Alternative Energy Keys New Careers at Sac State
 Sacramento State was the center of the regional alternative energy industry today when companies from the Sacramento area set up booths in the University Union to network and share ideas with students.
Emir Jose Macari, dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science, said that bringing the event to Sac State gives students an effective way to look for internships and establish connections with companies.
Some companies may partner with the school so students can do projects for them, in place of hiring research and development departments that most startup companies cannot afford.
This gives students more real-world experience, Macari said.

Focus On : Hornet Racing Team
 Each year, members of the Sacramento State Society of Automotive Engineers car club build a race car and test engineering principles learned in class on an actual track against other college SAE teams. The open-wheel, formula one-style car is built according to specifications and guidelines provided by the Society of Automobile Engineers. Students are required to design their vehicle and build the majority of it from the ground up.

Focus On: Bridge Retrofit
 The bridge in Sacramento State’s Structural Engineering department came “tumbling down,” but, then, that was the whole point of the experiment.
More than 20 faculty, staff and students are taking part in a nationally funded test program to develop innovative pre-cast concrete bridge connections that are expected to speed up bridge construction while safely withstanding all levels of earthquakes.

Focus On : Computer Games Course
 While
most students spent the end of fall semester surrounded by books and
class notes, a small group of classmates in Riverside Hall were
playing adventure games, racing simulators and a variety of other
3-D computer games.
But it wasn't all fun and games in Professor John Clevenger's class,
where students were presenting their final projects. Clevenger is
quick to point out that the course, "Computer Game Architecture &
Implementation," requires an understanding of advanced data
structures, 3-D computer graphics, artificial intelligence
techniques, sound, animation and Newtonian mechanics including
force, mass, velocity, and acceleration.

Focus On :
3D Computer Modeling
 A
new 3D computer modeling class is blending the study of science and
computer programming with the aesthetics of art. The class is
attracting students with a wide range of interests including
engineering, graphics design and biology.
