Joseph Ocampo, a UC San Diego sophomore and a member of the campus chapter of Engineers for a Sustainable World (ESW), is leading a team of fellow ESW student volunteers that has won a $10,900 grant to develop a mobile solar-powered station. The team plans to use the grant from the national ESW organization to develop the "solar tree on wheels" that will be used to charge batteries in laptops, cell phones, campus electric utility vehicles and other devices.
