The Engineering Student Council (ESC) at the University of California, Irvine is proud to host our Annual National Engineers Week 2019. Engineers Week will be held from February 25 to March 2, 2019. Events are held throughout the week to encourage student, faculty, alumni, and industry participation.
Extended-Life Glucose Biosensor Array - an array of chips where each chip (roughly 1 inch by 1 inch) will be an extended-life glucose biosensor. In the NSF-sponsored research of Chancellor's Professor Marc Madou, Ph.D., researchers are working on an implantable biosensor for diabetic patients designed to work for six months or longer. Currently, commercial technology allows for only three to seven days of continuous operation of in-vivo glucose sensors.
Scott Samuelsen, director of the National Fuel Cell Research Center at the University of California, Irvine, said data centers could become an important market for fuel cells because the industry “appears to want to be more environmentally sensitive but more reliant on their own resources.”
The educational mission of the Chemical Engineering program is to provide students with a unique interdisciplinary academic foundation on which to continue developing intellectual capacity, and the scholarly training needed to address complex problems in chemical and biomolecular engineering with emphasis on advances in (a) biomolecular engineering and biotechnology, (b) soft matter and complex fluids, and (c) energy processes, conversion, and storage.
