    UCI’s engineering school was renamed The Henry Samueli School of Engineering on Oct. 19, 2000, after Samueli, co-founder, chairman and chief technical officer of Broadcom Corp., made a generous donation in December 1999.

    Samueli, who earned bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering from UCLA, began his career at TRW, Inc., where he was responsible for the development of military broadband communications systems. Later, he was chief scientist and co-founder of PairGain Technologies, Inc. a telecommunications equipment manufacturer.

    To reduce reliance on fossil fuels in industries where electricity is impractical, unreliable or too expensive, California is building a massive “hydrogen hub” to generate a steady supply of an alternative fuel with no carbon emissions — bringing us closer, say advocates, to a completely green future. “It’s the beginning of the investment that must be made if we are to meet our zero-emission policy goals,” said UC Irvine engineering professor Jack Brouwer, director of the university’s Clean Energy Institute and an interim director for business development on the hub’s leadership team.

  • How eroding beaches led to a Calif. commuting nightmare

    A disappearing California beach is partly behind the weekslong closure of one of Amtrak's busiest routes in the latest example of how changing weather patterns and eroding shorelines pose a threat to the state's coastal rail corridor. … “That stretch of the coast has really lost a significant amount of sand over the last decade or two,” said Brett Sanders, professor of civil and environmental engineering at University of California, Irvine.

  • Half Their Land Burned in a Decade: The California Counties Constantly on Fire

    Over the past decade, most California counties have seen double the area burned compared with the area burned in the previous decade. … It’s not necessarily the case that more large fires are burning now than in previous decades, but the ones that do ignite are charring through much more land, according to Tirtha Banerjee, a professor and wildfire researcher at the University of California, Irvine. “What that says to me is that fires are getting more intense and more severe, and behaving in more unexpected ways,” he said.

  • Henry Samueli Endowed Fellowship

    One of the premier awards offered to incoming or continuing graduate students in the school. This award is funded by Henry Samueli, co-founder of Broadcom Corporation, after whom the school is named. The award is open to Ph.D. students showing exceptional promise of technical and scholarly work in civil and environmental engineering. The number of awards and amounts varies each year.

  • How well could your community withstand a major flood? It could be riskier than you think

    In a state severely hobbled by drought and wildfires, flood concerns may not seem top-of-mind. But a new study out of UC Irvine found that Los Angeles County's aging flood systems may not be ready for a major flood. "Right now, our research suggests that our infrastructure and the way we've built it out is much more vulnerable to this type of event than I think anyone would have guessed," said Brett Sanders, a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UCI and one of the authors of the paper.

  • Hydrogen cars flopped, but fuel cells are finding new life in trucks and boats

    Jacob [Jack] Brouwer was one of those early adopters of hydrogen. … But these days, he drives a Tesla. It doesn’t reflect well on hydrogen when the director of UC Irvine’s Clean Energy Institute has decided that a car made by Elon Musk is preferable to one that runs on fuel cells. He blames California’s energy regulators for fumbling the rollout, failing to get to the promised 200 stations and leaving the project incomplete. … “Electricity goes to every business,” Brouwer said. “Electricity is available everywhere, but hydrogen isn’t.” He thinks it can get there.

  • How to save energy in your home with these smart, affordable upgrades

    Jack Brouwer, professor of engineering at UCI, recommends: “Let’s start in the kitchen, where appliances suck up the most energy. The best time to run, say, a dishwasher is just before you leave for work or during the day ... That’s when fewer people use these appliances, so it’s helping the grid work more efficiently. And that’s a no-cost change in habit that benefits everyone.”

  • Human Health

    The marriage of engineering and information technology to biological sciences and medicine has enabled tremendous advances, helping improve the length and quality of human life. Artificial organs and limbs, sensors that monitor physiological functions, non-invasive imaging and miniature drug delivery systems are all examples of how engineers apply their tools and know-how to solve problems in medicine. The school’s faculty works closely with UCI School of Medicine researchers and the large number of biotech industry partners in the region to stay at the forefront of bioengineering.
