"Many of the skills I learned in the engineering academy are helping me succeed at UCR. I already have a resume made for job/career fairs, many of the practices that I did in your class translate very well (time management, group projects, even CAD skills & social skills to work with people) to daily life at college." - Tyler Schubin Class of '25

"The academy has given me opportunities for learning engineering-related principles and learning life skills such as confidence, communication, and discipline."   - Ashik Islam Class of '21

"Mrs.Caplan kept our class close and made us into a family, and I'll always be grateful for that, as well as helping me figure out what I want to pursue as a career." - Leo Juarez Class of '20
