Kevin Archangel '18 was part of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc, (SAAB) Student African American Brotherhood, NSBE (National Society of Black Engineers) while at SDSU. He is now recognized in HP's External Sustainability Report for being actively engaged in the HP Racial Equality and Social Justice Task Force and the Black Employee Impact Network.

Team HADES is representing San Diego State University at the NASA Robotic Mining Competition (RMC) Lunabotics 2022 by designing, building, and operating a lunar mining robot. This student competition has been facilitated through NASA’s Artemis Generation of student competitions and projects, while for Team HADES it was also their San Diego State University Senior Design Capstone project. The competition is an engineering challenge in which students gain experience with the engineering lifecycle process, from concept development to system closeout. During the project lifecycle, the team was able to apply what they have learned inside the classroom in this hands-on project. The goal of NASA RMC is to find innovative solutions to extract material from beneath the lunar surface using a partially autonomous robot with a dust-free operation/design.

Dr. Junfei Xie from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at San Diego State University used funding from her NSF CAREER project on Networked Airborne Computing to host the 2nd CPS-IoT Week Student Design Competition on Networked Computing on the Edge.

Thomas Offenbecher is an undergraduate electrical engineering student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, San Diego State University, Class of 2022. Thomas was awarded the 2022 College of Engineering Outstanding Student award. Professor Barry Dorr stated, "Thomas was the Outstanding ECE Student this year. His natural curiosity, technical ability, and genuine concern for fellow humans make us so proud of him. He is completely bitten by the signal processing bug and plans to develop digital radio after continuing his education at UCSD. This young man will make us all proud."

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Chair, Dr. Chris Mi, is the recipient of the Albert W. Johnson Research Lectureship which is SDSU's highest research honor.
