Academic discipline
Be present
Be in the room. 90% attendance, minimum. Skill is built where it happens, not in borrowed notes.
Finish what you start
Every assignment in. Every test written. No gaps, no next time.
Aim past the pass mark
We push for 85% and above, not to filter anyone out, but because the world they're training for doesn't grade on a curve.
Live in the labs
Hands on the equipment until competence becomes instinct.
