USC Viterbi School of Engineering

ourses in engineering were first offered at USC in the 1905-06 academic year in the basement of one of the oldest buildings on campus. Today, 170 full-time faculty serve Cabout 1,800 undergraduates and 3,800 graduate students, utilizing state-of-the-art ­laboratories, classrooms, and live interactive high-speed Internet broadcast systems. The USC Andrew and Erna Viterbi School of Engineering’s research program of over $165 million per year is funded through strong ties with government and industry.

The USC Viterbi School is an innovative, elite, internationally recognized engineering school that creates new models of education, research and commercialization firmly rooted in real world needs. It seeks to extend the frontiers of engineering knowledge by encouraging and assisting faculty in the pursuit and publication of research; to stimulate and encourage in its students those qualities of scholarship, leadership and character that mark the true academic and professional engineer; to serve California and the nation in providing for the continuing education of engineer- ing and scientific personnel; and to provide professional engineering leadership in the solution of community, regional, national and global problems. Mechanical engineering student Morgan Clark works in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering’s The USC Viterbi School offers various programs leading to the Bachelor of Science, Master of newly opened “Fab Lab” (Fabrication Laboratory). Outfitted with a suite of precision Science and Engineer degrees; and, through the USC Graduate School, the Doctor of Philosophy tools such as a computer-controlled 3-D router, degree. high-resolution scanner and 3-D printer as well as more traditional tools including a band saw, drill press and belt sander, the new lab allows engineering undergraduates access to a high- tech workshop for their classroom projects and personal pursuits. 550 USC Viterbi School of Engineering
