The team won Best Project this year at the CSUC design expo (May 13th), competing with ~20 other project teams from the program. The team will also present their project this summer in Dallas TX at a national competition for engineering capstone projects.

For the past five years LCLS departments (SED and ME) have sponsored projects with the Mechanical/Mechatronic Engineering departments of CSU Chico for their engineering degree capstone. Each year the collaboration project offers a chance for LCLS to develop prototype concepts, or even to offload a manageable portion of work to a team of 4-5 students and a faculty advisor (for a nominal fee + M&S). More importantly these projects offer us a chance to discover talented candidates that we can hire. If you have an idea for a project, please contact Alex Wallace for details (or if you want help setting up a collaboration with your school). On a final note, this year we are excited to announce that we hired another student from the collaboration project, Mitchell Cabral. He will join ECS as a control system integrator in June.
