Engineering Expo winners announced
Please proviSenior engineering students put their year鈥檚 efforts on display at the Engineering Expo April 23 at the Raven Precision Agriculture Center.
The winning entry was a drone battery swapping station entered by Justin Potts, Daniel Messerli, Mason Krause, Ethan Ellender and Cory Kleve. They built a modified drone and landing station that swaps drone batteries autonomously, allowing for a quick and self-sufficient swap. The portable station can be powered by wall power or a battery.
Second place went to the team of Marcus Decker, Riley Spade and Adam and Alan Cowl, who redesigned the drivetrain for the off-road Baja vehicle for the Society of Automotive Engineers contest.
Tying for third were a sprayer trainer stand (see photo and description below) and a wearable intravenous sleeve designed by Dalton Anderson, Nathan Lawrence, Connor Gress, Jonah Coffel.

Building a seed-planting drone on a tight budget
Johnny Appleseed became an American legion in the first half of the 19th century for his apple tree-planting endeavors. In the first half of the 21st century, a group of nine SDSU engineering students are hoping to make tree planting a viable high-tech operation anywhere in the world.
They form a senior design team that is creating a seed pod drone and dispenser that is sponsored by Jerry Natzel of Owatonna, Minnesota.
