A student engineering project that began with using artificial intelligence (AI) to track cafeteria forks transformed into a system that will help Orlando Health surgeons perform robotic surgeries more efficiently. Laura Brattain, a UCF biomedical engineer, mentored six College of Engineering and Computer Science seniors, who developed the AIMS (AI for Medical Surgery) system that keeps track of…

Faculty members across the College of Engineering and Computer Science achieved significant career milestones in earning promotions and tenure for the 2024-25 cycle. The approved faculty — 11 for promotion and five for promotion and tenure — underwent a rigorous performance evaluation by peers, college and university leaders that took nearly an academic year. The…

The university will play a supporting role in a regional research hub that will develop digital twin technology to improve semiconductor chip manufacturing. At the heart of every electronic device is a semiconductor chip. These tiny circuits can improve fuel efficiency in your car, allow your computer to process and store data, or enable you…

The program prepares qualified electrical engineering and computer science doctoral students to work at Research 1 universities.   In an effort to prepare doctoral students for careers in academia, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has launched the Future Faculty Laureates Program. The goal is to recognize and prepare engineering students interested in careers…

UCF Assistant Professor Jaesung Lee is collaborating with the University of Florida to develop and refine a magnetic levitation system that could help improve the performance of inertia sensors for a wide variety of applications such as accelerometers or gyroscopes. UCF and the University of Florida are receiving $1.2 million over two years from Defense…

In July, UCF’s College of Engineering and Computer Science partnered with Intel to provide a hands-on experience for students and local teachers interested in semiconductors. By: UCF News | September 19, 2024 A group of 12 UCF students and faculty enriched their understanding of semiconductor manufacturing through the Semiconductor Manufacturing and Advances in Recent Technologies…

  A new undergraduate certificate in semiconductor manufacturing from the UCF Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering aims to address the critical need for specialized training in this field. The Semiconductor Engineering and Manufacturing Instruction (SEMI) certificate, available this fall, is designed for students interested in one of the most ubiquitous yet hidden elements in…

  The UCF College of Engineering and Computer Science is making an impact in areas such as hypersonic technology, nanomedicine and biomedical engineering, and robotics and autonomous systems – and has hired a new group of faculty who will enhance its reputation in these fields. Seventeen new faculty members will join four of the six…

The AI technologies developed will allow autonomous systems, such as drones and self-driving cars, to navigate unexpected variables. Autonomous systems, such as self-driving cars and unmanned aircraft, learn from modeling and simulation. However, the training process can take months to years, and it doesn’t account for the uncertainty found in the real world. In the world…

A year into his career at UCF, Assistant Professor Di Wu shares what drew him to Knight Nation, what he’s working on and how ducklings play a role in his daily routine.   Di Wu, an assistant professor in the UCF Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, was one of 12 new faculty who came…
