Engineering Faculty

Meet Cait Cramer, our engineering faculty.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering for Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2012 and moved to Phoenix, AZ to work at Intel as a Process Engineer & then as a Quality Engineer. In 2014, I returned to school to study Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. After earning my Masters in Science, I spent nearly 5 years at Ivy Tech Community College in Fort Wayne, Indiana teaching a broad selection of courses in Math, Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Industrial Technology and Design. In the fall of 2022, I returned to the Pacific Northwest to teach at Highline College.

My goal when teaching is to help students learn the skills and tools of an engineer while also gaining a deeper understanding of both the industry they hope to work in and the world around them. A successful engineer needs to be able to communicate and collaborate on diverse teams and the engineering classroom at Highline will reflect that diversity. Our differences provide us with opportunities to learn new things, share experiences, test our assertions, reshape our perspectives, and find the best solution possible to complex problems. My aim is to foster an environment conducive to learning, where students are engaged, encouraged to learn, and feel safe collaborating and making mistakes.

Whether you’re a current student, prospective student or community member, my door is always open! For my office hours, please see: Cait Cramer | Highline College
