BOSCO TECH INSTRUCTOR PRESENTS ABSTRACT 

AT PHYSICS CONFERENCE

ROSEMEAD, CA – May 5, 2016 – An instructor 
and dean at Don Bosco Technical Institute (Bosco 
Tech) presented an abstract at the Southern 
California section of the American Association of 
Physics Teachers (SCAAPT) conference held at 
Cal Tech on April 30.

 Eric Tom, Bosco Tech instructional dean 
for Math, Science and Health, was selected to 
present two labs he developed for the school’s 
Advanced Placement Physics C: Electricity and 
Magnetism class. His presentation, “Faraday 
Effect Demonstrations,” featured methods for 
calculating the strength of magnetic fields and 
a demonstration showing how higher rates of 
magnetic flux change results in higher voltage. 
Tom provided handouts and instructions for 
attending instructors to replicate the experiments.

 “We’re exceptionally proud of Mr. Tom,” said 
Xavier Jimenez, president of Bosco Tech. “He 
consistently seeks new and better ways to present 
complex subjects while challenging students to do 
their very best. He is a prime example of the high caliber of instruction 
at Bosco Tech.”

 Tom has taught Physics and Chemistry at Bosco Tech for nine years. 
He is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University’s biomedical engineering 
program and also holds a master’s degree in bioengineering from the 
University of Pittsburgh. He is the first ever recipient of the American 
Heart Association’s Claude R. Joyner Fellowship as the highest-
scoring applicant in the medical imaging field.

 Celebrating its sixtieth year, Bosco Tech 
is an all-male Catholic high school that combines 
a rigorous college-preparatory program with 
a technology-focused education. With a 100 
percent college acceptance rate each year, more 
than 60 percent of Bosco Tech graduates pursue 
STEM-related majors in their university studies. 
The innovative curriculum allows students to 
exceed university admission requirements while 
completing extensive integrated coursework in 
one of several applied science and engineering 
fields. Visit www.boscotech.edu or call (626) 940-
2000 for more information.

 According to Niche.com, Bosco Tech 
ranks in the top three of all-boys schools in the 
Los Angeles metro area and among the top 100 
all-boys high schools in America. Founded in 
2002 by Carnegie Mellon University students 
as CollegeProwler.com, Niche provides reviews
