Greetings!
Summer is here and great things are continuing to happen at UCSB. The Corporate Affiliates Program recently hosted Access UCSB to great success. Presentations from this program are available. This newsletter is devoted to providing a brief overview of the Capstone program, a course dedicated to helping students develop solutions to real-world engineering challenges with the help of an industry sponsor, the highlights of Access UCSB, and a welcoming back of our affiliate member, Nevion. For those of you interested in finding out more about ongoing research in engineering at UCSB, we plan to have a research review.

| Capstone Projects: Industry opportunity for research and recruiting | The recent end of the academic school year meant the conclusion, and the final presentations, of an extensive project for many engineering students called the Senior Capstone. Each year senior students in Mechanical, Computer Engineering, as well as Computer Science enroll in a capstone course to develop solutions to real-world engineering challenges involving independent student projects and industry-sponsored collaborations. Companies are able to work directly with some of the brightest and most capable students as they work to complete a team project. This provides industry with an excellent opportunity to foster a collaborative team, see natural leaders emerge from the team, and observe how students perform under "real-world" project timelines and deadlines. Companies that have successfully collaborated with these student teams include ATK, Northrop Grumman, Right Scale, Novacoast, Mentor Graphics, The Aerospace Corporation and many more. In many situations, the students who participated with industry in these projects have gone on to full-time positions with the sponsor company.

| Highlights of ACCESS UCSB | | On July 7, 2010 we hosted Access UCSB, an event designed to give industry the opportunity to see how industry can partner with us to reach their goals. The presentations from the program, which provided insight into the best approaches to accessing services, facilities and equipment have been uploaded to our site. The link to these presentations is:
