UC Merced School of Engineering

Welcome to the School of Engineering at the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAMERCED . This is an institution that is truly on the rise, and we are quickly taking our place alongside our sister campuses in the most respected public university system in the world. UC Merced is the youngest university ever to receive the Carnegie R2 research classification, and in the U.S. News and World Report “Best Colleges” ranking. We rose more than 60 spots in just two years, nearly cracking the top 100 nationally in just our 15 th academic year. The School of Engineering is making a name for itself, too, showing steady gains in both the undergraduate and graduate program rankings by U.S. News. As you will see on the following pages, researchers in the School of Engineering are doing incredible work, using and developing new technologies to find novel solutions to some of our world’s greatest challenges. We are also contributing to our historically underserved region, connecting students with local businesses to address their needs, and providing resources to budding entrepreneurs both on and off campus.

UC Merced is truly building the future in the heart of California, and the School of Engineering is proud to be a major part of our success as a university.

Sincerely,

Mark Matsumoto Dean, School of Engineering
