Cal Poly – San Luis Obispo(California Polytechnic State University)

23‐24.04.2014 Mechanical Engineering, Cal Poly – San Luis Obispo 1

Not Cal Tech(where Jet Propulsion Lab is)

Where is Cal Poly exactly?

And, yes, even in winter, the weather is always perfect

223‐24.04.2014 Mechanical Engineering, Cal Poly – San Luis Obispo

340 km

320 km

Not exactly on coast, but not far away:  20 km both north and south

Cal Poly at a glance

• 20,000 students, mostly undergraduate• Part of 23 California State University campuses (largest undergraduate system in USA)

• Students come from all over the USA• Several “colleges”

– Engineering, Agriculture, Architechture, Business, Math & Science, Liberal Studies, Education

• In total 5000 engineering students• Mechanical Engineering is largest department at Cal Poly with about 1100 students

• No PhDs offered but many master degree programs

323‐24.04.2014 Mechanical Engineering, Cal Poly – San Luis Obispo

Some other particulars

• Students come not just from all over California but also from all over USA

• Bachelor is de facto a five‐year program

• Master is usually a two‐year program

• No required internship (Praktikum)

• Many hands‐on labs

Engineering at a glance

• Several departments– Mechanical, Electrical, Civil & Environmental, Aerospace, Industrial & Manufacturing, Materials, Biomedical, General, Agricultural (Ag)

• In Mechanical, several concentrations– General, Mechatronics, HVAC, Manufacturing

• Close ties with industry (industrial projects)

• A good deal of club activity (SAE, ASME, ASHRAE)

• Labs, labs, labs

523‐24.04.2014 Mechanical Engineering, Cal Poly – San Luis Obispo

Unlike in Europe, manufacturing is not a part of Mechanical Engineering

Automotive engineering at Cal Poly

• There is no major nor concentration in automotive engineering – There was little automotive industry in California

• Despite this there is a long history of involvement in automotive engineering at Cal Poly, mainly through club activity

• Lately there is growing automotive activity in California– Tesla, Daimler (Long Beach & Portland), test tracks in the desert (Hyundai, Kia, BMW)
