For the Auto Club of Southern California’s summer campaign against illegal street racing, the student-run design team USC Racing demonstrated how safety is built into every stage of developing a competitive race car.
A USC-led collaboration has received Department of Energy Genesis Mission funding to develop an AI framework for unprecedented high-fidelity turbulence simulation.
An NIH Trailblazer Award is supporting USC Viterbi Assistant Professor Hangbo Zhao's research on flexible medical electronics designed to give physicians new insights into high-risk artery plaque.
First-ever open house showcases USC SERC where students are building satellites, developing space robots and preparing for the next generation of space exploration
Four USC Viterbi researchers selected for the Argonne National Laboratory extreme-scale computing program are learning how to run complex scientific simulations on the world’s most powerful supercomputers.
Professor Assad Oberai, newly appointed chair of USC Viterbi’s Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering (AME), discusses how advances in computation, autonomy and artificial intelligence are reshaping the field - and where AME should focus its efforts next.
Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering @ USC
Aerospace and mechanical engineers design and build unique, complex mechanical-optical-electronic (mechoptronic) systems, ranging in scale from the International Space Station to microscale electric generators and pumping systems.
A broad range of engineering science research is critical to developing novel, complex mechoptronic systems. As a consequence, aerospace and mechanical engineers conduct extensive basic and applied research within and crossing their usual disciplinary boundaries, they also synthesize research from many other disciplines.
