A donation to UC Irvine‘s engineering school from philanthropists and Anaheim Ducks owners Susan and Henry Samueli will help the university launch three research institutes for health, society and the environment. Susan and Henry Samueli, who UCI’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering is named after, gave the university a $50 million gift which will allow the university to create the research institutes under the banner “Engineering+.” “The gift is actually going to really transform how we think about the role of engineering broadly,” said Magnus Egerstedt, dean of the engineering school. “What this gift is allowing us to do is set up a structure that allows us to really become deeply collaborative and multidisciplinary in a way that you really haven’t seen much.” [Subscription required, campus-wide access provided by UCI Libraries.
