"What really inspired me were the students’ attitudes – their dedication and commitment, their teamwork and leadership, their poise and enthusiasm. I was struck by the realization that these students embody the very values we should be rewarding through our Women’s Fund grants: taking responsibility and seeking excellence."

• Enrolls 32 freshmen per year, from the entire Santa Barbara community, for a total of 128 students.
• Is a four-year integrated course of study in physics, computer science and engineering design.
• Culminates in the design and construction of a robot during the senior year, which competes on the national stage.

The combination of academics, hands-on technical experience and teamwork gives students the competitive edge and true mastery of the skills necessary to enter the workforce and pursue post-secondary education.

The New Facility

The Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy has been awarded a $3 million matching grant from the State of California for the construction of a new 12,000 square foot facility on the Dos Pueblos campus. It will include laboratories furnished with industry-grade machines and electronic instruments, classrooms for computer and design instruciton, and manufacturing space for robot construction and testing. Most importantly, this building will accommodate an expansion to 400 students for the Engineering Academy, substantially broadening its impact.
