My students find engineering a fun and challenging field. I have had to create new, higher level courses because of student demand. I am amazed, on a regular basis, with their creativity, critical thinking and imagination. I always feel I learn more from them each semester. They are only limited by our meager resources and their own imaginations. Our school has an 71% free/reduced lunch rate and cannot afford to support many high tech programs. The district budget can only maintain the computers we design on, but cannot fund the next step: 3D printing the ideas students create. Many of my students realize that a career in this field will be their road out of poverty and work hard toward that end. Some students even continue their learning in this and related fields by enrolling in our vocational school's Metal Trades program and go on to obtain scholarships and paid internships in precision machining.
