Featured Faculty
James D. Carrico, PhD
Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Fellow in Catholic Studies
I teach many of the classes in mechanical design as well as classes in instrumentation, manufacturing, and ethics. I love being involved in student design projects and to mentor students as they bring their ideas to fruition. It's especially rewarding to have students closely collaborate with a variety of industry partners and to engage in interdisciplinary work with other students in the Hamm School of Engineering and Saint Gianna School of Health Science.
Anthony Garcia, PhD
Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering
I started as an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Mary in 2018. I primarily teach courses in the fields of system dynamics, control systems, and thermo-fluids.
