The U.S. Coast Guard Academy Mechanical Engineering program is a rigorous undergraduate course offered at the United States Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), a federal service academy located in New London, Connecticut. This four-year program emphasizes the application of mathematical and scientific principles to the design, analysis, and operation of mechanical systems. Students in this program study topics such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and system dynamics, with a focus on solving practical engineering problems relevant to the Coast Guard's mission. Graduates are prepared for careers in fields like marine propulsion, structural design, research, and development. The curriculum also includes a strong emphasis on leadership, ethics, and physical fitness, reflecting the USCGA's mission to educate future officers of the U.S. Coast Guard. Admission into the program is competitive and requires a nomination from a member of Congress or the Department of Defense, as well as successful completion of the Academy's candidate fitness test and academic qualifications. Upon graduation, cadets are commissioned as ensigns in the U.S. Coast Guard and serve active duty for at least five years. The Mechanical Engineering program at the USCGA is an ideal choice for students interested in a challenging and rewarding career in engineering with the opportunity to serve their country as part of the U.S. Coast Guard.

Color-changing ceramic mugs with a glossy finish, black exterior, and white interior. Available in one size: 11 oz (≈330 ml). Heat-reactive coating reveals your custom design when filled with hot liquid. BPA- and lead-free, with a comfortable C-handle.

This mug brings a playful twist to the daily coffee or tea ritual. At room temperature, it looks like a simple black mug with a glossy finish. But add a hot beverage, and your chosen design fades into view, showing vivid colors against the white interior.

The ceramic body is durable enough for repeated use, while the C-shaped handle balances comfort and grip. Printing uses sublimation techniques that fuse color into the heat-reactive surface for crisp results when the design appears.

  • Material: ceramic with glossy black exterior and white interior.
  • Size: one standard size, 11 oz (≈330 ml).
  • Finish: glossy glaze with heat-sensitive surface.
  • Printing: sublimation process produces crisp, vibrant colors.
  • Safety: BPA-free and lead-free, suitable for everyday drinks.
  • Effect: design is faintly visible when cold, fully revealed when hot.

Perfect as a novelty gift or a fun personal mug, the heat-reactive design makes coffee breaks more engaging. It works well for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or hot chocolate.

  1. Daily routine: fill with any hot beverage to reveal your chosen artwork.
  2. Gifting: the “magic” reveal makes it a memorable present for birthdays, holidays, or office exchanges.
  3. Office use: sparks conversation while still being practical for everyday drinks.

Note: for best results, avoid designs that rely heavily on deep black backgrounds, as they may blend with the mug’s surface when cold.

Unlike standard mugs, color-changing mugs require gentler care to preserve the heat-reactive coating. Hand-wash only — avoid the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the finish and reduce the effect.

The mug is safe for short microwave use when heating liquids, but repeated high-heat cycles may shorten the lifespan of the coating. Always allow the mug to cool before washing.

Available in one classic size: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml). It’s large enough for most standard coffee makers and fits comfortably in most cabinets.
