    • Congratulations to members of the @calpolywindpower team, Wind Power Design, for being one of 13 teams invited to the 2021 Collegiate Wind Competition, an event sponsored by the U.S. Department @energy. The competition challenges teams to design and build a model wind turbine while preparing students to enter the wind energy workforce. In the upcoming school year, the team plans to continue building and testing small turbines to create the best design for the competition. Learn more at the link in our bio.
    • Last spring, a team of Cal Poly engineering students, including Sahil Sharma, Ally Sigdestad and Cale Foreman, teamed up with a Cal Poly Pomona engineer for a joint project. After hearing that a fellow Cal Poly Pomona engineer lost his thumb in an industrial accident, mechanical engineering student Andrew Emmert reached out to Sharma. Motivated to improve the patient’s quality of life through engineering, the duo made the prosthetic thumb as a joint senior project they hope will serve as a bridge until the patient receives a professional prosthetic.
    • Cal Poly is one of eight schools selected by #NASA to help develop small satellite technologies. The small satellite missions will serve as a precursor to future missions returning humans to the moon. Cal Poly is also preparing three mini satellites — or CubeSats —to be launched into space. Here software engineering major Bailey Wickham works with ExoCube, one of the three. #cubesats #spaceexploration #calpoly #polysat
