Professor’s Device Could Provide Light to Millions Living in the Dark
An electrical engineering professor said his soon-to-be patented device could provide light to the more than 1.6 billion people living far off the grid. The Multiple Input Single Output DC-DC Converter with Equal Load Sharing on Multiple Inputs — or MISO — makes it possible to combine the input of multiple low-power electricity sources into one stronger output source. It was developed by Professor Taufik and former student Owen Jong, who earned an electrical engineering bachelor’s degree in 2012. Taufik has one name, which is common in his native Indonesia, where much of the population lives on remote islands with limited electricity. “MISO allows any type of low-power energy device — solar, wind, water in a stream, even human-powered generators like a bicycle — to be connected to one house,” Taufik said. “It’s collecting multiple little sources of energy into one bigger source. In the developing world, a little electricity goes a long way. Just keeping a light on at night is huge.” The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently notified Taufik that the patent would be awarded for MISO this fall. Read the news release.
Cal Poly’s Efforts Help Planetary Society’s LightSail 2 'Sail on Sunbeams,' Reaching a Milestone
The man who co-created CubeSats at Cal Poly said he’s proud to see the Planetary Society take his technology to new heights with solar sails. “It is a huge score for CubeSats and for the team at Cal Poly,” said Jordi Puig-Suari, a retired Cal Poly aerospace engineering professor. “It is the beginning of a new way to travel in space.” The Planetary Society’s LightSail 2 — a CubeSat, or miniature satellite — was prepared with student assistance at the College of Engineering, which also acted as mission control last week during the deployment of the CubeSat’s Mylar sail. On Aug. 1, the Planetary Society announced that LightSail 2 had successfully raised its orbit in space solely on solar power. Puig-Suari proposed the CubeSat with Stanford University Professor Bob Twiggs in 1999 as a way for students to create spacecraft. LightSail 2 is roughly the size of a loaf of bread. That’s still large enough to carry an 18-foot sail. Once that sail was deployed, navigation was performed autonomously with an on-board algorithm, and LightSail was propelled by photons from the sun. Previously, spacecraft had to travel with fuel — which eventually runs out, noted Bill Nye, the Planetary Society’s CEO. Solar powered spacecraft can continue much longer, paving the way for traveling much further. “For me it’s very romantic that you’d be sailing on sunbeams,” Nye said. Read the news release.

Cal Poly’s College of Engineering Ranks Among Nation’s Best in Diversity and Inclusion Efforts
The College of Engineering was recognized recently by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) as a national leader in inclusive excellence. The ASEE, a nonprofit association dedicated to promoting and improving engineering and engineering education, launched the National Diversity Recognition Program in April with the support of over 200 engineering schools and colleges. After reviewing Cal Poly’s application, an ASEE committee rated Cal Poly at the Bronze level, the highest ranking issued during the first round of ratings. “This award affirms and recognizes the many efforts we have undertaken to be more inclusive,” said College of Engineering Dean Amy S. Fleischer. “At the same time, we will continue to take more steps to improve diversity, inclusion and equity. By creating an inclusive and diverse community, we will foster a diversity of ideas that will fuel great innovation.” The rating was the first national effort to publicly recognize institutions for their success in building a diverse workforce.

