UCSB Engineering and Sciences


Hooray for spring!

 

The end of the 2014-2015 school year at UC Santa Barbara is rapidly approaching.  Engineering and Science students will be donning their cap and gowns on June 13th.  Come join us on the Lagoon Green to celebrate with them.

 

We hope that you will visit campus before then to attend our annual business plan competition, "The New Venture Competition," on May 21st and /or come to hear the engineering student teams give their final presentations and share their posters on June 4th and 5th.  Also, this is the time to contact us for final internship or job recruitment needs and/or consider participating with our faculty and graduate students in the development of an entirely new program in network science, funded by the National Science Foundation, to produce diverse thought leaders in this burgeoning field.

Please join us on May 21st
for the New Venture Competition

Thursday, May 21, 2015 from 3:00-6:30 pm, the UC Santa Barbara's Technology Management Program invites you to join us at our 2015 New Venture Competition Finals.  Come celebrate and support new venture creation while listening to some of UC Santa Barbara's most outstanding young entrepreneurs present their ideas and innovations, and meet others in our community who share a passion for business and technology.
The competition takes place at the Corwin Pavilion.  Click here for more details. 

Come See the Student Capstone Projects 

The capstone final presentations day and poster session is an opportunity for you to hear from student teams in Computer Science (June 4th), Computer Engineering (June 4th) and Mechanical Engineering (June 5th) how they developed innovative solutions to real industry problems. Students won't find answers to these problems in a textbook, on a message board, or in off-the-shelf software package -- because students in capstone courses are among the first ever to be able to solve them. Working together with industry leaders, student teams take on the most challenging problems of the day with technological innovation, creativity, and boatloads of hard work.

How Your Company Can Benefit From UCSB's Expertise in
Network Science

UC Santa Barbara has been awarded an Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship Program (IGERT) by the National Science Foundation to produce diverse thought leaders in the burgeoning field of network science. The program will be constructed around the core components of a Network Science Laboratory (NSL), as well as summer internships with industry, new courses, weekly seminars, boot camp, and an innovation program. These weekly seminars, summer internships, and workshops will provide these graduate students with unique professional skills and we want you involved.
