When the Fowler School of Engineering was launched in 2019, there was a shared vision for connecting engineering broadly across campus and throughout the community via a ‘human-centered’ approach to creating new technologies. That vision became a reality with the opening of the Swenson Family Hall of Engineering in 2021. Since that time, Swenson Hall
This past summer, the Center for Undergraduate Excellence (CUE) hosted their annual Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF). SURF is an eight-week, paid, and on-campus opportunity for Chapman undergraduates to conduct research under faculty supervision. For this year’s research cycle, CUE selected five Fowler School of Engineering students to participate in the program. One of those

A team of Fowler School of Engineering (FSE) students developed ShotBot, a drink delivery device used to improve efficiency and cut operating costs in restaurants and bars. According to the ShotBot team’s research, 37 percent of restaurants reopening after the pandemic in California are unable to pay their rent and 350,000 restaurant jobs remain unfilled.
To many, Halloween is a time for tricks and treats, howls and haunts. For many students in the School of Engineering, the scariest yet most fulfilling moment of the holiday season involved presenting custom-made costume pieces to the children at Higher Ground, an after school nonprofit dedicated to supporting Orange County youth who face significant
On a Tuesday afternoon, Fowler School of Engineering (FSE) converted part of the Swenson Hall of Engineering into a mock interview workshop. The mock interview were conducted by Panasonic Avionics, a company dedicated to providing customized in-flight entertainment and maintaining communications devices to airlines worldwide. During the session, Human Resource (HR) recruiters, hiring managers, and
Chapman’s commitment to research in artificial intelligence and the data sciences is more powerful than ever. That’s because the university’s students and faculty researchers now have at their fingertips one of the fastest supercomputer clusters in the region. The new computer system, capable of performing 8 quadrillion calculations a second, is the product of Chapman’s
Recently, Dr. Jenny Woo, TEDx speaker and founder/CEO of Mind Brain Emotion, hosted a workshop on Emotional Intelligence and Career Readiness. The workshop came from a collaborative effort between Fowler School of Engineering (FSE) and Schmid College of Science and Technology. Throughout the workshop, Dr. Woo educated 20 students on the concept of emotional intelligence,
Faculty Name: Dr. Mark Harrison Courses Taught: CPSC 230, CPSC 351, EENG 410 (starting spring 2023) Current Research: I work on designing integrated nanophotonic devices (really small circuits that guide light) for information processing applications (improving communication and computing networks). We use powerful computer simulation tools to design the devices, get them fabricated, then we test
At the end of the spring semester, Dodge College of Film and Media Studies hosts the Student Work Showcase as a senior thesis required to graduate. Faculty and fellow students assist filmmakers with the film production over the semester. While Dodge students work together to complete their final project, some benefit from reaching out to
