BEST Center community.
“I have been an HVAC instructor at Riverside City College as an adjunct for two years and as an assistant professor last August. Now it’s almost been one year of being an assistant professor. My connection to the BEST Center started with Mr. Galicia at College of the Desert. He built the building automation classes at Riverside CC. He recommended more training and forwarded Larry Chang’s email and invitation. BEST Center’s support system for the newest technologies has been helpful. BEST Center has created many networking opportunities, and I met instructors pursuing building automation. The most significant impact was the labs, where I got a lot from being in the BEST Center and curriculum support. Discussing the curriculum with other education professionals helped me develop the building control courses better. BEST Center has helped make our labs more fun. I can’t wait for the next BEST Center training.“
