Bourns Hall

 

Welcome to the Mechanical Engineering Department at University of California, Riverside.

We offer educational programs leading to B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering, and the department hosts nearly 400 undergraduate students and 70 graduate students. Please use the links on the main page to access the detailed information on our graduate and undergraduate programs.

 

The department is rapidly expanding, currently with 15 faculty members, including Distinguished Professor Reza Abbaschian, the Dean of the Bourns College of Engineering. Our faculty’s research activities span the broad areas of biomedical and health science, fluid and thermal science, design and information computation, mechanics and materials, and nano-structured materials and nanotechnology. I invite you to visit the individual home pages of our faculty members for more specific information about their backgrounds, interests and academic activities. We are actively recruiting outstanding candidates for tenured and tenure-tracked faculty as well as part-time lecturer appointments. The detailed information can be found using the link – POSITIONS on the main page.

 

The department has excellent facilities and laboratories, including the following:

• College of Engineering Machine Shop
• Air Quality Modeling Group
• Computational Mechanics & Materials Lab
• Biomaterials and Nanotechnology Laboratory
• Laboratory for Environmental Flow Modeling
• Laboratory of Transport Phenomena for Biomedical Applications
• Nano Mechanics and Materials Laboratory

The new Materials Science and Engineering building will add over 70,000 square feet of research and instructional space for programs in nanotechnology, materials science and bioengineering.
