ABET Accreditation

The Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering and the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering offered at the Long Beach campus are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. The Mechanical Engineering- Antelope Valley program is also accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org

Advisory Council

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is supported by a professional Advisory and Development Council (ADC) comprised of outstanding engineers and executives from industry and government agencies in Southern California. The role of the ADC is to form a liaison between the University and industry and to help the administration and faculty remain informed of modern engineering practices and help with Continuous Improvement Process (CIP).

Student Organizations

Students have the benefit of joining the student chapters of professional societies:

  • AIAA (American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics)
  • ASME (American Society for Mechanical Engineers)
  • SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)
  • SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers)
  • ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers)
