Jacobs School Photo Booth at UC San Diego Founders' Day Celebration

Here are some of our favorite photos from the Jacobs School of Engineering photo booth at the UC San Diego Founders' Day celebration. We asked people to draw or write down "What will be the next big innovation or invention?"

Renewable energy, health care and space travel / teleporting were popular, but answers spanned a wide range of topics. What will be the next big innovation or invention? How will it change the world? Your life? (Feel free to leave answers in the comments section, or on our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/UCSDJacobs

High resolution versions of these and more photos are on the Jacobs School of Engineering Flickr photostream. Even more photos from the photo booth are on our Facebook page.

A special thanks to Dr. Shu Chien for participating!

Founders' Day Fun this Friday, Nov 18, 2011

Founders' Day fun tomorrow. Check out the Jacobs School of Engineering booth. (Details on Founders' Day in the Union Tribune.)

IEEE Pumpkin Carving Contest / Part 1

Out on Warren Mall, engineering students are carving away. I just overheard one student lament that he "can't write integrals in pumpkin". Perhaps, but he seems to have the exponent thing down no problem. More photos on the Jacobs School Flickr site.  (There are lots of students out there with cameras, so hopefully we'll get some more pictures from IEEE student org soon.)

The event is put on by the UC San Diego student branch of the IEEE. (Read more about UC San Diego IEEE.)

As a Jacobs School undergrad you can:

* use a weather balloon to perform experiments in space

* publish papers in with world-renowned NanoEngineers

*build robotic cars

*have a ton of fun and enjoy the campus

*share the lab bench with bioengineering professors

*build software with NASA

...but don't take my word for it...watch the video and see for yourself.

San Diego is Amazing

San Diego is famous for its beaches and sunshine and proximity to both Mexico and LA. But there is much more. And if you end up coming to UCSD to study or work, you'll have the chance to explore San Diego county. You hear people say that you can hike in the mountains, hang out in the desert and watch the sun set over the ocean all in one day, without leaving San Diego county. It's true. And it's cooler than it sounds. And when we get our winter rains, the wildflowers are amazing.
