Liam Murray, one of five senior mechanical engineering majors who built the Artemis Navigating Transporter System in the 2022-23 school year, explains the prototype to SDSU Foundation Council of Trustees member Ryan O’Connor as part of the council’s Oct. 13 meeting on campus. The team placed first nationally in its division of NASA’s Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts – Academic Linkage competition.
Mechanical engineering major Dylan Stephens explains the workings of the Artemis Navigating Transporter System to Michelle McCarville, a member of the SDSU Foundation Council of Trustees. The council learned about Lohr College of Engineering projects as part of its Oct. 13 meeting on campus. The team placed first nationally in its division of NASA’s Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts – Academic Linkage competition.

Girl Scout Event: Believe in Girls
Computer science doctoral student Omeshamisu Anigala (left), and assistant professors Chulwoo Pack (center) and Kwanghee Won (right) represented SDSU at the Believe in Girls STEM education event hosted by Girl Scouts Dakota Horizons in Sioux Falls Oct.14. The event at the Best Western Ramkota drew 511 Girl Scouts and their families.
The team presented an interactive demonstration of a computer vision system that bridges the virtual and real world. The vision system they presented captivated many children and their families. They were asked to move objects in a virtually simulated environment using their actual physical movements, as captured by visual sensors.
Distinguished Engineers Nomination Deadline Nears
Nov. 15 is the deadline for nominations for SDSU Distinguished Engineer to be submitted to Jenny Bickett in the dean’s office.

SDSU Professor Receives DOJ Grant to Help Improve Forensic Science Outcomes
Imagine a stereotypical crime scene, perhaps one from "CSI Miami."A crucial piece of evidence — a bullet, a note, a gun, etc. — is found. Where did it come from? Did it come from the perpetrator? Or did it come from the neighbor across the street? When this happens, forensic examiners must assess the likelihood the evidence came from one, or more, of the possible sources.
