Current Projects 2025-2026

Where Vision Gets Engineered.
Engineering ingenuity transforms real-world challenges into bold, functional solutions. At Cal State LA’s College of ECST, our brightest minds in engineering, computer science, and technology aren’t just dreaming about the future; they’re building it. From sustainable energy systems to autonomous robotics, the Capstone Senior Design experience is a high-stakes fusion of theory and execution. What begins as an idea becomes a working innovation, ready to be seen, tested, and scaled.
