Engineering for All

UC Davis engineers are developing accessible technologies and novel solutions for the planet's most challenging problems, from forward-thinking green energy systems that anticipate the tidal wave of used electric vehicle batteries to the future of sustainable food, agriculture and more. We strive to leave no communities behind by creating engineering solutions that improve the quality of life for all.

Dean's Download: Discussing the Promise of AI

Dean Corsi and two others are sitting and talking in a lounge; a large aerial photo of a complex is on the wall behind them.

As a crosscut of our strategic research vision, the College of Engineering has made a commitment to engineering for all, or designing engineering solutions and accessible technologies that leave no communities behind. In reflecting on Engineering for All, it’s hard to stop oneself from thinking of artificial intelligence. It promises so much good for so many sectors, from making research and education more accessible to expediting discoveries in human health and global sustainability. 

Yet, as we are in the early stages of this technology’s development, there is also a lot that causes pause. How do we ensure we are engineering AI models to be fair and just, and how do we ensure that we are building technologies now that are equitable and usable by all down the road? 

It’s a lot to chew on. Thankfully, I have two brilliant researchers — Professor of Computer Science Ian Davidson and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Chen-Nee Chuah — to help me talk through AI’s current and near-future applications in the College of Engineering and society at large.

A UC Davis-grown green energy storage solution gives new life to retired electric vehicle batteries

Renewable energy sources like wind and solar need a storage system capable of charging and discharging to relieve the power grid. Instead of building new infrastructure, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering imagines a system built from half-used EV batteries.
