Kassem Al Huiseen, an MHS alumni, made the local news this past summer. (sorry for the late post) He and his classmates at Bergen Community College, have reached a project milestone. They have assembled and tested an electric vehicle drive train. As you may know I am the f actuality adviser on this project and I am very proud of their work.

Having an electric vehicle project at a college is becoming more common as we see STEM programs increase in participation. I would attribute this excitement to the STEM programs being "Hands on" and open to diverse majors. Building projects with their hands gives students a chance to get excited about an engineering career.
Here is a link to the article... (FYI the article was written by an MHS alumni as well!)
