Major Research Centers
CCC
Researchers in the Center for Cell Control hope to effect
critical changes in the treatment of diseases by directly
controlling molecular circuitries in cells.
CENS
The Center for Embedded Networked Sensing is
developing embedded networked sensing systems and applying
this revolutionary technology to critical scientific and
social applications.
CMISE
By mimicking the cell’s information processing
abilities, the Institute for Cell Mimetic Space Exploration
will establish a model for space-system design that will
redefine space exploration technology.
CNID
The Center for Nanoscience Innovation for Defense
is a joint effort with UC Santa Barbara and UC Riverside
to facilitate the rapid transition of research in the nanosciences
into applications for the defense sector.
FENA
Based on the latest advances in nanotechnology,
molecular electronics and quantum computing, the Functional
Engineered Nano Architectonics Focus Center will extend
semiconductor technology further into the realm of the nanoscale.
SINAM
The Center for Scalable and Integrated Nano Manufacturing
will transform laboratory science into industrial applications
in nanoelectronics and biomedicine, creating the next generation
of nanotools and systems that will enable cost-effective
nanomanufacturing.
WIN
One of the world's largest joint research programs focusing
on spintronics, the Western Institute of Nanoelectronics
brings together nearly 30 eminent researchers to explore
critically-needed innovations in semiconductor technology.

The UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and
Applied Science has contributed to this nation’s pursuit of
knowledge and technology since it was established in 1945 as the
UCLA College of Engineering. Today, the School has a versatile program
of teaching and research that places it among the top 10 engineering
schools in public universities nationwide. The
School offers outstanding student research opportunities. Students
in every department are given the opportunity to work alongside
faculty members who are leaders in their field, including any
of our 22 members of the National Academy of Engineering. Exceptional
undergraduates are often paired with experienced graduate student
mentors to participate in hands-on laboratory and field work,
or collaborate directly with their professors testing technologies,
building prototypes and conducting experiments.
The School has several world-class interdisciplinary research
centers, which collectively reflect a campus-wide effort that
involves groundbreaking research spanning multiple disciplines.
Exciting research opportunities exist for undergraduate and graduate
students in all of these centers. Visit any Center web site from
our list of centers to learn more.
The School’s seven departments – bioengineering,
chemical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, computer
science, electrical engineering, materials science and engineering,
and mechanical and aerospace engineering – offer 28 academic
and professional degree programs as well as an interdepartmental
graduate degree program in biomedical engineering. Examples of
current research include:
- the 21st century Internet
- nano- and micro-electromechanical (MEMS) devices
- wireless electronics
- smart materials engineering
- embedded sensors
- earthquake engineering
- nanomanufacturing
- metabolic engineering
- biomedical informatics
- environmental cleanup and waste management
Historic “firsts” from UCLA Engineering
include seminal studies of air pollution in the 1950s, the invention
of the reverse osmosis water desalination process in the 1960s,
and the birth of the Internet at UCLA with the connection of the
first node on Sept. 2, 1969.
