College Description

Engineering College Description and Special Characteristics

Undergraduates are able to begin their engineering coursework in the freshman year and are admitted as freshmen to the major, and are provided opportunites to become involved in research. Students can also enter the School as an Undeclared engineering major and participate in an overview course which introduces all engineering majors prior to committing to the major. Undergraduates can also minor in a variety of minors throughout the university or within 13 minors within the Viterbi School of Engineering. A variety of special programs and services are offered in support of undergraduate students. The USC Viterbi School of Engineering also supports an interactive Distance Education Network designed to enable part-time students to take courses for graduate credit without commuting frequently to campus. Regular campus classes and non-credit continuing education courses are transmitted from studio classrooms at the USC campus via an extensive webcast system to enable students to access their classes anytime, from anywhere. Live instruction can be highly interactive; students can ask questions and carry on discussions with the instructor by telephone (if watching live) or via threaded online chat discussions. Video conferencing during live instruction is also available upon request. Lectures are archived and are available for viewing again at any time during the semester. E-mail allows students to obtain assistance from the instructor or teaching assistant outside of class hours. Class materials are transferred electronically between distant locations.

The following text was offered to each school as a guideline for the calculation of externally-funded research expenditures:

Include all expenditures associated with grants and contracts specifically budgeted for externally sponsored research and associated programs and expenditures associated with all gifts auditably used for research. Include expended funds provided by the following external sources:

Federal Government
State Government
Foreign Governments
Industry
Non-Profit Organizations (e.g. foundations)
Individuals
Local Government

The expenditures reported should be only those funds provided by organizations, agencies, and individuals external to the institution. Cost sharing/matching funds should be included only if provided from sources external to the institution.

Only State government funds that were obtained competitively or as matching funds associated with other externally funded programs should be included. State funds that are part of the normal operating budget should not be included regardless of purpose.

For all joint or contracted projects or sub-projects, only the portion of the center research performed by faculty, staff, and students of the affiliated engineering school should be credited to that school. Expenditures for capital costs of research laboratory building construction should not be included.

Expenditures for research laboratory renovations should not be included unless the renovation funds expended came from grants and contracts expressly intended for the direct support of engineering research.

Any portion of academic year and/or summer salary for any researcher that is not derived from external research grants or contracts should not be counted.

Total #: Report total number of individual grants, not the total dollar amount of the expenditures.

Expenditures: Report actual expenditures (as opposed to authorization amounts) in U.S. dollars.

Time frame for expenditures: Report expenditures for your current fiscal year.

Research centers listed as "WITHIN an engineering department" on the Research Centers page (screen 7) of the College of Engineering Profile, will not have their expenditures added to the school's total research expenditures. Such expenditures can be included in the department total, while still being listed for the appropriate center. This allows users to list the expenditures in two areas without double-counting.

Directors: Vasilis Marmarelis and David D'Argenio.
Biomimetic MicroElectronic Systems Center: The Biomimetic MicroElectronic Systems (BMES) Engineering Research Center will integrate microelectronics and microelectromechanical devices yielding implantable microsystems designed to treat intractable medical conditions. The development of such technologies will not only result in implantable prosthetic devices but will contribute immensely towards drug delivery and drug sensing platforms as well. In so doing, the ERC will demonstrate the market opportunity represented by medical microelectronics. A vital component of the BMES ERC will be the involvement of industry in the research and education programs of the ERC. Industry partners will directly influence the training of the next generation of microelectronics and medical device engineers and will participate in the discovery of new technology with application beyond the medical arena. The coordinated efforts of multidisciplinary research groups at the University of Southern California, the California Institute of Technology, and the University of California at Santa Cruz will yield devices for treatment of blindness, paralysis, and memory loss, areas in which the group collectively has more experience then any other consortium. The potential benefit to society comes not only from alleviating human suffering, but also from reducing the government resources now directed to assist people with disabilities. Even if only 20,000 blind patients were helped for 20 years, an estimated 4 billion federal dollars would be saved. To realize engineered systems to treat human disease, the BMES ERC will focus on enabling technologies such as mixed signal VLSI systems on chip (SoC), power management technology, and interface technology (i.e., novel substrates and polymers) using micro and nano electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS).
