On top of the world’s largest outdoor shake table, UC San Diego structural engineers construct
buildings and then shake them—hard. Our Jacobs School of Engineering is home to the only
structural engineering department in the nation where professors and students uncover ways to

UC San Diego is ranked sixth in the nation in receiving federal research and development funding.
