Labs are offered in Aerospace,Architectural, Biomedical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Industrial, Manufacturing,Materials, Mechanical, and Software Engineering. All labs are taught by Cal Poly professors andassisted by current Cal Poly students.

engineers rose during the same period from4.1 percent to 4.8 percent.Many engineers work on long-term research and development projects or in otheractivities that continue even during economic slowdowns. In industries such aselectronics and aerospace, however, large cutbacks in defense expenditures andgovernment research and development funds in the past, as well as the trend towardcontracting out engineering work to engineering services firms, both domestic andforeign, have resulted in significant layoffs of engineers. Some would say that engineersare being treated as expendable labor, especially when economic times are bad. Page 10.1038.2In 2002
