• The confidence to debate technical approaches, evaluate tradeoffs, and move beyond scripted instruction.  
• A practical, hands-on orientation and a preference for learning through building, testing, and solving real engineering problems.  
• A commitment to fostering continuous learning, experimentation, and shared technical excellence.
