This is interesting:  Last week, Pennsylvania College of Technology dedicated a drilling rig simulator to train students.  From Penn State News:  "The simulator provides students in ShaleNET’s noncredit, short-term roustabout and floor hand courses with hands-on training opportunities. Plans include making the simulator available to train new short-service employees for private drilling companies. Also under consideration is training of other populations, such as veterans."

It's one of only three nationwide.
