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 20 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 6, 2008, 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.
Senior Capstone Projects include:
- robotic systems and sensors
- deployment systems for spacecraft
- medical devices with improved performance
- and teams competing in national competitions
These projects have been supported by gifts from local industry including ATK Space Systems, Northrop Grumman, Medtronic Neurosurgery, Boston Scientific, Conmed Linvatec, Inogen, Helix Medical and BEI Encoders.
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.
