Baja SAE International
The Baja SAE competition is a design project that was created to simulate real-world engineering problems and the challenges that arise from building such a vehicle. Each team is competing to have its design accepted for manufacture by a fictitious company. The students function as a team to promote, design, build, test and race these vehicles within the scope of the rules provided by SAE. The goal is to design and build a prototype four wheel single seat offroad vehicle intended for sale to the public. At the yearly SAE Baja events, the students compete in both static and dynamic events. The static events consist of engineering design, safety and cost presentations. The dynamic events consist of an acceleration top speed braking event, a maneuverability event, a hill climb event, and finally a 4-hour endurance race pitting all the vehicles against each other on an extremely rough off road course. The Briggs & Stratton Corporation generously donates a 10HP OHV engine to participating schools for this competition. There are no modifications allowed to the engine, leaving the students to focus their design skills on the chassis, suspension and all other aspects of vehicle design.
This international event is held yearly in South Africa, Brazil, Korea, India, and three north American events in the United States.

The Cal Poly Pomona Solar Boat team is an undergraduate engineering organization dedicated to the promotion and use of solar energy. The Team researches, designs, and engineers all aspects of a solar-electric boat and compete yearly in Solar Splash, the world championship of intercollegiate solar boating.
The Cal Poly Pomona solar boat hull has recently been built of a carbon fiber composite with a honeycomb structure, making it extremely light and strong. This is a technique used to construct Olympic racing canoes.
The team is part of the Alternative Vehicle Club and has participated in Solar Splash since 2001. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Power Electronics Society, an international technical organization, sponsors the annual competition.

The concrete canoe team competes early at the Pacific Southwest Conference of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Students design and fabricate a concrete canoe to comply with specific competition rules. The project takes one full academic year and culminates with the construction and testing of the concrete canoe in the regional competition. The Cal Poly Pomona team has been consistently placing in the top two places in the regional competition, and in the top eight in the Nationals.
The team has to design and construct a concrete canoe that meets all the competition requirements for dimensions and weight, and is classified in terms of its innovative structure and fabrication methods, materials mixing, technical paper, aesthetics, and speed.

Student Manufacturing ChallengeSociety of Manufacturing Engineers
The Student Manufacturing Challenge is a national level competition sponsored by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. It is held every year in their WESTEC or AeroDEF shows in Southern California. The competition consists of each school team designing a project and executing it from scratch every year. Sample projects over the years include a bicycle ambulance, 3D printers, CNC routers, solar water purifiers, etc.
The students have to come up with a concept and develop it within one year. The judging emphasizes teamwork and effectiveness of the team in successfully completing their project. Thus, the difficulty of the project, proper design and manufacturing documentation, quality of design, execution of prototype manufacture, cost estimation, etc. are judged.
The Cal Poly Pomona teams are typically multidisciplinary and have incorporated students in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, and Aerospace Engineering as well as multiple branches of Engineering Technology.

Helicopter Main Rotor Noise Reductionby Use of Leading-Edge Serrations
A new kind of helicopter main rotor was designed and fabricated with straight trailing edge, but with serrations along the leading edge, as shown. A baseline rotor with the same airfoil but with conventional straight leading and trailing edges (CS) was also designed and fabricated. Both rotors were designed by the use of MATLAB and SolidWorks, analyzed by the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and fabricated by the use of a 3-D Printer (a rapid prototyping machine). To assure blade structural integrity, one blade from the SLE rotor was statically tested to failure.
Noise measurements were made and a microphone array was used to measure the radiated noise. A Rotomotion SR-100 Radio Controlled helicopter was used to drive the rotors at various RPMs and collective pitch. Measured data showed that the SLE rotor, on average, had about 5 dB lower radiated noise. This is very promising and warrants further study.

Aeroelastic Wing Senior Project
The primary objective of the Aeroelastic Wing project was to experimentally demonstrate that by using active twist control of a flexible wing, aircraft cruise drag at multiple speeds and altitudes can be minimized. Current transport aircraft
- -wise angle of attack distribution that will minimize drag only at one cruise altitude and speed. Flying at other altitudes will increase drag due to non-optimal wing twist. Reducing drag can save significant money on fuel, estimated to be approximately $1 million a year on one commercial transport aircraft.
The flexible wing is actively twisted into the minimum drag shape by deflecting the wing trailing edge and leading edge control surfaces that produce aerodynamic moments in the twist direction. The chosen wing design represented a passenger type transport aircraft scaled down to a 30 inch semi-span model to fit into the Cal Poly Pomona Low-Speed Wind Tunnel. The scaled bending and torsion stiffness's were used to design and construct a flexible graphite/epoxy wing model. The wind tunnel test showed data trends that support the concept that the wing could be twisted into the minimum drag shape using various control surface deflections, thus supporting the concept of minimizing drag and saving fuel at multiple cruise altitudes.

Student Unmanned Aerial Systems CompetitionAssociation for Unmanned Vehicles International
The Student Unmanned Aerial Systems (SUAS) Competition organized by Association for Unmanned Vehicles International (AUVSI) is held in Webster Field, Maryland every year in the month of June.
Since 2010, Cal Poly Pomona students have been regularly participating in the competition, which requires an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to identify shape, color, and location of simulated targets on the ground while flying autonomously. The camera onboard the UAV takes pictures of the simulated targets on the ground. The pictures are then sent to the ground computer. The image processing algorithm on the ground computer determines the target location, shape, size, and color. Alternatively, the images may be processed onboard.
The student team for this highly interdisciplinary project includes students from Aerospace Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Computer Science Departments.

One year the aircraft were required to carry anywhere from one to nine softball, the quantity determined by draw just before flight. The aircraft are flown over a closed course, and the total distance flown during a fixed time is a performance parameter. In addition, the teams are judged by how rapidly they can assemble and load their aircraft and have it ready to carry out its mission. There are also restrictions on the distance available to take off and land the aircraft.
A yearly competition is held in Kansas or Arizona, where 60-

University Student LaunchInitiative International
The University Student Launch Initiative (USLI) is a NASA-sponsored international competition and design project that addresses all aspects of developing a rocket-powered vehicle. Each team is required to design a launch vehicle that will carry a scientific payload to a specified altitude. The team participates in numerous design reviews with NASA personnel, including preliminary and critical design reviews, and a flight-readiness
as well as meeting the performance requirements.
This project requires the students to satisfy performance and safety requirements while at the same time staying within a fixed budget. The teams are scored by their oral presentation performance, written reports and submissions, and flight performance.
After carrying out the reviews remotely by telephone, NASA holds the conclusion of the event (flight competition and public viewing of all the projects together) each year at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
