Student-Developed ‘FishSense’ Project Collects Data With One Click

Oct 23, 2024 | today.ucsd.edu | Katherine Connor

The FishSense project is making these tasks easier and more accurate. Students have developed an underwater camera with a lidar laser attachment that divers can now use to snap photos of fish they encounter. Data from the photo is then run through the FishSense software to automatically generate an accurate length measurement.
Open-source Semiconductor Chip Design Tool Celebrates Success

Oct 16, 2024 | today.ucsd.edu | Katherine Connor |Daniel Kane

Published Date October 16, 2024 Article Content In 2018, a team of the nation’s leading semiconductor experts from industry and academia began a five-and-a-half year journey to complete a moonshot challenge: develop electronic design automation (EDA) tools for 24-hour, no-human-in-the-loop semiconductor chip layout generation. Led by the University of California San Diego and backed with $17.2 million from DARPA, the researchers did it. They overcame complex technical challenges and...
Expanding early access to engineering courses

Oct 3, 2024 | today.ucsd.edu | Katherine Connor

Published Date October 03, 2024 Article Content Last spring, high school students at Chula Vista Learning Community Charter School built a remote controlled LED light; an audio amplifier; 3D printed a design of their own creation; and developed a line-following robot. They learned all the engineering and computer science skills required to complete these team-based, hands-on projects through an award-winning introductory electrical engineering class developed at the University of California...
