Future Engineers, Designers, and Creatives Unite! Have you ever seen a 3-D printer in action? We are sure these are the "droids" you are looking for. Who needs a Light Saber when you can cut with a Laser! Come check out our NEW Engineering Student Design Center.
Ali J. Gangeh is pioneering UC Davis to the stars by leading the team building the university’s first liquid rocket engine. Gangeh is a sophomore undergraduate student studying mechanical engineering. Arriving at Davis, Gangeh expressed an interest in a variety of campus clubs but couldn’t find the perfect fit for his passions.
The Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society and the Banatao Institute (CITRIS) at the University of California, Davis, hosted a cohort of 25 high school students for a three-day CITRIS-INSPIRE summer workshop (June 5-7) to provide them a glimpse into the world of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics.
The Diane Bryant Engineering Student Design Center officially opened on May 5, 2023
Bryant '85, contributed $6.5 million to the project — the largest outright gift ever by an individual to the College of Engineering. Construction of the 23,000-square-foot space took just under two years at a cost of $22 million — all donor funded. The space houses new machinery and features a welding room, a carpentry and plastics room, a composites wet lab and more.
With new buildings come new traditions — at least, that's the challenge Randy Carney, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, gave himself when stepping into the Diane Bryant Engineering Student Design Center with a unique opportunity.
UC Davis students now have expanded access to advanced engineering equipment, in a space all their own, largely because of a woman who looked beyond the career paths her parents laid out for her.
