Emeritus Professor Dr. George Mansfield and SDSU's National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) President, Jamilla Thomas, worked together to provide virtual tutoring, for several students during the pandemic and social unrest in San Diego.

The College of Engineering is pleased to announce that alumnus Paul Stuverud, ’71 BSEE and ’76 MSEE, has made an additional $50,000 gift to the endowed scholarship fund “Paul Stuverud MESA Endowed Scholarship” he created in 2019.

The Diversity Excellence Awards recognize faculty, staff and alumni / community members who have shown an exemplary commitment to diversity, inclusion and social justice. Nominees were evaluated for their quality and their contribution to diversity and social justice.

The Sustainable Horizons Institute has featured the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Assistant Professor, Dr. Christopher Paolini, in their feature story, "SRP: Creating Opportunities for Breakthrough Collaborations".

The College of Engineering, is pleased to announce that alumnus Paul Stuverud, ’71 BSEE and ’76 MSEE, has made an additional $50,000 gift to the endowed scholarship fund “Paul Stuverud MESA Endowed Scholarship” he created in 2019. Grateful for his SDSU education that launched a successful career working in integrated circuit design, Paul hopes that his generosity can ease the financial burden of students today. Paul first started giving to the College shortly after he completed his Master’s degree in 1976, supporting the College with annual gifts. Some 50 years later, Paul used his IRA Rollover to establish the fund and provide additional support.

Dr. Hassan Tavakol's, Civil Engineering undergraduate course, CIV E 444, has been showcased by the Cool4Ed initiative at the CSU Chancellor's Office, which is supported by the State of California (AB 798), the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation: https://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewSite.htm?id=9161456.

Dr. Reza Sabzehgar, associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, along with co-authors S. Heydari, P. Fajri, and M. Shadmand received the Best Paper Award at IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference (ITEC2020) for their paper on "Maximizing Harvested Energy through Regenerative Braking Process in Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive Electric Vehicles". This paper introduces a braking strategy for a dual-motor all-wheel drive electric vehicle that maximizes energy extraction during braking. The braking strategy is based on real-time sensing of each motor controller’s DC link current to achieve optimum brake allocation between friction and regenerative braking in both axles.

Please join us for our Fall 2020 Virtual Mechanical Engineering (ME) Senior Design Day event on Thursday, December 10, 2020, from 1:30pm – 4pm. This event will be held via Zoom. Please visit the Fall 2020 Mechanical Engineering Senior Design Day for more information on the ME Design Day and individual student projects.

Students from local colleges and high schools with a Mathematics, Engineering, Science, Achievement (MESA) program shadowed engineering and science professionals virtually through Zoom or Microsoft Teams on November 19, 2020.

MESA asked and our alumni responded overwhelmingly! More than 20 SDSU MESA Alumni participated in MESA's Virtual Alumni Chat series for Fall 2020.
