During college, Interim Dean Bob Crockett was a designer and pilot of the 1987 Human Powered Vehicle Club entry. The vehicle’s shell was made from Styrofoam and wrapped in plastic film. #TBT #ThrowbackThursday #polyengineering
What is trenchless technology? Think underground pipe repair and replacement with less disruption above the surface.
At Cal Poly, engineering students and faculty are working to launch a student chapter connected to the North American Society for Trenchless Technology, helping more students discover a field many have never heard of but may want to join.

A shout-out to AngelCon 2026 finalists Everest Medical Solutions and SafePlate Technologies, two teams with Cal Poly engineering graduates involved.
Hosted by Cal Poly CIE’s Small Business Development Center, AngelCon featured six startups from across Central California competing for $100,000+ in equity-backed funding.
Everest Medical Solutions pitched a minimally invasive device designed to address shoulder dystocia, a critical childbirth complication. SafePlate Technologies presented a rapid contaminant testing device for food manufacturing facilities focused on improving quality control.
Both teams earned spots in this year’s finalist pool. Watch the event on demand at the link in our bio.
