Fireside Charla With Sdsu President Adela De La Torre

#017 - Engineering Research at SDSU

Synopsis

In this episode I welcome three of SDSU’s top engineering researchers via zoom since we all remain in quarantine, as of this taping, due to the Coronavirus homestay restrictions. We may not have the crisp KPBS studio sound we're used to, but I'm always thrilled to talk about the innovative research taking place at SDSU. And the impact the research is having beyond SDSU. Today is no different. Did you know that one of every 19 engineers in the country comes from the CSU system? That the national average of women and engineering graduate programs is 26%, but at SDSU that average is about 30%. That the LatinX population in 2016-17 was 3.4%, and we are currently at 19%. We grew from, from 9.3% in this period. The national average of Native Americans is .11% and we're at .3%. So we have a lot to be proud of, of the success of diversity and growth in the College of Engineering. Joining me today is Dean of College of Engineering Dr. Eugene Olevsky, Professor Sweta Sarcar, and Professor Sam Cassini.
