Welcome!
What Mechanical Engineering Offers
Our hands-on curriculum and projects give students the best opportunity to learn and interact with our faculty. Our graduates work in many diverse industries in the Silicon Valley, including aerospace, medical devices and biotechnology, telecommunications, semiconductor manufacturing and equipment, power generation, and product design.

Support the Mechanical Engineering Department on the Days of Giving!
Mechanical Engineering Student Support Fund
We would love your support to raise a “Mechanical Engineering Student Support Fund.” This money will be exclusively used to support students’ hands-on experiences, experimentation work, senior and master projects, research projects, and travel to professional conferences to disseminate cutting-edge research. Several of our students come from economically disadvantaged communities and your donations can make a difference in how they achieve their dreams with a Mechanical Engineering degree.
Mechanical Engineering Lathe
With your kind donations, we can purchase a brand-new lathe and replace the aging one. This makes a difference for our students as they can continue working on their hands-on projects without worrying about the lathe breaking down when they are ready to build their prototype. Our Formula SAE racing team, Spartan Hyperloop team, and our ASME student teams have experienced impressive success in their respective competitions. And despite the winning or losing in these competitions, they bring amazing hands-on learning opportunities for our students. Your donations can make a difference by ensuring that our students have access to the tools they need for achieving their tasks.
Mechanical Engineering Faculty Support Fund
Your donations can make a difference! As our faculty members engage in research to support the community, their profession and the country as a whole, they always worry about where the resources are coming from. With your help, the Mechanical Engineering Department will fund a Faculty Support Fund that can fund small equipment purchases, maintenance and repair or equipment, creation of new hands-on research projects and the travel to professional venues. By enabling faculty research, you can help to improve the research capabilities of the university and this can benefit the community through community-focused research projects that our faculty are always excited about!
