Baskin School of Engineering (BSOE)
The Baskin School of Engineering is known for rigorous engineering research with a focus on engineering for social good. From data science, to life and health and cyber-physical systems, BSOE is shaped around the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century. Much of our research takes place in collaborative interdisciplinary centers and institutes, outfitted with modern equipment and instrumentation, and providing opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to work side by side with world-class engineering faculty.
Facilities and resources include class 100 clean rooms, nanofabrication equipment, modern microscopy facilities, ultrafast optics and single particle spectroscopy labs, an immersive virtual reality CAVE lab, modern gaming equipment, and one of the most advanced stem cell research facilities in the western United States.
