Current Students

Welcome to the Henry Samueli School of Engineering at UC Irvine, one of the nation's fastest growing engineering schools, attracting talented faculty and students from across the nation and abroad. Its mission is to provide outstanding education to graduate and undergraduate students through a combination of classroom learning and laboratory research experience, distinguishing itself through an emphasis on cross-disciplinary research and education. Working in partnership with state and federal agencies and industry, the school facilitates the transfer of research to industry in order to develop applications that benefit society.

Engineers use science, imagination, and experience to create products and services that benefit society. In Western history, milestones in human development have been measured by advances in engineering - from the Stone Age to the Information Age. These advances have allowed society to shift its focus from survival to cultural enrichment. You see the products of engineers around you every day: pharmaceuticals and prosthetics, mass transportation systems and civic works, alternative energy sources, and the Internet.

The Henry Samueli School of Engineering provides students with a comprehensive, effective education and strives to create leaders in the discipline. Students receive a broad background in the basic engineering sciences balanced with training in the application of these principles to modern engineering design problems. Advances in technology and science are rapidly incorporated into the curriculum so students will be prepared to apply cutting-edge technology in their professional practice. Communication and interpersonal skills are fostered throughout the curriculum, which stresses oral presentation skills, technical writing, and team interaction. Graduates are well equipped to succeed in today's engineering marketplace or to pursue advanced study.
