Mechanical Engineering Annual Convocation Recap, 2016
From grad student to alumnus to faculty, Materials and Mechanical Engineering Professor Matt Begley has seen it all at UCSB College of Engineering. Through his experience over the last 24 years, this forever Gaucho thinks he has figured out what makes UCSB Engineering so successful.
Dr. Tyler Susko has made the cover of the October 2016 IEEE Journal of Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering for his work on the MIT-Skywalker.
A computer software program that is used in engineering industries is now available to students attending U.S. universities for the price of $10 a year.
In 2015 UC Santa Barbara mechanical engineer and materials scientist Jonathan Berger developed an idea that could change the way people think about high-performance structural materials. Two years later, his concept is paying research dividends.
Graduate student Aimal Khankhel in the Biomolecular Science and Engineering Program at UCSB has won the prestigious and competitive NSF Graduate Research Fellowship for his research on developing new fundamental understanding of the role of mechanical signals in tissue development and maintenance.
With smart homes, self-driving cars and other technology making the world an ever more automated place, state-of-the-art automation and control has become essential. And UC Santa Barbara is among those leading the way.
For most of us, fluid dynamics and mechanics aren’t particularly significant — that is, until we’re white-knuckling it on a bumpy plane ride or trying to stay buoyant in unusually bubbly water. The way we navigate through air and water may one day be improved thanks to UC Santa Barbara researchers studying the complex properties and interactions of fluids.
