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 10,200 engineering and computer science students, we are a powerful force for the public good.
At the same time, the Jacobs School is an engine of collaboration. As the largest engineering school in California and on the West Coast, we have the capacity to collaborate at large scale. By way of research and workforce development efforts with industry, government and philanthropic partners, we propel many emerging industries forward, including:
Fusion Engineering
We are leaders in California and across the country in fusion engineering. With collaborations linking national laboratories, universities, industry leaders and government partners, 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.
Future 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 Future Biomanufacturing Center at UC San Diego.
AI in Education/Emerging Intelligence
With generative AI tools, software innovation, and teaching excellence, we have launched a scalable AI Tutor platform that improves learning inside and outside the classroom. We also launched an artificial intelligence major. These are just two of many Jacobs School efforts aimed at creating and harnessing the power of emerging intelligence to advance education and research for the public good.
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.
