Four of the five top awards presented at the American Society for Engineering and Education Pacific Southwest Section, or ASEE PSW, annual conference this April went to faculty and students from the University of California, Davis, College of Engineering.

In December, Cube³ Lab welcomes its new member, Angelika Tamura. Angelika participated in our November faculty lunches with Dr. Yamada and gained interest in engineering education and community building. Angelika will work on organizing the faculty lunches as well as laying down the groundwork for our new gender equity project (a secret for now!).

Congratulations to our cubicle Tiffany Chan, who has just secured a share of the Fall 2023 Travel Award offered by the Undergraduate Research Center at UC Davis. The travel awards enable undergraduate students to present their research work in regional and national conferences.

Cube³ is staying productive in the 2023. Dr. Wang will be presenting a poster titled "Infusing A Biomedical Engineering Machine Learning Course with DEI Content" in 2023 Scholarship of Learning and Teaching Conference held at UC Davis. We will be presenting during Poster Session A, 11:00-11:30AM on Friday, December 1.

Big congratulations to our cubicles, Tiffany Chan and Tate Chatfield! The work titled "Initial investigation of student-faculty micro-interactions on students’ sense of belonging through organized student-faculty lunches" has been accepted by 2023 Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Annual Meeting. Cube³ will be presenting our poster at 3:30-4:30pm on Friday, 10/13, in Seattle, WA. If you will be going to BMES 2023, please stop by and check us out!

The Cube³ Lab's leader and mentored students have received awards during the past academic year.

Lab leader awards:

Dr. Xianglong Wang has received the 2023 Biomedical Engineering Excellence in Teaching Award. Coverage through Center for Neuroengineering and Medicine: Center Faculty Recognized for Teaching Excellence | Neuroengineering at UC Davis

Mentored student awards:

The research output of the Cube³ has been recently disseminated in national and international conferences.

The Cube³ lab recently welcomed the first class of cubicles.

Tiffany Chan is a second-year undergraduate student in BME. and Tate Chatfield is a third-year undergraduate student in BME. They will be working on facilitating micro-interactions between faculty and undergraduate students.

Welcome Tiffany and Tate to Cube³, and we will do our best to build a close-knit BME community!
