The Make Box, a STEM education startup founded by electrical engineering major Kavya Khare, won the Education and Educational Tools sector award and a $5,000 residency award at the 25th annual Big Bang! Business Competition.
From an a-ha moment with LEGO airplanes to discovering a fascination with digital design, we spoke with Shawn Feezer to learn more about his journey to become an Aggie Engineer and his research aspirations when he begins a master's program at UC Davis later this year.
Coming from a background in art and animation, computer engineering student Victoria Lam understands that coding can be a form of creative expression and a powerful tool to solve problems with tangible impacts. Her work is emblematic of the Aggie Engineer's exceptional spirit.
Manjari Talasila believes one of the most meaningful challenges to take on as an engineer is to solve real-world problems stemming from one's immediate environment, exemplifying the outstanding spirit of the Aggie Engineer.
The annual award recognizes the master's student who submitted the best master's thesis in the College of Engineering. This year, it celebrates Noah Glick's outstanding thesis on nonlinear optics, a significant intellectual contribution already shifting academic perspectives on random quasi-phase matching processes.
Each year, the College of Engineering celebrates outstanding faculty with awards that recognize their dedication to ensuring the future of engineering through teaching and research.
Michael C. and Renée Z. Child have made outstanding contributions to the University of California, Davis, including the College of Engineering where Michael received his undergraduate degree in electrical and computer engineering in 1976.
The electrical and computer engineering alum has received the Aggie Service Award from the Cal Aggie Alumni Association for exemplary Aggie Pride and dedication to UC Davis through personal commitment of time and energy, volunteerism and leadership.
Stephen Henderson, B.S. '95, is a shining, if not atypical, example of Aggie Engineering excellence. After earning his electrical engineering degree, he has shown outstanding leadership as a professor of law at the University of Oklahoma, where he is known for his expertise in criminal law and law reform.
SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, has elected Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Jeremy Munday to the status of fellow, following his promotion to senior member in 2023.
