From bioengineering and medical device development, the next chapter of UC Davis' innovation story is set to unfold at Aggie Square. Here is a look at three innovative teams and programs connected to the College of Engineering that are getting ready to call it home.
On April 9, College of Engineering Dean’s Distinguished Speaker Jayathi Y. Murthy engaged faculty, staff and students at the UC Davis Student Community Center by sharing her journey in engineering education and delivering key insights into the future of engineering education and research.
Dean Corsi and his team have tested the durability and effectiveness of his codesigned Corsi-Rosenthal Box, a low-cost DIY filter that removes harmful air particles from wildfire smoke and indoor air pollutants. He’ll share his team’s new findings at the ACS Spring 2025 Spring Digital Meeting.
UC Davis engineering students take their thermodynamics class to the perfect setting — Iceland. Through field trips to geothermal plants, waterfalls and even an aluminum smelting facility, they see firsthand how engineering harnesses energy while exploring one of the most stunning landscapes on Earth.
On February 19, College of Engineering Dean’s Distinguished Speaker Rebecca Richards-Kortum presented her talk, “How Can Engineering Address Needs in Low-Resource Settings? Sustainable Solutions for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health,” at the UC Davis Walter A. Buehler Alumni Center.
The Cube³ Lab, part of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, has developed a new course for first-year students to build community as they learn about and find solutions to the issues women face in STEM fields.
At the UC Davis Student Startup Center, students are creating space for underserved entrepreneurs through Cultural Connections initiatives. Build Black, ElevateHer, Accessible Startups and InnovAmigis foster community, provide resources and champion students to turn bold ideas into reality.
Urban air mobility, AI-driven aerospace design and what’s next in space exploration took center stage at the second annual Northern California Aerospace Symposium, which brought researchers, students and industry leaders to UC Davis to advance aerospace research and collaboration.
At the UC Davis College of Engineering, the concept of "engineering for all" is more than a slogan — it is a call to action, exemplified by programs like Cheng’s Center for Integrated Computing and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Education.
Assistant Professor of Biological and Agricultural Engineering Shamim Ahamed leads a technical assistance and educational effort for the soilless approach to agriculture in the Golden State. The method lets farmers get more out of their water and put less pressure on the state water budget.
