WE POWER EMERGING INDUSTRIES
The UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering trains the innovation workforce for the economy to come. We power the success of emerging industries all across the region and the nation – one student at a time. With more than 9,000 engineering and computer science students, we are a powerful force for the public good. Through education, research and industry partnerships, we propel many emerging industries forward, including:
Fusion Engineering
We are leaders in California and across the country in fusion engineering. With collaborations linking universities, industry and government expertise, we are pursuing the fundamental and applied advances needed to make fusion energy a practical reality. At the same time, we are driving key workforce development efforts in fusion.
The UC San Diego Fusion Engineering Institute is the place to learn more.
Healthcare Engineering
Our strengths in ultra-low-power hardware, artificial intelligence (AI), privacy and security, sweat sensing, and more represent opportunities to drive clinical-grade wearable biometric sensing at scale. Research partnerships with UC San Diego’s forward-thinking Health System mean transformational advances can reach the clinic.
Learn more at our Center for Wearable Sensors at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering.
Domestic Biomanufacturing
We are building a domestic manufacturing base driven by microbes. With R&D partnerships and workforce development, we seek to make biomanufacturing cost-competitive by leveraging our unique capabilities in design, advanced data analytics, AI and robotics.
Connect with our biomanufacturing ecosystem.
AI Tutors/Emerging Intelligence
With generative AI tools, software innovation, and teaching excellence, we have created a scalable AI Tutor platform aimed at improving learning inside and outside the classroom. This is just one of a series of computer science and electrical engineering efforts aimed at creating and harnessing the power of emerging intelligence for the public good.
Learn about our AI Tutors and the Laboratory for Emerging Intelligence here at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering.
New Approaches to Semiconductors
California DREAMS (Defense Ready Electronics And Microdevices Superhub) is an easy-access platform for the design and manufacture of prototypes of advanced electronic modules such as heterogeneous semiconductors. This platform is a national resource for the U.S. microelectronics industry, and UC San Diego is a key player in this semiconductor ecosystem.
