Ed,
That's a very interesting proposal. I understood many of the points you were making. However, as an engineer, not an educator, I'm trying to make sense of some of the conclusions and recommendations.

It appears you are essentially cultivating secondary school teachers with similar technical skills to those in higher education at a community college. Do you hope to do this in every high school or at least every district?

As a student in this system, would I earn a high school diploma plus some type of certificate or associates degree? Or am I earning credits for higher education?

The list of 42 courses has everything from engineering foundations plus items like 4 very specific energy courses. It seems like there are courses beyond the benefit of providing a students chance to explore STEM careers. How was this list determined?
