Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)

UCLA Engineering has developed generations of rigorously trained engineers and has been the home for solutions to challenges in fields including energy, sustainability, healthcare, communications, transportation, infrastructure and information technology.

The school is known as the Birthplace of the Internet because in 1969 the very first transmission on what would become the Internet was sent from UCLA Engineering’s Boelter Hall. The school is also the birthplace of major innovations in reverse-osmosis technology for clean water, semiconductor design and development, pollution research and more.

Today UCLA Engineering’s 33,000 living alumni are working in more than 60 countries, driving positive change in technology and society. They are inventors, Internet pioneers, entrepreneurs, industry leaders and renowned educators.

Our curriculum offers a hands-on, multidisciplinary education to prepare students to take on the challenges of our times and to make impact in ways that we cannot yet imagine. Our proximity to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the UCLA Anderson School of Management allows us to excel in growing field of biomedical and bioengineering research, as well as entrepreneurship.
