AI-enabled safety glasses designed by a group of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ engineering students so impressed judges at a NASA contest that State students repeated as champions at the Gateways to Blue Skies competition at Langley Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Center, Hampton, Virginia. The glasses are designed to assist aircraft mechanics, but they could be applied to virtually any field. The system captures images of maintenance tasks, listens to the mechanic during the repair process, and automatically generates a complete maintenance report that becomes part of the aircraft’s service record. The SDSU team dubbed Wingman was one of eight teams selected to compete in the NASA contest finals May 18-19 at the NASA facility.

Although SDSU has been recognized as a leader in precision agriculture, a faculty member in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering noticed a gap in precision technology coursework related to livestock. This gap prompted Dick and Jeune Nicolai's gift to the university.

SDSU's growing teacher education program — including a newly designed elementary education degree — is preparing future educators through early hands-on classroom experiences and a curriculum built to meet today’s varied student needs.

A new study from Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ's Ness School of Management and Economics found that farmland values rose by 44% after changes to U.S. energy policies sparked the ethanol industry's initial boom.
