My Students

I currently have forty students who have enrolled in my Introduction to Engineering course. Some of these students came into the course knowing that they are destined to study engineering in college. Most signed up because they have a knack for designing or constructing things.

Many of my students are first or second generation immigrants from around the world.

Many of them come from low-income families. Before taking my class, engineering was just an idea. Through my course, I hope to inspire students to consider joining the ranks of America's next generation of engineers.

My Project

I teach a hands-on engineering class for high school students. This project seeks to purchase Circuit Scribe kits that I can mail to my students. Students will use these kits to design, build and test circuits.

My students need to continue to have lab experiences while learning at home during this time of national crisis.

This project seeks to purchase safe, hands-on electronics equipment so that my students can continue to build and investigate core electronics concepts while they are at home.

I will use these kits in combination with online PHET simulations to have students learn about series and parallel circuits.
