Invent the Future

Bourns Engineering is dedicated to educating the next generation of engineering and science leaders to discover and apply groundbreaking solutions and innovations that improve the quality of life. As part of the University of California, one of the world's great institutions for research and education, Bourns has quickly risen to the top of its field in faculty research.

Though scarcely 20 years old, Bourns engineers are already making important contributions around the world as well as in our home region of inland Southern California, a high- tech center and one of the fastest growing areas in the nation.

Bourns graduate and undergraduate engineering programs rank among the top schools in the nation in U.S. News & World Report. There are larger programs, and there are older schools, but there may be no other engineering college that combines opportunities for close student-faculty collaboration both in the classroom and in the laboratory.

If you have been admitted or are considering applying to UCR as an engineering major, you should visit The Bourns Difference website to learn more, or watch the slide show about why Bourns can help shape your future.
