STUDENT WORK

Our students work on a variety of projects with the sole goal to instill in them an ability to solve diverse problems. From personal projects to community projects, students are gaining skills for tomorrow.

Working with leading industries throughout the valley, we develop a program of work that is relevant to the skills employers need now.

These students also offer educational opportunities for those interested in learning this technology.
