At Pasquini Engineering, Inc., we take pride not only in the work we do throughout California but also in the people who have helped shape our company along the way. One of those people is Ty Newton, a former member of our team whose career has taken an exciting and impactful turn. Today, Ty is a teacher at Arvin High School, where he is leading innovative hands-on programs that are preparing students for the future of technology and sustainable transportation.
Recently, Ty and his students were featured by 23 News for their outstanding work building fully functioning electric vehicles from the ground up. Their achievements demonstrate the power of accessible STEM education and the remarkable influence an educator can have on the next generation.
A Foundation Built At Pasquini Engineering, Inc.
During his time at Pasquini Engineering, Inc., Ty contributed to key projects across our civil and structural engineering departments. His commitment to precision, problem-solving, and continuous learning stood out early on, and it’s no surprise he carried those strengths into the classroom. The practical experience he gained working on real-world engineering plans and solutions is now directly benefiting his students.
At Arvin High School, Ty has transformed complex engineering concepts into engaging, hands-on learning experiences. His goal is to show young people that careers in engineering, architecture, and technical trades are both attainable and rewarding.
Students Build Electric Vehicles From The Ground Up
The program highlighted in the 23 News story features students designing, fabricating, wiring, and assembling electric vehicles entirely from scratch. Under Ty’s guidance, the students are not just following instructions—they are applying engineering principles in real time.
The result is more than just a working electric vehicle. It is a fully immersive engineering experience that teaches students critical thinking, teamwork, mechanical skills, and emerging clean-energy technology. For many of these students, it is also their first exposure to a real-world engineering workflow similar to what Ty once practiced at Pasquini Engineering, Inc.
Empowering Future Engineers In Kern County
Programs like this are essential for communities like Arvin, where career pathways in engineering and technical fields can open doors to long-term growth and stability. Ty’s work is helping students build career confidence while fostering a curiosity about renewable energy, mechanics, and design innovation.
By leading these projects, Ty is giving students a tangible way to explore:
- Engineering and construction trades
- Renewable energy and sustainability
- Automotive technology
- STEM career pathways
- Problem-solving through hands-on experimentation
The electric vehicle program has already inspired many students to pursue technical education after graduation, demonstrating the real impact educators can have on their students’ futures.
A Legacy Of Excellence
At Pasquini Engineering, Inc., we are incredibly proud to see former team members like Ty Newton continue to influence the engineering world in meaningful ways. His dedication to teaching, innovation, and student success reflects the same values we strive to uphold in our professional work every day.
Seeing Ty mentor and empower young engineers reinforces our belief that the future of our industry is bright—and being built right now in classrooms, workshops, and programs just like the one at Arvin High School.
Supporting The Next Generation Of Builders And Problem-Solvers
As a company committed to shaping strong, safe, and resilient communities, we applaud Ty’s leadership and the achievements of his students. Their electric vehicle project is more than a school assignment—it’s a direct reflection of the creativity and potential that will drive the engineering profession forward.
We look forward to seeing what Ty and his students accomplish next and are honored to have played a small part in his professional journey.
