Welcome to the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE) at UC Irvine.
Welcome to the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE) at UC Irvine.
The development of advanced materials is critical to solving national problems in clean energy, human welfare and national security, and a strong manufacturing research and development effort is necessary for the U.S. to compete in a global economy. The Samueli School of Engineering is well poised as a technology leader in both areas. Researchers are recognized as pioneers in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnology, and have made groundbreaking developments in the design and construction of new materials.
Hydrogen gas is charged in kilograms, rather than gallons. It currently costs about $12 per kilogram. The equivalent gasoline cost is about $6 per gallon. University of California, Irvine researchers project that hydrogen will be cost-competitive with gasoline by 2030. Read More
Welcome to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at UC Irvine. We design infrastructure systems essential to economic activity, study interactions between environmental and human systems, and strive to build a healthier, more sustainable, and equitable world.
Maaikee Pronda, the reigning Miss Fountain Valley, was crowned second runner-up at the Miss California competition in Fresno Friday. … At age 20, Pronda earned her bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering at UC Irvine .… She graduated magna cum laude from both Fountain Valley High School and UC Irvine. At UCI, she was president of the Engineering Student Council and initiated “Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day,” which partnered local companies with Girls Scouts and their parents during an interactive learning event.
