As public funding for our state's universities declines and the costs and risks of corporate R&D escalate, there is increasing motivation for forging bonds between academia and industry.
The Bren School is research oriented - even at the undergraduate level - with formal projects addressing hardware, software, algorithm design, artificial intelligence and the societal impacts of computing.
Research orientated education means Bren School students arrive at companies already comfortable on the leading edge and poised to make an immediate impact.
In addition to students, our world renowed faculty work with outside companies and frequently collaborate with professionals in other academic areas to create even greater synergy.
This results in a combination of corporate insight, faculty guidance and student energy that has proven time and again to be the spark that ignites tomorrow’s products and services.
