Last month Cal State Long Beach held its annual Student Research Competition, and three students from the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering program placed first and second in the engineering and computer science category.
According to the CSULB Web site, Christopher Bostwick and Andrea Smith won first place for designing a rocket engine for "increased engine performance."
David Stout won second place for his CubeSat-class satellite, Hawksat-1. According to a Cal Poly CubeSat site, a CubeSat satellite is a 10 cm cube that can be launched, using a deployment device, to conduct space research.
The competition was held Feb. 28, with 48 students in eight categories. The California State University Student Research Competition will be held May 1 and 2 at CSULA. Last year, 10 of 40 CSU students who participated in the competition represented CSULB, according to the CSULB Web site.
