Ms. Paulsen

ACE Engineering Teacher

Hi, I am one of the ACE Engineering teachers! I teach the 10th grade class Computer Integrated Manufacturing and the 11th grade elective Principles of Engineering. Both are part of our Project Lead the Way (PLTW) engineering pathway.

I have been a part of the Long Beach Unified School district since I attended CAMS in high school. From there I earned a bachelor's degree in Physics at UC Santa Cruz (go banana slugs!). I earned my teaching credential at CSU Long Beach. I have been a happy Jordan panther now for over 10 years!

10th Grade- Learn about how familiar products are manufactured, as well as lots of programming skills! We learn to program CNC machines, VEX robotics, and robot arms.

11th Grade- Learn all about simple machines, circuits, fluid power, and structures! We apply our knowledge to build compound machines, a hydro or solar powered car, and a balsa wood bridge.
