Electrical and computer engineering faculty from UC Davis are part of Northwest AI Hub, a new center funded by the CHIPS and Science Act to advance semiconductor technologies.
The Valley Tech Systems Fellowship offers sponsorships to one undergraduate and graduate student focusing on national security and signals intelligence research per academic year.
For the first time since 2019, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering gathered in person for the 2023 ECExpo at Kemper Hall and the Robert Mondavi Institute on April 7. More than 170 industry partners, alumni and friends participated in the annual meeting to celebrate new developments in education and research in the department.
The event began with an unveiling of newly renovated teaching labs in Kemper Hall that were years in the making.
When it comes to finding the perfect blend for advancing winemaking innovation, American entrepreneur Dr. T.J. Rodgers and his wife, Valeta, have found the answer—funding interdisciplinary research by establishing a fellowship to support electrical and computer engineering graduate students working on wine research at UC Davis.
Keysight Technologies, Inc. contributed to lab upgrades. The upgrades include construction, audio and visual equipment and acquisition of state-of-the-art test and measurement instrumentation for 32 workbenches.
UC Davis’ student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is organizing a crowdfunding campaign through UC Davis to supply electronic equipment to low-income undergraduate ECE students.
Silvaco, a leader in electronic design automation and computer-aided design, has made a substantial software donation to the ECE department; equivalent to $2.2 Million. The design software that Silvaco provides span from atoms to systems, from molecular behavior impacting semiconductor devices, to design and analysis of transistor circuits, and finally to complex intellectual property blocks for systems-on-chips designs.
Texas Instruments (TI) has continued to provide generous support of the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department’s undergraduate teaching labs during the pandemic. This has been especially helpful during the ramp-up of high-quality, hands-on, remote lab instruction. “Texas Instruments supports the engaging learning experience created at UC Davis, especially in this time where remote learning is so critical,” said ChengNing Wang, director of university marketing at Texas Instruments.
Texas Instruments will continue to support student scholarships and hands-on engineering projects, such as EE-Emerge, started and led by Prof. Andre Knoesen
