The Summer Institute philosophy is grounded in principles our faculty considers fundamental to the design of higher education in the 21st century:
- that science and engineering have their origins in multiple cultural
traditions which account for their richness and permanence as human
endeavors;
- that access to the social wealth of society lies in education that allows people to generate and interpret a wide range of data from a broad methodological base.

This workshop (and the format used) was like a dream come true! Coupling the materials science side with the archaeological component not only helped me learn a tremendous amount of new information in unfamiliar areas, it also made the familiar more beautiful.
