Welcome
The field of Mechanical Engineering includes all aspects of design, development, control, and manufacture of mechanical systems and energy conversion systems.
Mechanical engineering is essential to the proper design and manufacture of nearly every physical product in our modern world. As such, mechanical engineers are a fundamental resource for most industries, and work in interdisciplinary environments. Mechanical engineers must have the ability to see broad perspectives across disciplines and industries, and yet solve very local and specialized problems.

 SCU Students Control NASA Satellite
Engineering students in the Robotic Systems Laboratory are performing
mission operations for a NASA satellite that was launched on May 19. The
satellite contains an experimental biological payload that is exploring
how microbes may become resistant to drugs used to treat sick
astronauts. SCU students have engineered all of the communications and
control systems used to operate the spacecraft, and they are performing
their own research on advanced techniques to detect and diagnose faults on
remote spacecraft.
