This year promises Finally, I am pleased to announce the initial many new research initiatives for students and planning and construction phase of our new faculty, focusing on advancements in all engineering fields Engineering 3 building. Scheduled to open in 2009, this building through interdisciplinary collaboration and teamwork. will primarily house the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department, as well as MEMS and photonic laboratories I am excited to announce that our School has been awarded for the Biomedical Engineering department, offices for faculty nearly $2.9 million over five years to create a new graduate and students, administrative offices, and a spacious 350-seat program called LifeChips, where students will combine the auditorium. Engineering 3 will be conveniently located in the practices of engineering, physical sciences, biological sciences engineering quad in close proximity to the California Institute for and medicine to produce small-scale technologies that benefit Telecommunications and Information Technology, the new human health. This grant is funded by the National Science Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences, and Foundation’s Integrative Graduate Education and Research Natural Sciences II. Traineeship program, and LifeChips will specifically focus on the study of micro and nanotechnology as it applies to life sciences. I look forward to sharing the many new research developments, We look forward to sharing this new program’s progress with student and faculty achievements, alumni successes, and you. upcoming School events for the 2006-07 academic year, and wish you a prosperous fall. I would also like to introduce our 10 new Samueli School faculty members, including H. Kumar Wickramasinghe, professor of Sincerely, electrical engineering and computer science, and The Henry Samueli endowed chair, who is a recognized pioneer in nanotechnology and member of the National Academy of Engineering, and William Cooper, who will serve as the new Nicolaos G. Alexopoulos director of UC Irvine’s Urban Water Research Center, as well as professor of civil and environmental engineering. I am confident that our students and university community will greatly benefit from these new faculty members and all they have to offer in their different areas of expertise and research focuses. Further, I also welcome you to visit our newly renovated Samueli School website at www.eng.uci.edu.
