Engineers have achieved a long-sought milestone in photonics: creating tiny optical devices that are both highly sensitive and durable. This work could lead to a new generation of photonic devices that are not only precise and powerful but also much easier and cheaper to produce at scale. Full Story
The Jacobs School of Engineering will celebrate the undergraduate students in the class of 2025 at its annual Ring Ceremony on Friday, June 13. Six students were selected from the nearly 1,500 students receiving bachelor’s degrees from the Jacobs School of Engineering to receive an Award of Excellence from their academic department.

All F-1 and J-1 students are required to be enrolled full-time (12 units or more) while at UCSD during the academic year (Fall, Winter and Spring quarters). A Reduced Course Load Form (RCL) is a type of student status that allows you to enroll below 12 units.
Optional Practical Training (OPT) is a type of employment authorization for F-1 students. It is an opportunity to pursue a 12-month period of work experience in your major field of study. The authorization can be used for a paid position located on-campus or off-campus, both before (Pre-Completion OPT) or after completion of course requirements (Post-Completion OPT).

ECE Courses (Undergradutes & Graduate Courses)
ECE undergraduate students are prioritized for ECE undergraduate courses. ECE graduate students are prioritized for ECE graduate courses. Unfortunately, ECE grads cannot waitlist in undergraduate courses- they need to be cleared to enroll via the EASy system.
Any student who is deviating from courses that are listed in the degree planner will need to petition for a course substitution request. This course substitution request will allow you to ask your Curriculum Advisor for permission to deviate from the degree planner. Your primary M.S. advisor will contact you with the outcome of your request(s) and let you know when the degree audit has been updated, if applicable.
The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department traces its roots back to the establishment of the Applied Electrophysics department in 1965, under its founding chair Henry Booker. Through a succession of department realignments emerged today’s ECE in 1987, when the then-combined Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department was split into two departments. Since then, ECE has earned a world-class reputation for producing top-notch engineers for industry and academia.
