The Mechanical Engineering Student Ambassadors (MESA) host office hours throughout the semester to provide free individual and small group tutoring for all courses in the MECH curriculum. They can also assist with other questions related to being a successful MECH student!

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

I am a fourth-year mechanical engineering student planning on graduating this upcoming spring. I was apart of the NASA Space Grant internship this past summer at the CSU Powerhouse with fellow mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, and physics majors. My favorite class so far has been mechatronics (Mech 307). Outside of school, I am a part of the CSU gymnastics club and I enjoy going on hikes and hammocking around campus.

I am a third-year Mechanical Engineering major and Business minor, and I plan on graduating in December 2024. Currently, I work for Caterpillar as a Parallel Co-op in their engines research department. I like keeping myself busy with school and work. I enjoy mountain biking, skiing, and working on my bicycle and car in my little free time. I am also a part of the CSU Gymnastics Club and the Ram Country Swing and Line Club.

Fall 2023 MESA Tutoring and Office Hours

Office hours only occur on days when classes are in session. Schedule is in Mountain Daylight Time.

How to connect virtually:

1. Check the online schedule here and MESA Office Hours Announcements to confirm we are open. 

2. Log into Microsoft Teams with your CSU credentials.  We recommend you utilize a device with a large enough screen that will facilitate screen sharing (a cell phone will work but is not optimal).

3. Submit this form.

4. A MESA tutor will use the call feature on MS Teams to contact you for a tutoring session.

Note: MESA may be helping a student in-person and/or there may be other students “in line” virtually or in-person in front of you.  Please be patient as you wait for your turn.  We may combine virtual tutoring sessions into one meeting to help as many students as possible.

How to connect in person:

1. Check the schedule and MESA Office Hours Announcements to confirm we are open.

2. Come to our office in the Engineering Building basement, Room 5 (located in the ASME Student Lounge).

4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Student Feedback

“MECH Gear Up gave me a steppingstone into a solid routine in a very rough time. Being around other engineering students who were determined to have a positive semester helped drive me to give 110%.”
“I found Mech Gear Up helpful as it gave me tips for studying which I was mainly looking for. If someone has no idea on what they need to do to improve themselves, Mech Gear Up would be very useful.”
"Mech Gear Up helped me improve most of my skills. After Mech Gear Up I believe I improved most in my time management and organizing skills. In addition, I learned tools to help with procrastination and other things as well. I would recommend it to everyone."
