People

AMM Lecturers

AMM students are primarily drawn from around California but also include out of state and international students.  They are united by an enthusiasm for their subject.  When school is in session and classes are running there is a buzz that permeates through our whole building.  It is the buzz created by students who love what they are doing.

We have a first class faculty team, with qualifications from leading schools, and who are internationally known in their respective fields.  All have hands-on industry experience, are active in the pursuit of new knowledge and are committed to making learning an interactive, challenging and rewarding experience.

Last but not least there are our dedicated staff members who keep us running smoothly, making sure our equipment and labs are maintained and ready, that lost becomes found, and that problems are turned into solutions.
