Cal Poly Pomona’s Center for Exploration and Space Technology (EaST) embodies what a true polytechnic education is meant to be—Engineering with Purpose. EaST brings together cutting‑edge research facilities, shared high‑value equipment, and interdisciplinary collaboration to empower students and faculty to push the boundaries of discovery. By centralizing advanced tools and modernized laboratories, the center strengthens faculty competitiveness for major grants, expands hands‑on research opportunities, and fuels innovation in areas such as space technologies, advanced manufacturing, and autonomous systems. EaST ensures that every Bronco engineer has access to the resources, mentorship, and research environment needed to tackle the most pressing challenges of our time.
With donor support, EaST is poised to become a creative engine for the College of Engineering—supporting student projects, enabling breakthrough research, and elevating Cal Poly Pomona as a national leader in applied engineering education. Your gift during Broncos Give helps sustain and expand this shared research infrastructure, opening doors for more students to engage in meaningful, career‑shaping research. Thank you for helping us realize our purpose—and for empowering the next generation of engineers who will shape the future.
