Headed by Professor YangQuan Chen, student Lab Technician Interns and Undergraduate researchers work collaboratively with Graduate students to produce the most efficient and reliable systems possible.  The entrepreneurial spirit which guides the lab can be summed up by the following:  “Try to be the first to test and solve new problems; if your work is not the first of its kind, make sure that your solutions/research are the best.”

The Development and Analytics team falls within the Engineering Service Learning program, much like KivaGreen. According to their website, the team is working with the  Merced County Office of Planning and Community Development department to create solutions and opportunities in managing the land at the Castle Airport Aviation and Development Center--which only recently came under ownership of Merced County. The team works to bring businesses into Merced County through the Castle Development Center. They must ensure that information about land, leases, building codes, etc. is readily accessible for their clients. The team is researching this critical information through paper, phone calls, and site visits. Their ultimate mission is to provide an ArcGIS based tool to handle all of this information, and present it in an effective manner.
