San Diego State University, College of Engineering, Dean Monte Mehrabadi
Remembered for Kind Nature, Focused Determination and Leadership

The unexpected passing of San Diego State University College of Engineering
Dean Morteza “Monte” Mehrabadi is cause for reflecting on a life well
lived.

“Dean Mehrabadi’s leadership moved the College of Engineering forward at a
critical time,” said SDSU President Sally Roush. “He believed the college
could do more to serve the San Diego region.

“Under his guidance, the college enhanced its academic and research
excellence, expanded entrepreneurial training through the Zahn Innovation
Platform and increased the number of partnerships that bring business
leaders into classrooms and labs and provide mentoring and internships for
students.”

Provost and Senior Vice President Chukuka S. Enwemeka noted that Dean
Mehrabadi was part of the team that planned and designed the new
85,000-square-foot Engineering and Interdisciplinary Sciences Complex,
which doubled the amount of instructional space for engineering students.

“Monte’s enthusiasm for engineering and for collaboration helped the
college recruit and retain a diverse group of high-achieving faculty, staff
and students,” Enwemeka said. “His colleagues and friends will miss Monte’s
focused determination; his results-oriented leadership; and his kind
nature.”

Memorial gifts should be directed to San Diego State University, College of
Engineering in memory of Dean Monte Mehrabadi to support scholarships for
first-year engineering students.
