Mechanical Engineering students interviewed on Channel 7

ABC Channel 7's Garth Kemp interviewed two Bourns College of Engineering students on the Eyewitness News Morning Show on September 26. The news crew came to UC Riverside, culminating a week of daily live broadcasts from college campuses throughout Southern California. Kemp (center) interviewed David McComb (left) and Andy Rodger (right) about their club's Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) "Victory". In April, the UCR student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers competed in the HPV west coast competition, and finished fourth overall in the endurance category. HPVs are aerodynamically engineered vehicles similar to enclosed bicycles. They are judged on design, safety and performance.

Guillermo Aguilar became a Fellow of the American Society for Lasers in Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) in October, 2003.
