Attend Santa Barbara's MIT Enterprise Forum on Artificial Intelligence...Friend or Foe?
Exploring the Unfolding Mystery of AI's Impact on Humanity
Is humanity at the dawn of a new age of enlightenment, inspired by benign AI enabled tech; or on an unalterable path to computer driven subservience to AI powered, self-aware machines?
Please join us for a discussion of today's exciting AI enabled technologies, and how to address the common sense moral and ethical questions being created as we expand machines' ability to learn, and implement them as decision making agents in our communities.

UCSB's Capstone Courses- Interdisciplinarity is Growing
|
UCSB's capstone courses represent the final year-long project that engineering students complete as part of their undergraduate education. Traditionally, these projects have been within a single department. For example, mechanical engineering students would be offered projects that challenged them on mechanical engineering problems alone. Last year, UCSB piloted a multidisciplinary engineering course that linked all departmental courses, thus allowing undergraduates the opportunity to tackle problems that transcend a single engineering discipline. This is something that closely mirrors industry and is at the core of UCSB's collaborative culture.
Last year, one of our most visible multidisciplinary capstone projects was the UCSB Hyperloop Pod which will be participating in January's SpaceX Pod Launch competition. The Pod is being designed to travel 218 miles per hour in a partially evacuated tube while using electromagnetic levitation engines to suspend its 550 pound system.

NOW is the Time to get to Know Students
|
Recruiting events are one of the best ways for students to explore jobs, gain industry knowledge and meet hiring decision makers. Fall is the busiest time for companies to host
info sessions and tech talks on campus because it is when all of the top students are choosing their internships or full-time jobs for June. Last year Engineering and Sciences hosted over 70 companies for recruitment activities during a 6 week period.

Find Intellectual Property that is Right for Your Company
|
|
UCSB has a dynamic patent portfolio and demonstrated success in transferring technology into the commercial sector. The invention portfolio is unique because it is "engineering dominated", with approximately 45% of its technologies coming from engineering, including materials. UCSB's portfolio consists of approximately 650 active inventions and it receives approximately 100 new disclosures annually.
Approximately fifty percent of UCSB's inventions are under active licensing arrangements. UCSB works with licensees around the globe. UCSB also maintains an active entrepreneurial community, with an average of 4-7 startup companies formed each year. Through UCSB's history, over 80 startups have been formed based on UCSB research spun out of the university. UCSB startup companies enjoy a high survival rate.
