Stephanie Breuker biography: I am a third-generation engineer with a Bachelor of Science in Civil and Environmental engineering. I practiced as a field engineer with my engineer-in-training certification for several years before having children. Figuring out how things work and the reason why it works that way is second nature to me. I greatly enjoy passing on knowledge to the next generation. I have been homeschooling with my husband's support since 2009.
