There are seven departments in
the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science,
covering a wide range of technical disciplines. They are all committed
to producing the best and most motivated students to serve California,
the nation and the world while making significant contributions
to research.
Bioengineering
With a preparatory rather than professional focus, the Bioengineering
Department offers an engineering science program for students
who want to develop an in-depth understanding of both biological
and physical sciences and their application to engineered systems.
Chemical
Engineering
The Chemical Engineering Department has established itself as
a destination of choice in the focus areas of energy, the environment,
molecular/cellular bioengineering, process systems engineering
and semiconductor manufacturing, as well as nanoengineering.
Civil
and Environmental Engineering
The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department’s faculty
and students are experts in environmental engineering, hydrology
and water resources, geotechnical engineering, and structural
engineering and mechanics.
Computer
Science
The Computer Science Department is recognized for expertise in
embedded and reconfigurable systems, wireless networking, nomadic
computing, security and privacy, large databases and database
mining, graphics and animation, multimedia systems, computer programming
and cryptography and information security.
Electrical
Engineering
The Electrical Engineering Department has strategic research objectives
in broadband and wireless communications, nanotechnology and bioengineering,
distributed and embedded systems, adaptive and reconfigurable
systems, and computational math and engineering.
Materials
Science and Engineering
The Materials Science and Engineering Department – concerned
with the structure and properties of materials used in modern
technology – focuses on four primary areas: structural materials,
electronic and optical materials, soft materials, and materials
theory
Mechanical
and Aerospace Engineering
The Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department’s research
and educational programs are broadly divided into: fluid mechanics;
heat and mass transfer; manufacturing and design; nano- and microelectromechanical
systems; structural and solid mechanics; and systems, dynamics
and control. |
