Area teachers, counselors and K-12 students will explore innovation and design in engineering at the Lyles College of Engineering’s annual Projects Day at 12:30-3:30 p.m. Thursday, May 6, at California State University, Fresno’s Satellite Student Union.
The event is free and open to anyone interested in learning more about innovation and design in engineering and construction management.
Participants will meet Fresno State student designers – mostly seniors and graduate students in the Lyles College – and see demonstrations of projects such as an unmanned aerial vehicle, autonomous robots and solar-powered vehicles.
Other demonstrations include: the Fresno State GPS network, laser detectors, maze-navigating robot, embedded systems controllers, inverted pendulums, designs for a center for the blind, a modern design of the Fresno County Library and an autonomous lawn mower.
“This event promises to be a stellar educational and career event showcasing the comprehensive collection of academic and industrial research and development activities taking place at Fresno State,” said Dr. Michael Jenkins, dean of the Lyles College of Engineering.
The Lyles College is the region’s oldest publicly supported engineering college, offering nationally accredited Bachelor of Science degree programs in civil, computer, electrical, geomatics and mechanical engineering, and construction management. The college also has graduate degree programs in civil engineering and engineering with options in mechanical and electrical engineering.
