6/16/09At ENSPIRE Engineering Undergrads Inspire Local Eighth Graders
Imagine 420 eighth graders arriving at your doorstep and expecting you to inspire, teach, entertain and feed them all day. This is exactly the challenge the undergraduates from UC San Diego’s Jacobs School of Engineering took on earlier this year at ENSPIRE, one of the many events that make up Engineers Week at UC San Diego.

6/8/09Toward Cheaper Imaging Systems for Identifying Concealed Weapons on the Human Body
Electrical engineers from UC San Diego have created high-performance W-Band silicon-germanium (SiGe) radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) for passive millimeter-wave imaging. This advance could lead to significantly less expensive imaging systems for identifying concealed weapons, for helping helicopters to land during dust storms, and for high frequency data communications. Electrical engineers from UC San Diego presented this circuit at the 2009 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium. This work was also selected as one of the best three student papers at RFIC 2009.

Facebook Games for a Better Music Search Engine
Facebook Games for a Better Music Search Engine
Electrical engineers at UC San Diego created games on Facebook in order to improve their experimental music search engine that is capable of listening to new songs and accurately labeling them with words—with no help from humans. These computer-labeled songs can then be retrieved later when someone types these same words into the cutting-edge music search engine. In April, the engineers launched the music discovery games on Facebook as an application called Herd It (http://apps.facebook.com/herd-it).
