🚀 On the 22nd of September, 2024, the Rocket Powered Lander Project, became the first team in CPP College of Engineering history to implement an active controller during a static fire of a rocket engine. Over the twenty-five second test, the team was able to dynamically control the thrust and throttle between different target thrusts within a 5% margin. To add to this feat, they have also become the first student team of any school or university to design and test a liquid augmented solid rocket motor — an entirely new class of rocket engine.
Learn by doing at Cal Poly Pomona is taken to new horizons each year, as CPP students push the boundaries of technologies in hands on projects like no other university. The Rocket Powered Lander project is a fantastic example of this mantra amongst the many other opportunities at this university to get industry respected experience that will land you your dream job 🙌🏻

🎉Celebrating our graduating Class of 2026🎉
Thank you, Professor Eduardo Corpuz, for sending our graduates off with such an inspiring speech on mindfulness and giving back to our community. 🌎
To our graduates, your hard work and dedication have truly paid off. It has been a privilege to watch you grow and succeed during your time at Cal Poly Pomona and within MEP-WiSE. We were honored to celebrate this milestone with you at the Graduation Banquet.🎓
💛💚We also extend our sincere gratitude to our faculty, staff, donors, and supporters for making moments like this possible. The students pictured represent just a few of the many lives your continued support impacts.
💚💛
Please join us in celebrating our graduates and continue supporting Cal Poly Pomona’s Maximizing Engineering Potential (MEP) and Cal Poly Pomona’s Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) as we empower and develop the next generation of leaders.
“It doesn’t stop at Commencement. I’m still going to be learning for years to come.”
Soon-to-be @cppengineering graduate Justin Mills is set to cross the commencement stage this weekend with more than a degree. He’s already launched his career with @beaumontgov , where he’ll begin full-time after graduation.
During his time at CPP, Mills built an impressive legacy:
🎓 He earned multiple engineering internships
🎓 Served as an Iana Williams President’s Scholar and Donald G. Wells Memorial Endowed Scholarship recipient
🎓 Joined the Kellogg Honors College
🎓 Got plugged into campus community through American Society of Civil Engineers Construction Engineering Management Association, the BRIC, and the Native American Student Center
🎓 Leveraged CPP’s powerful alumni network to open doors and create opportunities
