Department Summary
The UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science includes more than 6,500 undergraduate and graduate students and 190 full-time faculty members. Established in 1945, UCLA Samueli is known as the birthplace of the internet, and where countless other fields took some of their first steps — from artificial intelligence to reverse osmosis, from mobile communications to human prosthetics. The school academic departments include Bioengineering, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, as well as the recently added Department of Computational Medicine, which is affiliated with both the David Geffen School of Medicine and Samueli. In addition, UCLA Samueli offers the Master of Science in Engineering Online program and a Master of Engineering professional degree program. In 2000, the engineering school was re-named in honor of alumnus Henry Samueli, following a $30 million gift that supported capital improvements as well as fellowships for graduate students and early career faculty. In 2019, Samueli and his wife Susan gave another gift of $100 million to support the school's expansion well into the next decade.

Position Summary
An Executive Director (ED) is required for the multi-year Transfer Pipeline program, which aims to support workforce development in California engineering sectors by developing partnerships between industry and academia that enhance the pipeline of engineering students that transfer from CA community colleges to CA 4-year institutions. The ED will recruit employers from engineering related industries to provide internships and financial support to promote the development and placement of a pool of qualified applicants from community colleges. These fees will gradually replace state funding to make the program self-sustaining. In establishing this program, the ED will work with both employers and community partners. The ED will also promote adoption of streamlined transfer pathways being developed in the same program. The ED will report program results to partners including community colleges and industry supporters, and to the California Learning Lab and the California Engineering Liaison Council. The ED will be supported by a dedicated administrative analyst for the program.
