MESA/MPS/UndocuSTEM

Hello MESA/MPS/UndocuSTEM students! Tutoring continues in the MESA Center with regular hours through next week! A reminder that MESA staff and tutors are always there to help you! Let's come and prepare final with us!

Hi everyone! I’m Jesus Alberto Urias, a tutor for the MPS program and a Computer Engineering student. I started in Computer Science but found my passion for hardware after visiting Stanford’s NANO center. I love technology and helping others navigate STEM, which can be tough without support. MESA offers great resources, and I’m here to help as a Math tutor. Fun fact: I love gaming (especially Final Fantasy XIV) and cooking—I've made everything from steaks to pastries!

TOMORROW! Let's come out on Thursday 13 March (from 12:30 to 1:30) to the S Quad a Learning Communities Gathering for some pizza, volleyball and games to help de-stress with your peers. No RSVP required. Bring a friend!

Are you taking Physics and looking for extra study support? Join our study session on Wednesday, Mar 12, from 1:30 - 3:00 PM at MESA (S54)! This session is designed to help you review key concepts, ask questions, and collaborate with peers in a supportive environment.

The overarching goal of this CEER REU Summer Program is to immerse students in a meaningful and highly interdisciplinary research environment within the structural engineering domain and to teach them that design does not end with construction. Instead, designing for safety embodies: quantifying potential load conditions, damage mechanics, and uncertainties; monitoring for anomalies during operations; processing this information through cyber-modeling via digital surrogates; and translating the information to actionable knowledge for improving current and future system designs.

Application Deadline: March 15, 2025
