Improving Indoor Air Quality for Better Public Health

UC Davis researchers, including Dean of the College of Engineering Richard Corsi, are tackling indoor air quality — an often-overlooked factor in health and productivity. From ventilation strategies to airborne disease transmission, their work is shaping cleaner, healthier indoor spaces in homes, schools and workplaces.

Featured Program

E-Search Project Showcase

E-SEARCH

The UC Davis College of Engineering is pleased to support E-SEARCH, a program launched in 2023 for undergraduates who are considering graduate study or careers in engineering research by linking them with engineering graduate students who are conducting research projects. The program aims to broaden participation in engineering advanced study, introduce students to new career paths, demonstrate the real-world impacts and applications of engineering research, and provide graduate students with teaching and mentoring opportunities.

Education

Classroom

UC Davis College of Engineering Launches 2 New Courses in AI

UC Davis is getting smart about smart tech. With new courses "AI for All" and "AI in Health," the College of Engineering is preparing students across disciplines to explore AI's foundations, applications and ethical impact.
