Since its inception as the College of Engineering in 1945, the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science has been on the cutting-edge of technological advances. In addition to its strengths in such traditional engineering programs as aerospace, electrical engineering and computer science, the School is advancing research in the evolving fields of wireless communications and networking, micromachines, smart materials, earthquake analysis and biomedical engineering. The School continues to attract outstanding faculty members and exceptional students from around the world and offers more than 30 academic and professional degree programs as well as an interdepartmental graduate degree in biomedical engineering. The curriculum encompasses basic science and also includes significant exposure to the humanities, social sciences and fine arts to educate students about their responsibility to create, protect and manage technology with regard for ethics, human values and social benefit. |
2000-'01
MILESTONES INCLUDE:
Researchers led by Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering Professor Jason Speyer have designed an instrument that makes
it easier for pilots to fly multiple aircraft in a V-formation, much like
a flock of Canadian geese. The device, which is being tested for NASA,
measures the relative position, velocity and altitude of the planes while
they are flown in formation. This technology could be used for military
purposes, or it could greatly reduce fuel costs for the overnight delivery
service providers in the cargo plane industry.
Computer
Science Professor Stefano Soatto has developed a way to endow computers
with a “sense of vision,” expanding the potential role of computers in
such areas as robotics, mass customization of products, special effects
and medicine. Soatto’s team demonstrated in July 2000 a computer system
that can track an object’s movement and shape in real time. They
continue to work on enabling computers to analyze and recognize complex
visual phenomena such as detecting objects within tree foliage, ocean
waves and smoke.
Civil
and Environmental Engineering Associate Professor John Wallace leads a
team that has begun developing testing and monitoring equipment that will
serve as the “eyes and ears” of a nationwide earthquake engineering
research network. The George E. Brown Jr. Network for Earthquake
Engineering Simulation (NEES) is an $87-million project funded by the
National Science Foundation that brings together 11 institutions in a
cooperative network that will allow them to share data and equipment. |
