UC Irvine will be the first university in the U.S. to offer a professional master’s in embedded and cyber-physical systems (MECPS). Set to enroll its inaugural class of students in fall 2017, the one-year full-time master’s program will train students in the foundation, skills and hands-on practices of embedded and cyber-physical systems design, optimization and evaluation.
Professor Jeffrey L. Krichmar of CECS was awarded the 2017 Proof of Product (POP) Grant for his interactive robotic device used as therapy for children with developmental disorders. The POP Grant provides funds of up to $125,000 to campus entrepreneurs to move promising early technologies closer to commercialization. As part of The BIG Initiative, the grant bridges the gap between promising UCI research and commercialization and spurs regional economic development.
