"High energy."
We often hear people describe Engineering and the Sciences at UCSB exactly
that way.
Typically they're referring to our highly productive faculty and motivated students. But in addition
to that, we're increasingly seeing ourselves as "high energy" when it comes to global warming and the
energy crisis.
We're in a great position to make a significant impact increasing the world's energy efficiency; we
already have several well-developed programs and centers on campus with suburb talent and excellent
track records. We are international leaders in:
· Solid state lighting
· Energy-efficient electronics
· Organic photovoltaic materials
· Efficient cars
· Energy enhancement for the developing world
