Level I:

• "I've learned beyond technical skills. I've learned career skills and how to be a professional, a front I was quite lost on before."
• "It's helped me see more outside of [high school] and consider college."
• "I have learned a lot about building and how much goes into building a house. I have also learned how to utilize the help of others better."
• "[I'm] able to push myself to try new things."
• "It helped me learn what I want for a job."
• "I have also learned about options after high school and how to make drawings to build stuff and plans and talk to supply stores/price work/talk to customers."

Level II:

• "I have made connections with people I wouldn't have made otherwise. It's made me a better person."
• "A lot of experience in building and growth and working in a team."
• "This class taught me a lot that I can use out on the field."
• "I learned so much that now I [am] able to help my family when needed."
• "I have learned a lot of things, but one of the most important things was how to write proper emails."

• "I've gained new friends, I've learned a lot of new stuff. I've gotten new opportunities to get high-paying jobs than I would regularly get."
• "Friends."
• "Exploring new areas of places we've never been and things that I probably wouldn't have done... it definitely expanded our horizons."

PM Class:

• "I have friends here. I've gotten knowledge from doing welding."
• "I've gotten a lot out of what we did in Natural Resources, since I am going into that next year."
• "The opportunities we've had."
• "I like Mike and how he runs the class. He's different from most teachers - he [connects] more on a personal level, and he feels like a friend."

Introduction to Engineering Design:

• "Mostly, Mr. Nazari has taught us a lot of discipline. He's very nitty-gritty about doing things the right way. If we want to make a project, we can't just build something and do whatever. He makes us write a design brief, and he does a good job of teaching us the actual process of engineering."
• "A few more social skills, including teamwork, and communication. Communication is definitely a big one. I learned a lot of skills I can use in my real life, too[...] I think differently, and I'm more efficient."
• "I've gained 3D modeling skills. I've learned to clean. I've learned to become more of a basic engineer, like with concept sketches. I learned how to build my own website and present my ideas and build off of them and produce designs."

Principles of Engineering:

• "A lot of technical skills for general engineering that I'm going to use in college, probably."
• "Equipping us with skills that we can actively see how they are helpful to us and are going to be helpful in our careers. And we're, in part, doing stuff that we probably might be doing for the rest of our lives. So it's cool being able to do that."
• "It taught me how to think like an engineer."
