In celebration of the 20th anniversary of our engineering & robotics program, we are highlighting some of our alumni who are at various points in their careers, from working in nuclear engineering labs to working on the ocean floor.

On Robotics

“My participation in the SCH robotics program was built through early adoption of LEGO Mindstorm by the CHA Middle School.”

On Robots

“I have extensively used remotely operated and autonomous underwater vehicles to locate and recover objects of interest from the ocean floor down to 20,000 feet while working for the U.S. Navy Supervisor of Salvage of Diving, where I led salvage and other missions around the globe.”
