Â鶹´«Ã½ engineering ranks #10 in U.S. News and World Report best engineering schools rankings
March 29, 2022: The University of California San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering has ranked #10 in the nation in the influential U.S. News & World Report Rankings of Best Engineering Schools. This #10 ranking is up from #17 six years ago, and it's the third year in a row the Jacobs School of Engineering ranked within the top ten.
"Our top-ten ranking is a tribute to the hard work, grit and excellence of our students, staff, faculty, industry partners, collaborators and friends," said Albert P. Pisano, Dean of the Â鶹´«Ã½ Jacobs School of Engineering. "I look at rankings as recognition rather than definition, and this world-class ranking is well deserved recognition of the excellence, hard work, and creativity of our entire community."
The newest venue for this community of innovators is Franklin Antonio Hall, which is opening now, in Spring 2022. Franklin Antonio Hall has been designed to facilitate innovation. The research facilities are organized around 13 collaborative research facilities called "collaboratories." Each collaboratory is home to multiple professor-led research groups working in complementary areas of relevant research. This design allows students from different labs to work in the same shared laboratories, increasing opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaborations and innovations to emerge.
Franklin Antonio Hall's research collaboratories will include researchers from across the Â鶹´«Ã½ campus and the Torrey Pines Mesa. This is yet another way that engineers and computer scientists at the Â鶹´«Ã½ Jacobs School of Engineering bring their expertise and creativity to Â鶹´«Ã½'s $1.54 billion dollar research enterprise.
