Vision
A Message from the Dean
The goal of the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering is to be one of the leading and defining engineering schools in the world—a school known for the quality of its students, its stellar research programs, and an environment that fosters innovation and leadership.
Education
Our students are our most important product, and it is our mission to educate tomorrow's technology leaders. This requires
more than the best possible training in basic science and engineering. In addition, Jacobs' graduates should be known for
their ability to communicate and work in multi-disciplinary teams, their integrative thinking, and their general knowledge
in information technology (IT), independent of their field of engineering. All of the above provides our students with the
flexibility to adapt to the rapidly changing job market.
Research Priorities
Today, engineering is at the core of our technology-driven society. From advances in medicine and management of the
environment to national safety and security, engineering provides innovations to improve our quality of life. Engineering's
changing role in society clearly shapes our mission as a leading engineering school.
Innovation and Competitiveness
Surrounded by San Diego's diversified and thriving technology industry, the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering is in a unique
position to educate students who are not only creative thinkers, but also have the ability to evaluate the potential of their
discoveries. We can and will assist our students and faculty in turning their discoveries into useful and marketable products.
Creativity, innovation, and teamwork are the attributes that will provide for a sustainable high-technology workforce and will
form the basis for our nation's continued technological and economic leadership.
