Mechanical Engineering

Welcome

Fabris-Drazen_1 

As the fall progresses and focus back on our classes, we reflect on our commitment to education and the potential in the next generation of engineers.  I would like to bring the focus back to our accomplishments and our bright future.  The department currently has 243 undergraduate students, 16 senior projects underway, educational improvements in teaching and laboratories.  We also have two tenure track searches in Thermo-Fluids and Materials. 

We welcome any interest in becoming involved in supporting or mentoring our senior projects.   

We have added classes in varying topics from classical elasticity to applied vehicle dynamics.  Our undergraduate program was just re-accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET).   Robert Marks joins us a lecturer in materials.  We also thank Roberto Dugnani and Abdie Tabrizi who have recently rejoined Santa Clara to help continue our programs in fluids and fuel cells.  And we welcome Nik Djordjevic from Lockheed-Martin as a new member to our industrial advisory board. 

 

I encourage you to look through our website to meet the faculty and the students. If you would like to learn more about our department or our activities feel free to contact our office or us directly.
