The University of California system has awarded UC Riverside a $549,785 grant to expand efforts to diversify its engineering faculty. The award from the UC Office of the President aims to increase faculty diversity in UCR’s Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering, or BCOE, by recruiting and mentoring prospective candidates before they formally enter the academic job market.

UC Riverside engineering students are benefiting from hands-on technical experiences to prepare for careers in advanced electronic engineering fields, thanks to equipment and software donations from Keysight Technologies.  The state-of-the-art equipment from Keysight, an electronic design and test solutions company based in Santa Rosa, Calif., includes high-performance oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, and waveform generators. 

While artificial intelligence, or AI, is transforming industries, its environmental impact is often overlooked. Shaolei Ren, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at UC Riverside, took to a TED Talk stage last fall in Vienna, Austria, to discuss a hidden consequence of AI’s rapid expansion.

The student team behind an exceptional Senior Design Showcase project used words like “unbelievable” and “family” to describe their experiences working together
