The Mechanical Engineering Department at USF has approximately 1200 undergraduates and 200 graduate students. Our students come from over 40 countries. Our engineering graduates are making a deep impact on the society. Several of our alumni are successful entrepreneurs and hold senior positions in large corporations. Our students are in great demand with lucrative job offers by local, regional, national and international companies including Boeing, Honeywell, Siemens, Motorola, Honda, Lockheed, TECO, P&G, Jabil, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Harris, and Raytheon. Our faculty members are committed to conducting research as a means of improving society, increasing the nation's prosperity, and maintaining up-to-date teaching instruction. Most of the research in the department is interdisciplinary and collaborative. Areas of research include robotics, biomedical and tissue engineering, nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing, micro electromechanical systems, biosensors and biofluids, clean energy technologies, compliant mechanisms, rehabilitation engineering, system dynamics and vibrations, composite materials, and sustainable designs. Sponsors include government agencies such as NSF, DOE, DOD and NASA, non-profit organizations, and also the private sector. With collaboration among faculty, graduate students and undergraduates, we have achieved national and international prominence for our research and teaching efforts. Our faculty and students have received a large number of patents through innovative research as well as design courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

Capstone Design II: Prototype Demonstrations On December 13, students presented their design work through posters and prototype demonstrations. Their projects highlighted months of research, planning, and collaboration, showcasing a range of innovative solutions. Attendees explored everything from cutting-edge engineering concepts to user-friendly interfaces. Check out our official Flickr page for the full photo album to see more of their inspiring work! https://lnkd.in/e9TTvgsz We congratulate everyone involved for their hard work and creativity.
?? Innovative Teaching at USF Mechanical Engineering ?? At USF's Department of Mechanical Engineering, we're proud to have professors like Kyle Reed, who are constantly pushing the boundaries of teaching to enhance student learning. This semester, Professor Kyle Reed introduced an exciting new approach in his Electrical Systems course that blends flexibility with engagement. One key innovation was assigning labs for students to complete individually at home. While this posed challenges, such as receiving timely help, Professor Reed addressed this with a blended lecture format. This hybrid model allowed students to build circuits at home successfully. We're fortunate to have professors who continually develop and apply such innovative techniques to improve learning. If you're interested in exploring this system, reach out to Professor Reed. #USF #MechanicalEngineering #InnovationInTeaching #ElectricalSystems #STEM #HybridLearning #Education
This semester, I introduced several new methods in my electrical systems course, and I’d like to share them with you—and encourage you to try them as well. The first innovation involved assigning labs for students to complete at home, individually. While this approach can present challenges—such as getting timely help—these were addressed by the second change: a blended lecture format. In this new format, lectures are delivered through on-demand video, paired with opportunities for immediate discussion. Students can watch the instructional videos at their own pace, then ask questions and see answers to their classmates’ questions whenever they need. By combining self-paced video learning with accessible, on-demand support, students were able to build circuits at home successfully. Over 90% of them turned in photos or videos of their functioning projects. Some students moved ahead quickly, while others took their time, and everyone progressed efficiently on their own terms. If you’re interested in trying this hybrid lecture system, please reach out to me or explore it for yourself here:?https://cyol.eng.usf.edu USF Mechanical Engineering