Cal Poly Breaks Ground on State-of-the-Art Beach Volleyball Complex
The beach volleyball program made history in 2019 by making its first NCAA championship. Recently, more history was made as the university broke ground on a beach volleyball complex on campus. The Mustang Beach Volleyball Complex will feature five regulation-size NCAA beach volleyball courts, seating for up to 250 spectators, a state-of-the-art LED video scoreboard that will be positioned on the south side of Mott Athletics Center, lights around the facility, and an outdoor shower. “We are delighted that with the leadership of our loyal Mustang supporters, we are able to begin construction on what we believe will be one of the finest on-campus facilities in the country,” Director of Athletics Don Oberhelman said. “This will help Coach Todd Rogers continue to recruit and develop some of the best beach volleyball student-athletes in the country and further cement our position as a top 10 Division I program.” Since the inception of the program in 2014, the team has played its home matches in Pismo Beach — about 10 miles away from campus. This new 35,000 square-foot complex will be located between Mott Athletics Center and Mustang Tennis Complex, next to Anderson Aquatic Center. The beach volleyball complex will replace the outdoor basketball courts. Learn more here.
Cal Poly to Bring Learn by Doing to Global Hacker Convention
Cal Poly's California Cybersecurity Institute (CCI) and global healthcare company Abbott will bring a hands-on experience to this year’s Biohacking Village at DEF CON, one of the world’s largest hacker conventions, Aug. 8-11 in Las Vegas. With funding and technical support from Abbott, CCI designed an immersive hospital set with separate rooms for radiology and a picture archiving and communication system, a pharmacy, laboratory, surgical room, and patient/ICU/neonatal unit. Conference attendees will be challenged to defend the hospital from a cyberattack through capture the flag exercises that ultimately aim to find solutions to cybersecurity risks in the public healthcare system. “Cal Poly students, faculty and staff are excited to participate in this year’s conference and bring Learn by Doing into an immersive, medical set design that will be featured at one of the world’s premier cyber conferences,” CCI Program Manager Martin Minnich said. Cal Poly students helped to create the set design and a digital comic book-style story that will be handed out to DEF CON attendees who visit the Biohacking Village. Last year, over 5,000 visitors attended the Biohacking Village at DEF CON with interests in security, medical, technology, engineering, devices and fabrication. Read the news release.
Student Success
Student Donations Distributed to SLO County Nonprofit Organizations
University Housing donated more than 8 tons of food, clothing and other goods to San Luis Obispo County nonprofit organizations — items that were collected from residents in student housing during the end-of-school move-out in mid-June. That includes more than 6,600 pounds of prepackaged food that was donated to four nonprofits, according to housing officials. San Luis Obispo Mayor Heidi Harmon assisted students in collection efforts during the second of the five-day move-out collection period, June 11-15. Darin Son, a 2019 environmental engineering graduate, who led a team of dozens of students in a project to reduce the amount of waste generated at the conclusion of the school year, said 15,356 pounds of goods were donated to local nonprofit organizations. Cal Poly students will also be the beneficiaries of the donations. The Cal Poly Food Pantry, which is a resource for students needing food, received 972 pounds of canned and jarred food items. Moreover, Son said she and other students who oversee CP Thrift, the two-year-old campus thrift store initiative, diverted more than 6,000 pounds of reusable items from the landfill specifically for use by incoming first-year and transfer students.

College of Architecture and Environmental Design Students Design Homes for Fire-Damaged City of Weed
Five years after the Boles Fire tore through the Northern California city of Weed, an interdisciplinary team of students have finished an 18-month-long project to design workforce housing. On July 16, a shipping container with 25 pre-constructed exterior wall panels departed Cal Poly bound for Weed, where they will be connected together to create a 1,300-square-foot home that will be used as a model for future homes on a nearly 1-acre site destroyed in the 2014 blaze. “This is a quintessential Learn by Doing project and a phenomenal educational opportunity,” said Cal Poly architecture faculty member Maggie Kirk, who collaborated with architectural engineering and construction management faculty to lead students in the design project. Cal Poly was asked by Great Northern Services, a community-based nonprofit in Weed, to design workforce housing that could be built in panels at Cal Poly, shipped to the city of about 3,000 and erected on-site in collaboration with students from the College of the Siskiyous this fall. Thirty-six Cal Poly architectural engineering, architecture and construction management students began the project in 2017. They visited Weed, surveyed the subdivision at 780 S. Davis Ave., marked out parcels, and began sketching ideas. Teams of students each offered a design for a 6,150-square-foot lot. The teams presented their proposals to Great Northern Services leaders, who chose a winning proposal but were so impressed by the student work that they combined two plans for the final house design, Kirk said. A team of Cal Poly construction management students, led by faculty member Greg Starzyk, built the panels this past spring. Read the news release.
