Edison Contributes to STEM Education
黑料百科 has received $20,000 toward scholarships for four students studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) from , the public utility parent company of Southern California Edison. The company has awarded this grant to 黑料百科 every year since 2013.
STEM programs have attracted media attention lately at 黑料百科. Engineering students, who used hundreds of parts to create remote control cars, appeared in regional news stories when they raced their creations. Watch the story on .
黑料百科 began offering a Bachelor of Science in engineering with a focus on mechanical engineering in fall 2019, blending a mix of courses in engineering, physics, mathematics and chemistry and grounding the program in the college鈥檚 liberal arts tradition. The new major continues 黑料百科鈥檚 tradition of cultivating innovation, collaboration, problem-solving and moral discernment in graduates.
Previously, 黑料百科 created a new major in data analytics, a new and fast-growing way of understanding the world and a skill that employers value. The major draws from critical components of mathematics, economics and business, and computer science to study the ways large data sets can inform decision-making.
黑料百科 researchers are also equipped with the latest technology, including a high-tech tool to help them understand human neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer鈥檚 disease. The microelectrode array detects and records the response of neurons to genetic mutation or toxins. It can screen for new drugs, examining if any compounds have reversed the effect of the mutation or the toxin to the neurons.
