Engineers for a Sustainable World
ESW’s mission is to bring communities together to develop, implement,
and share sustainable technologies and practices worldwide.To achieve our
mission, we have six goals:
◦◦ Sustainable Projects
◦◦ Engineering Experience
◦◦ Educational Outreach
◦◦ Networking
◦◦ Fundraising
◦◦ Community Building
Every quarter, we hold events and offer opportunities that meet each of
these goals. Fall quarter, we hosted a tour of General Atomics, home to one of the
trailblazing contributions to fusion technology. Along with our ongoing projects,
we have community and outreach events as well as workshops and more industrial tours planned for the quarters to come. To stay in the loop and learn about
other exciting events, connect with the ESW community through our website at
esw.ucsd.edu and like us on Facebook at facebook.com/eswucsd.

Hopkin’s Solar Panel Lighting Retrofit
Several students and I are working with Building Commissioning to retrofit
the current lighting under the solar panels on top of Hopkins. Lighting retrofits have quick paybacks and can yield substantial energy savings. In addition
to these benefits, updating the lighting will reduce greenhouse gas emissions
and will improve safety on the top of the parking garage.
