The information exchange is designed to foster research collaborations between industry and UC San Diego faculty and to give employers the opportunity to meet graduate students who will soon be entering the workforce. The program includes research talks by faculty in the morning and an open poster presentation by graduate students in the afternoon.
Admission is free.
The event begins with a presentation by Robert Conn, dean of the School of Engineering. He will introduce new faculty, describe research and education highlights, and outline upcoming goals and initiatives. Following Conn's talk, faculty members will describe the latest research and educational advances in areas such as renewal engineering for the civil infrastructure, environmental engineering and water quality issues, technology challenges for the future Internet, tissue engineering to build and repair bone, and more. During the afternoon open poster session, more than 100 of the School's graduate students will be on hand to discuss research in detail. Industry representatives will also display technical exhibits of new product developments.
