In Part One, Coast to Coast introduced the smart glasses startup led by UC Irvine student Sovit Nayak, designed to help engineers reduce errors and save time by integrating AI with wearable tech. Sak shared how the idea came from personal experience and interviews with 100+ engineers, highlighting a real industry need. Danielle Campeau, dean of the Schulze School of Entrepreneurship, also explained e‑Fest® — a high-stakes, three-day entrepreneurship competition bringing together 25 top undergraduate teams to pitch, innovate, and compete for up to $50,000 in funding.

On the latest episode of Coast to Coast, host Lisa Spalla takes us behind the scenes of collegiate innovation at e‑Fest®—one of the country’s most competitive entrepreneurship competitions—hosted by the Schulze School of Entrepreneurship at the University of St. Thomas.
What if engineers could see schematics, diagnostics, and live data—without ever looking away from their work?
That’s exactly what a new generation of smart glasses designed for engineers promises to deliver.
These next-gen wearables go far beyond basic augmented reality. They’re tailored for professionals in the field—streamlining maintenance, improving accuracy, and enhancing safety with real-time overlays, remote collaboration, and hands-free data access.
Whether you’re designing infrastructure or repairing systems in tough environments, this technology may soon become an essential tool in every engineer’s toolkit.
