Engineers Without Borders breaks down barriers internationally and on campus at UC Davis by providing a space for people across majors to get hands-on experience on real-world projects.
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.
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.
UC Davis engineers are investigating new ways to feed a growing population, from fungus-grown jerky to cultivated beef and sustainable systems for wine and coffee.
Dean Richard L. Corsi sits down with Professor of Computer Science Ian Davidson and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Chen-Nee Chuah to discuss the current and near-future roles of artificial intelligence and its real and anticipated implications for society.
Assistant Professor of Computer Science Alexander Gamero-Garrido leads an NSF-funded project to analyze broadband connectivity at schools and libraries. The research aims to lessen the digital equity gap by mapping networks, assessing reliability, enhancing performance and prioritizing underserved communities.
A new video series developed by experts at the UC Davis College of Engineering and California Department of Public Health aims to help building and facility managers better understand how to manage indoor air quality. Better indoor air quality can reduce the spread of airborne diseases such as COVID-19 and improve productivity in schools and workplaces.
A $1.85 million grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation connects UC Davis researchers with peers from five other UCs to build a system-wide network of open source program offices to better educate and sustain the UC open source software community.
