AB  - This paper overviews a senior design project conducted by three undergraduate engineering students at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona), aimed at developing a small-scale test bed facility to support ongoing research on the subject of novel engines, as well as enhancing academic education. The project received support from a local industrial company (Weistec Engineering) and the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology. The paper reports how the idea was conceived from design concept to manifestation of a demonstrator engine through detailed planning and significant team efforts. The paper describes the planning and implementation process including required course development, securing funding for the research, and student involvements in the design process, construction and assembly, initial testing, lessons learned, and plans for future work. The project’s approach could be adapted to projects in any engineering discipline. Reporting this journey aims to stimulate interest among academic faculty and students in pursuing comparable endeavors and taking advantage of available resources offered by academia, industry, and the government.
