In a cooperative effort between the National Solar Observatory at Sacramento Peak and the University of Texas at El Paso, junior and senior electrical engineering and computer engineering students spend the summer working on design projects at UTEP and at the Observatory. At present, Observatory personnel do not have the time or resources to retrofit or redesign existing equipment that, although marginal, functions at an acceptable level. This opens the door for many student design projects aimed at optimizing existing equipment. These projects include the design of a serial handbox interface for telescope control, the development of a noise insensitive fiber optic link for CCD camera data, and the design of calibrated timing source for synchronizing instruments used for solar observations.

在萨克拉门托峰的国家太阳天文台和德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校的合作下，大三和大四的电气工程和计算机工程专业的学生在夏天在UTEP和天文台进行设计项目。目前，天文台工作人员没有时间或资源改造或重新设计现有的设备，这些设备虽然微不足道，但功能仍可接受。这为许多旨在优化现有设备的学生设计项目打开了大门。这些项目包括设计用于望远镜控制的串行手持式接口，开发用于CCD相机数据的噪声不敏感光纤链路，以及设计用于太阳观测的同步仪器的校准定时源。
