Poster Competition 2010
Capstone Course Projects Range from Spacecraft Deployment to Medical Devices.
Showcasing the Students' Creativity and Efforts to Address Real-World Challenges.
With faculty and industry leaders as judges, Mechanical Engineering students will compete in teams for top awards in innovation, technical content and marketability among about 30 complex projects. The competition is part of the College of Engineering's capstone courses, geared to challenge the students' ability to apply their knowledge to solve pressing real-world problems.
On June 4, 2010, from 11 am to 3 pm in the Engineering II building courtyard, students will be presenting their projects and posters for the judges, the campus community, and interested representatives of industry and the media.
Special thanks to the following Industry Partners and Research Partners for their gifts in support of the projects and the design program.
The competition is headed by Stephen Laguette, a lecturer at UCSB, a mechanical engineer and a former executive in the medical device industry. He and his team of faculty advisers have helped guide the students through months of design and development of innovative devices for a wide range of industries.
