Engineering

The Engineering Shop for the UCO/Lick Technical Facilities, which is located on the UCSC campus, is responsible for some of the best astronomical instruments on this (or as far as we know, any) planet. This group works closely with various project Principal Investigators to produce designs that allow the instruments to meet, and many times exceed, the initial system requirements. The combination of talents in this department takes the projects from the conceptual stage and forges those concepts into working drawings that are then passed on to the Instrument Shop for fabrication.

Sr. Development Engineer - Gerald Cabak, 459-5892
