Students from SCU's School of Engineering and California College of the Arts want Gov. Schwarzenegger to come check out the solar-powered house they're building. Watch a video of the top ten reasons why.

Following the successful launch Tuesday of NASA's PharmaSat nanosatellite from Wallops Flight Facility and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport located at Wallops Island, Va., students from SCU’s Robotics Systems Laboratory (RSL) are working around the clock conducting all mission operations for the satellite. PharmaSat rode to orbit aboard a four-stage Air Force Minotaur 1 rocket. Also aboard were the Air Force Research Laboratory's TacSat-3 satellite and three other four-inch cubed satellites developed by universities and industry.

SCU's commitment to entrepreneurship is paying off as engineers form start-ups in the solar and textbook rental fields. Read about it in the San Jose Business Journal.

Santa Clara University's Center for Nanostructures (CNS) has received $1,328,000 in continuation funding from the U.S. Army to support "Thermal and Electrical Nanoscale Transport [TENT].  The award now totals $4,355,998.
 
With the goal of designing, fabricating, and testing a lightweight, low-resistance (electrical and thermal), longer-lasting chip using new carbon-based interconnect and thermal interface materials, the Center for Nanostructures initiated its thermal and electrical nanoscale transport (TENT) project in February 2007. Cary Yang, principal investigator and CNS director, said the five-year project  "is a timely response to the current need of integrated circuit manufacturers for enhanced performance and increased reliability in their most advanced products."
 
Funding for both undergraduate and graduate student research assistants is included in the budget.

As part of the School of Engineering's celebration of National Engineers Week, Maynard Webb, Chairman and CEO of LiveOps will give a keynote address to students and alumni on February 19, 6 p.m.
