• We equip students with creative engineering problem-solving techniques and fundamental engineering and building skills for balanced exploration of mechanics, construction, manufacturing/production, systems, structures, and electronics.​

• Students explore how things work, how to trouble-shoot problems, and how things can be built and improved using technical and analytical skills that are transferable across disciplines.

• We also help students learn to ask critical questions, use interpersonal skills, conduct problem-based research, activate and apply science and math knowledge, and make informed decisions.

• Student work is evaluated through rubric self-assessment, peer assessment, and teacher assessment during class critiques, projects, individual discussions, exhibitions, observations and technical skill demonstrations.

• Elective options encourage students to explore various topics, techniques and media in semester-long workshop style classes that meet once per week.​

• All courses are grounded in critique, and are designed to help students build deep understandings of how Engineering relates to ​​a variety of disciplines.
