Congratulations to Assistant Professor Dorsa Parviz on receiving a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER Award to explore the fundamental processes behind electron transfer.

By uncovering how electrons move across material surfaces at the nanoscale, Parviz and her research team are building knowledge that could shape the future of semiconductors, energy storage, carbon capture, biosensing, catalysis and more.
The project also invests in the next generation of scientists through hands-on educational outreach and a vertically integrated mentoring program connecting graduate students, undergraduates and local high school students.

Preparing the next generation of engineers takes more than a classroom — it takes strong partnerships.

A growing collaboration between the Fulton Schools and Meade is creating new opportunities for students through internships, mentorship and scholarship support, helping prepare future engineers for careers in Arizona's rapidly expanding data center and cloud infrastructure industries.

This summer, the first cohort of Fulton Schools interns gained hands-on experience working alongside industry professionals, tackling real engineering challenges, developing technical expertise and building the professional skills that will shape their careers.

As Arizona continues to lead in semiconductor manufacturing, AI and cloud computing, partnerships like this are helping ensure students are ready to make an impact from day one.

Meade partnered with the Fulton Schools to create new opportunities for engineering students through internships, mentorship and scholarship support.

What happens when a student capstone project is not a mock assignment, but a live app with real users, real payments and real families depending on it?

For students in the ASU School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of , working with Sport Sitters has offered a close look at what software engineering feels like beyond the classroom. The startup connects families with college athletes for childcare, giving athletes flexible work and giving children active role models.

Through the Fulton Schools capstone program, students are helping Sport Sitters improve outreach, strengthen its app and prepare for growth. Along the way, they are learning how technical decisions affect people, trust and a growing business.

Sport Sitters gives ASU computer science students hands-on experience building for a live marketplace.

“Computer science is having a bit of an identity crisis at the moment.”

Professor Emeritus William E. Lewis has seen this before.

Lewis joined Arizona State University in 1965, when computer science was still emerging as an academic discipline. In 1980, he became the founding chair of ASU’s Department of Computer Science, helping build what would eventually become the ASU School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of .

Along the way, he watched punch cards give way to personal computers, the internet, mobile computing and now generative AI. Each transformation brought questions about jobs, technology and what computer science would become next.

After more than four decades at ASU, Lewis learned not to mistake disruption for decline. In computer science, the moments that look like endings often turn out to be beginnings.

How the founding chair of ASU's computer science department sees today's AI upheaval as another beginning.

How do you keep critical systems powered when sunlight, conventional batteries and access to the electrical grid aren’t reliable options?

For defense applications, remote sensors and other electronic systems are often deployed in environments, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, has received a U.S. Army Research Office Early Career Program Award to investigate materials and device designs for longer-lasting radiovoltaic power sources.al systems for extended periods.

Nick Rolston, an assistant professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at ASU, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, has received a U.S. Army Research Office Early Career Program Award to investigate materials and device designs for longer lasting radiovoltaic power sources.

Rather than developing an operational power system, Rolston and his team will study damage effects and the resilience of materials and device designs to establish a scientific foundation for longer-lasting radiovoltaic power sources.

The three-year award will also support undergraduate and graduate student research, providing hands-on experience with semiconductor materials, device fabrication, characterization and energy research.

As artificial intelligence reshapes the future of work, students in the ASU School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of , are finding ways to step into the opportunities it creates.

This fall, Sanskar Srivastava is returning to the classroom as an Accelerated Master’s degree student in computer science while continuing an engineering internship at Microchip Technology Inc. In his role, he applies AI and machine learning skills in a semiconductor industry setting, gaining professional experience while continuing his education.

His path reflects how ASU students are turning coursework, research experience and faculty mentorship into career momentum. For Srivastava, AI might be changing the job market. But it is also helping him find his way into it.

At ASU and Microchip, Sanskar Srivastava is learning how AI skills can open doors in a changing workforce.

How can AI make construction safer while preparing students for a changing industry? researchers are using AI to identify risks of fatigue and heat stress in construction workers, then send them personalized, real-time alerts before symptoms start.
It’s one way researchers in the ASU School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment use AI to create solutions for industry construction challenges, and work together with industry professionals to prepare students for AI's role in their careers.

Construction faculty members work with industry to research AI impacts and prepare students for its use in construction.
