Senior Class Campaign 2021

The UCLA Samueli Senior Class Campaign honors the transition from student to alumni, with Bruin Engineers coming together and making an impactful gift to the school.  Since 2004 the SCC has flourished under the leadership of engineering seniors, raising over $144,000 to date. In recent years, the SCC has raised funds for the Samueli Covid-19 Community Support Fund (2020), RISE @Engineering Wellness Program (2019), and the CEED Summer Bridge Program (2018).

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, the engineering student groups have stepped up and gone above and beyond to continue to serve Bruin Engineers in the virtual environment. The sense of community and hands-on experience gained through involvement in a club or organization is an invaluable addition to a UCLA Samueli education.  The 2021 UCLA Samueli Senior Class Campaign will be directly supporting these groups to ensure they have the resources they need to hit the ground running when students return to campus in Fall 2021.

Frog-like Hopping Robot Propelled by Twisting Elastic Rods

Roboticists at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and the University of Michigan have shown that elastic rods can be bent and twisted to repeatedly snap between shapes, releasing built-up energy that enables small robots to hop, flip and swim.
