Computer Engineering Undergraduate Gurpreet Singh Kalsi undergoes the efficiency test at the 2019 Applied Collegiate Exoskeleton Competition inside the Bob and Betty Beyster Building on North Campus in Ann Arbor MI. on Saturday May 18, 2019.
This final test of the competition is designed to see if the exoskeleton is, in fact, reducing the mechanical energy expenditure of the user by using a metabolic tester that uses indirect calorimetry to measure strain on the user with and without the aid of the exoskeleton.
This year the University of Michigan STARX Team took first place at the competition. Seven other collegiate teams attended.

I've been fascinated with space exploration for as long as I can remember, and this focused my interests in college. I earned a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, a master's in electrical engineering and a doctorate in electrical engineering with an emphasis in dynamics and controls -- all from the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
As a contractor engineer supporting NASA, I'm on a team that is developing algorithms for the flight control system of NASA's Space Launch System (SLS). We are testing those algorithms on an F-18 fighter jet at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center. We’re able to maneuver this jet in such a way that our software doesn't know that it's flying an airplane. It thinks it's flying SLS -- the biggest, most-capable launch vehicle ever designed.
Our team has an exceptional opportunity as early-to-mid-career engineers on this project. We’re doing something that is really unprecedented in human spaceflight from the standpoint of algorithm design, development and flight certification. We're expanding the envelope of the capabilities of SLS a little bit outside what we'd normally be able to achieve through a traditional analysis process. With an advanced algorithm, we can be more responsive to anomalies in flight, like unpredictable winds, to ensure the vehicle stays on its trajectory.
My advice to students is to find something that inspires you, whatever it is, and invest in it. Too often, we assume that in order to reach the stars, we only need engineers, technicians, mathematicians and scientists. We also need artists, poets and visionaries. Find a way to become one -- or many -- of these things.

Purdue University’s Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering today (Sept. 29) celebrated the completion of new, cutting-edge research space. The Chiminski Family Collaborative Research Hub is located on the second floor of the Materials and Electrical Engineering Building (MSEE). It was made possible by a generous gift from alumnus John R. Chiminski and his wife Laura A. Chiminski.
