🎓 Thesis Proposal Presentation

We’re excited to share that Andres Maldonado, a graduate student in the Department of Engineering and Computer Science at McNeese State University, will be presenting his Master’s thesis proposal tomorrow!

His research, titled “Assessment of Coastal Protection Performance of Hybrid Coastal Structures through Physics-Based Simulation with Laser-Scanned Vegetation Models,” explores innovative approaches to understanding and improving coastal protection structures through advanced simulation and modeling.

📅 August 28, 2026
🕑 2:00–3:00 PM
📍 Drew Hall Conference Room

Please join us in supporting Andres as he shares his research and the work he has been developing as part of his graduate studies.

Best of luck, Andres! We’re looking forward to your presentation! 👏🎓

Join us in congratulating Mechanical Engineering graduate student Jiajing Lin! 🎉

Jiajing recently represented our department at the 2026 ASME Fluids Engineering Division Summer Conference—a landmark centennial celebration marking the Division's 100th anniversary.

He presented two technical papers and a poster, and his video on Contraband Bayou Flood Modeling was featured during the awards luncheon!

Way to go, Jiajing! We’re so proud of your hard work and achievements. 👏🌊

Behind every great student experience is a team of professors willing to bring their research out of the lab and into the classroom.✨

We want to give a massive thank you to the incredible faculty who led our 2026 Summer Engineering Research Academy.
A huge thank you to our faculty:

Dr. Zhuang Li – for teaching the students how to code and program VEX robots for the team challenges.

Dr. Zeyad Zeitoun – for introducing them to chemical engineering through hands-on water purification and energy experiments.

Dr. Farid Hosseinpour – for getting everyone into the civil engineering lab to design, mix, and break their own concrete blocks.

Dr. Bei Xie – for showing them the data science side of things, teaching them how to code in Python to analyze real NASA balloon data.

None of this would have been possible without the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

A huge thank you to Dr. Ning Zhang (Department of Engineering and Computer Science) and Amanda Hext (Coordinator of Continuing Education, Institute for Industry-Education Collaboration) for organizing and coordinating the entire program from start to finish.

Thank you all for taking the time out of your summer to inspire these students. We appreciate everything you do for the department!💫💫💫

The McNeese State University Department of Engineering and Computer Science recently had the privilege of hosting the 37th Annual Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges (CCSC) South Central Conference right here in Lake Charles.

Held in cooperation with our MSU Student Chapter of the ACM, the conference was a fantastic forum for regional collaboration. It was incredibly inspiring to see educators, industry professionals, and students come together to discuss the future of computing curricula and higher education.✨✨

An event of this scale requires an immense amount of behind-the-scenes work. We are so proud of our faculty and students who stepped up to organize and manage this event. Their dedication highlights our department's commitment to leadership in technology infrastructure and STEM education.
