Get Involved
Become an Alumni Mentor.
Join UCLA ONE, which stands for Opportunity, Network and Experience, is our new online network designed to help Bruins do exactly what they’re known for – helping other Bruins. This portal will connect UCLA alumni volunteers with eager students as part of the UCLA Alumni Mentor Program.
Become an Engineering Scholarship Reviewer!
Are you interested in helping award scholarships to exceptional engineering undergraduates? The review period takes place during the month of July and takes no more than 3-4 hours. Each reviewer will be given a one page essay and a list of extracurricular activities for 10-15 applicants. Sign up today to review student scholarship applications! The review period this year is from July 7 – July 21st.

New UCLA Engineering Studies Aim to Slow Battery Aging While Idle
Most batteries spend more than 70% of their lifetime at rest. Yet few studies have examined calendar aging, which is how a battery degrades when it is neither charging nor being used.
UCLA-Led Team Selected for National Science Foundation Quantum Technology Award
A UCLA-led team of physicists, engineers and computer scientists has been selected by the U.S. National Science Foundation for $4 million in funding through the NSF National Quantum Virtual Laboratory, or NQVL, a national initiative designed to accelerate the development of useful quantum technologies and make advanced quantum tools and testbeds available to researchers across the country
UCLA Engineers Observe Quantum Heat Waves at Room Temperature
Efficient heat management in solids is key to advancing the next generation of electronics. However, wavelike heat movement — known as phonon focusing — had only been observed at extremely low, or cryogenic, temperatures, limiting its study and practical use
Biomedical Imaging, Autonomous Vehicle Sensors May Get Boost from AI Designed for Physical Signals
A research team led by UCLA and the University of Rochester has demonstrated a promising evolution of an imaging system designed to capture details within “complex media,” which scatter light, from depicting structures inside body tissue to seeing obstacles through heavy fog
