Engineering Abroad
Dec 11, 2018
With help from polytechnic peers, a group of Cal Poly students had the opportunity to simulate an international engineering team while establishing memorable bonds during a one-of-a-kind study abroad program in China.
Jianbiao John Pan, an Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering professor and faculty leader, led the group of 15 students on a trip to Hangzhou this summer as part of the Engineering in China program, which is designed specifically for engineering students.
“We have many study abroad programs at Cal Poly, however, there are very few for our engineers,” Pan said. “A majority are for general education, language or related programs. I feel that our engineering students need to be exposed to international culture as well as have an international team experience in a multicultural environment.”

An Automated Upgrade
Dec 11, 2018
Brian Hillenbrand, a manufacturing engineering student, demonstrates how the new Haas CNC machines work.
A fleet of newly purchased Haas CNC machines will help teach engineering students how mechanical parts are designed, manufactured, and inspected -- better preparing them for their future careers -- said Trian Georgeou, a lecturer in the Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering department. Meanwhile, a new $40,000 working scholarship will fund student lab technicians, complimenting Cal Poly’s Learn by Doing approach with an Earn by Doing incentive.
The additions, Georgeou said, mark the completion of the first phase in a three-phase upgrade to the IME Material Removal labs.

Up to the Challenge
Dec 11, 2018
Cal Poly graduate, established the QL+ program at his alma mater in 2009.
In an empty classroom on the third floor of Building 192, Jon Monett sits in front of a camera, artificial light illuminating his face, as he clutches his script. After a final take – Monett improvising much of it -- a filming crew wraps up and prepares for the next assignment.
“They’re making a 2-minute promo of the challengers of the class of 2019,” Monett explains.
That class will consist of 25 new individuals, including wounded veterans, who all have physical challenges they will ask students to address. Cal Poly will tackle the most challenges – up to eight – while the rest will go to other schools that have a Quality of Life Plus lab.
