Degrees and Certifications:

Advanced Manufacturing (Place Holder) Teacher

 

My goals for all of my classes are to:

  • Help integrate their knowledge across all of the disciplines;
  • Build a habit of intentional thinking by the students;
  • Foster a passion for a lifetime of continuous learning among students;
  • Help them discover and pursue their passion (or at least help them to discover and avoid their disinterests); and,
  • Make sure that the students easily master course materials.

Please make sure to review the Class Rules in the Documents section of this page.  Before working in our lab, all students (along with parent/guardian) must review and sign.  I'll print them out here and you can take them home for their signature.

  • What Do I Need for Class?

    There are a lot of handouts that we use in class that you'll want to save for reference. Most of my students will write their notes on the handouts.

    My suggestions (obviously you can do what works for you) are:

    1. Your chromebook and charger.
    2. Some kind of folder to hold any handouts and a little bit of loose-leaf notebook paper.  I'd recommend some kind of accordion file that can close up and secure the pages, so they don't go everywhere.  Nothing hardcased like for tax documents (I'm trying to train future engineers not CPAs), but you know what I mean.    
    3. Bring something to write with so that you can take notes and turn in assignments, i.e., pen, pencil.  
    4. If you are into highlighting/coloring your notes, feel free to bring that kind of stuff, but it's not a class supply requirement. 

    NOTE: Things that are to be turned in should be Legible, Clean, and in black or blue color.  This is engineering, not art class.  In addition to technical skills, I am trying to teach you professional communication skills.  I am truly happy that you do love your dog and am very impressed with you doodle of them, but it's really not germane to the topic at hand.

  • American College of the Building Arts

    An incredible 4 year college in Charlestown for those who like to work with their hands.  Engineering + Architecture + Craftsman + History + Restoration Budgets = an interesting and fullfilling career.

    I wish this had been available when I was graduating high school.
