SDSU College of Engineering

SDSU College of Engineering is finding solutions - our students identify human and societal needs, and design novel, sustainable engineering solutions. 💻 engineering.sdsu.edu

SDSU SHPE (Society of Hispanic Engineers) and MESA (Math Engineering Science Achievement) (formerly MEP) members recently cheered on the SDSU Aztec Football team at Snapdragon Stadium. Many of those in attendance were charter members of the SDSU SHPE chapter over 40 years ago and have remained connected through the years. Thank you to all who attended. Go Aztecs!!!! ❤️🖤 Robert Espinosa, Electrical Engineering Jorge Rosales, Electrical Engineering Jose Gomez, Civil Engineering Sam Lopez, Civil Engineering Gil Montes, Electrical Engineering Walter Rodriguez, Electrical Engineering Alfredo Aldrete, Electrical Engineering Janet Tisnado, Electrical Engineering Mark Mulock, Mechanical Engineering Thelma Chavez, SDSU MESA Program Director for Sciences

Join us at the Engineering Graduate Research Symposium happening on November 8th from 1-3pm @ Montezuma Hall! We are so excited for an afternoon with our brilliant master's and doctoral students from the SDSU College of Engineering. Register here: buff.ly/4ehOUQc

Congratulations to mechanical engineering professor Parag Katira (second from right), selected as one of six SDSU Presidential Research Fellows for 2025! Pictured above (from left): Interim Provost William Tong, Olivia Chilcote (Arts and Letters), Corinne McDaniels-Davidson (School of Public Health), President Adela de la Torre, Vice President for Research and Innovation Hala Madanat, Jillian Wiggins (Sciences), Robert Luallen (Sciences), Katira, and Nicholas Johnson, College of Education.

On Saturday, October 5th, the College of Engineering Alumni Committee hosted the first-ever College of Engineering Alumni Tailgate! Over 150 alumni, family, and friends from the college came together to share in their Aztec Pride. From enjoying hot dogs and drinks in the sun to cheering on the Aztecs in their victory against Hawaii, we are so grateful for everyone who joined us! 😁

The National Science Foundation (NSF) will support the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, education, research, and student success at San Diego State University through a four-year, $2.8M grant. SDSU is partnering with UC San Diego and the NSF Institute for Learning-enabled Optimization at Scale (TILOS). The initiative will also develop learning opportunities across San Diego middle schools, high schools, and community colleges, in an effort to draw diverse talent into the AI workforce. 👉 Learn more: bit.ly/4brX6vD. “This project will provide cutting-edge AI research and education to the diverse community of innovators and future leaders in the San Diego region,” said Junfei Xie, electrical and computer engineer and principal investigator. #artificialintelligence #research #engineering #STEMresearch #STEM #diversity #education #workforce #careerdevelopment #sandiegostateuniversity #sandiego #sandiegostate #sdsu #electricalengineering #computerengineering SDSU Research Foundation SDSU Division of Research and Innovation

Envision a world where doctors no longer need to perform invasive surgeries to treat medical conditions in the brain, heart, or other complex regions of the body. 🧠 In a new National Science Foundation (NSF) collaborative research study, Dr. Amneet Bhalla of San Diego State University and Dr. Nitesh Nama of University of Nebraska-Lincoln will run computer simulations to investigate the potential use of microbubbles and acoustics for targeted drug delivery and treatment in patients. 🗞 Read more: bit.ly/3RHCLLS “Using physics-based computer simulations, we can investigate emerging diagnostic and preventive medical techniques that are deemed too novel or risky for clinical trials,” said Bhalla. #engineering #mechanicalengineering #micromedicine #nanorobotics #nanotechnology #advancedmedicine #medicine #ultrasound #fluiddynamics #sandiegostateuniversity #SDSU

ICYMI: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded the SDSU Industrial Assessment Center with funding to expand its operations by developing the Western Regional Center of Excellence. This will allow the team to enhance its complimentary environmental consulting services to local, underserved communities, all while students gain critical clean energy job experience.

We asked Class of 2024 Aerospace Engineering Outstanding Graduate Johnny McDonagh what his favorite memory was from his time in the SDSU College of Engineering. 👨🎓 He said: "The final days of Senior Design with the presentation and Design Day were the most rewarding and satisfying memories from my time here. Just being able to sit back and appreciate the work my teammates and I invested in the 8-month process is invaluable, I’ll never forget these friends and moments." #sdsu #sdsuengineering #collegeofengineering #engineeringschool #sandiegoengineer #aerospacengineer #aviation #aerodynamics #aeronautics #aerospace John McDonagh SDSU Aerospace

Congratulations to Dean Eugene Olevsky on receiving the 2024 Fellow Award by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS)! 👏 This is an outstanding achievement and we are proud to have you as our Dean.
