About

Jonathan Zubarriain is an educator and researcher dedicated to advancing pre-college engineering education, with a particular focus on integrating robotics and STEM initiatives into programs designed for high school students. His work centers on developing innovative curriculum and hands-on learning experiences that prepare young learners for careers in engineering and technology. Zubarriain's most notable contributions stem from his involvement with Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology, where he helped design and implement intensive summer pre-engineering programs. His 2015 paper, "Integrating Robotics Education in Pre-College Engineering Programs," which has garnered 5 citations, highlights a five-week initiative that immersed high school students in robotics and mechanics, equipping them with foundational skills to pursue engineering degrees. Complementing this work, his research on developing original courseware for introductory robotics courses underscores his commitment to creating structured, accessible pathways into STEM fields. Zubarriain's scholarship reflects a broader mission: keeping students competitive in an increasingly technology-driven global economy. Through thoughtful curriculum design and experiential learning frameworks, his work serves as a valuable resource for educators seeking to inspire the next generation of engineers.
