Throughout the semester, keep an eye out for events they host, such as review sessions leading up to major exams.
MESA offers:
- Individual and group tutoring for all MECH courses
- Workshops and review sessions
- Registration, course, project, and career support
Meet MESA
My name is Kameron Jones and I am a junior in Mechanical Engineering. This is my second school year as a MESA tutor, and I love the connections I’ve made with other Mechies as they progress through the program. Apart from engineering, I enjoy snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, skateboarding, and ice hockey. I am a part of the CSU Snowriders Club and I jump at every opportunity to go into the mountains. My favorite classes have been Mech 105 with Dr. B and Mech 200.
Kameron Jones 
I finished my fourth year last spring and will be graduating this fall. My favorite courses in the MECH department have been mechatronics, thermo and fluid dynamics, and machine design. This past summer I worked as a Field Engineer for a renewable energy company that mainly produces large scale solar farms called Primoris. I love helping other students work through the same struggles I went through myself and am eager to help all of you! In my free time I like to hike, mountain bike, explore new music, spend time with my friends, and work out.
Cade Houlihan 
I am a third year Mechanical Engineering major with a minor in Mathematics projected to graduate in 2026, and a first generation student. My favorite class so far has been MECH 105, because it introduced to me how broad of a field mechanical engineering is and how much I enjoy all of the different aspects of it. Outside of school, I work at a coffee shop, but in my free time I love drawing and painting as well as taking care of all my plants, and most importantly spending time with my friends.
Bree Rahbari 
I am a third year mechanical engineering student and planning on graduating this spring. During my time at CSU so far, I've made both a coin sorter and an RC car. In my free time I like to play video games, take hikes, and play D&D.
Matthew Love 
I am a third year mechanical engineering student and plan on graduating in the spring of 2026. I enjoy the designing, manufacturing, and ideation aspects of engineering the most. Outside of school I like to go fishing, snowboarding, and mountain biking. Mechanical engineering classes can be difficult so I am always eager to help out fellow classmates!
