πŸŽ„πŸ§Swing by Christmas in the Park held in Downtown San Jose this Holiday Season and catch the amazing SJSU Penguin Display restored by one of our Fall 2025 Graduates Senior Projects! 🐧✨

Our talented Spartans put so much creativity and heart into bringing this vision to life and we couldn't be any more proud. β„οΈπŸ’™πŸ’›

SJSU College of Engineering students are reviving a beloved Christmas in the Park penguin display, blending creativity and engineering to build new animatronic features. Guided by Mechanical Engineering Professor Vimal Viswanathan, the project teaches real-world design, teamwork, and innovation β€” bringing motion, sustainability and fresh energy to one of San José’s most cherished holiday traditions.

β€œSeeing the penguins finally move β€” after months of planning, modeling, 3D printing, and assembly β€” was an amazing feeling,” says Bradley Karr, ’25 Mechanical Engineering, who participated in the project. β€œIt’s one thing to design something on a computer, but seeing it come to life in front of you is something else entirely.”

Get the full story on the SJSU NewsCenter blog β€” or better yet, swing by Christmas in the Park to see the penguins in motion!

Last week, the Mechanical Engineering department, in collaboration with the SJSU Career center, hosted another successful HVAC Industry Mixer and Demo Day! Students had the opportunity to connect with alumni and industry professionals, gaining valuable insights, exploring internships, and discovering job opportunities.

A huge thank you to our generous sponsors: Pragmatic Professional Engineers, DMG North, Southland Industries, Western Allied Mechanical, Automated Solutions Group, Salas O'Brien, Therma, Silicon Valley Mechanical, inc. and MORE Consulting, Inc. Your support plays a crucial role in advancing HVAC research and innovation within our department, helping students explore cutting-edge solutions and industry challenges.

We also had a wonderful time reconnecting with alumni, students, and professors. It was heartwarming to see faculty reunite with former students they had once taught β€” a true testament to the lasting connections within our SJSU community.

Special appreciation goes out to our incredible event team: SJSU ME alumni Jonathan Seryani, Jacob Penzo, and Kelly Masegian, M.S., CSAEd, and ME Administrative Analyst Lydie Rashel. Your dedication made this event a remarkable success!

We're excited to see what next year will bring!
