  4. SAMUELI SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING BY THE NUMBERS • Founded in 1965, The Samueli School of Engineering is one of the nation’s fastest growing programs. • Undergraduate program ranked in top 50 out of 300 engineering programs. • Grad program is ranked 38th. • 5 departments, 12 majors including CSE • 10 faculty members elected to National Academies • More than 1/3 of faculty are fellows in professional societies • 3,119 undergraduate students, 898 graduate students

  5. EXAMPLES OF RESEARCH AREAS • Water resources • Center for Hydrometerology and Remote Sensing • Urban Water Resource Center • Energy • The National Fuel Cell Research Center • UCI Combustion Laboratory • Biomedical Engineering • Beckman Laser Institute • The Edwards Lifesciences Center for Advanced Cardiovascular Technology • Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center • Plus 10 other research centers and 40 additional individual research groups

  6. COURSES ARE TAUGHT BY TOP RESEARCHERS Dr. Michelle Khine Inventor of microfluidic technologies for biomedical applications Dr. Bob Liebeck Boeing Senior Fellow Father of Blended Wing Body Airplane

  7. TEACHING APPROACH • Initially, classes are large (lower division) • Upper division courses become smaller and more interactive • Year long senior design courses • Projects such as cargo airplane, steel bridge • Interaction with faculty is a hallmark of smaller classes • A blend of fundamentals, research and hands-on experience.

  8. EXCELLENT CONNECTIONS WITH INDUSTRY

  9. PRACTICAL DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES • Students are encouraged to participate in research and hands-on engineering design opportunities to develop practical skills needed for graduate study or employment. • Some examples of ways to participate: • Senior design projects • UROP and Independent Studies • Engineering design competitions

  10. COMMUNICATION & TEAMWORK

  11. STUDENT INVOLVEMENT • Engineering Student Council (ESC) • Discover Research • Engineers week • E-Prom • Engineers Without Borders (EWB) • American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME) • Society of Women Engineers (SWE) • American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) • Mexican American Engineers and Scientists (MAES) • National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) • Honors Societies • And many more!

  18. LAPTOPS • Engineering students are required to have access to a laptop. • Some software and support is provided to students. • Financial assistance offered by Financial Aid. • More information can be found at laptops.eng.uci.edu

  19. CHANGE OF MAJOR • Students who have been admitted to UCI may request a major change into engineering by submitting an appeal • www.eng.uci.edu/appeal • Reviewed on a case by case basis • Not guaranteed

  20. FSSP • Freshman Summer Start Program • Earn academic credit – GE or Major • Learn about campus resources • Contact the Undergraduate Student Affairs Office prior to enrolling in a course.

  21. INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING • First year Engineering students design, build and test a multi-disciplinary project • Course offers an introduction to basic Engineering principles as well as all the Engineering disciplines
