College of Engineering and Computer ScienceThe College of Engineering and Computer Science has
extensive research programs funded by business, industry and
government. Leading these initiatives is the Center for Ocean
Energy Technology, which explores innovations that will
extract energy from the ocean’s Gulf Stream current.
This research initiative involves many of the Engineering and
Computer Science disciplines and is just one of the many
projects establishing the groundwork for innovation and
technology. The college now calls a 97,000-square-foot, LEED
platinum-level building “home.” The building was
designed to achieve platinum-level certification — the
highest in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) standards from the U.S. Green Building Council. The
building is the first in a new engineering complex on the
Boca Raton campus and will be a living/learning laboratory
for sustainable development, featuring all areas and
disciplines of the college. The data collected by different
sensor technologies embedded throughout the building such as
photovoltaic (solar) energy created, energy consumed,
geothermal well water temperatures and temperature indicators
will be used to teach, learn and observe. All of the
collected information will reinforce the groundwork for new
innovation and technology to be fostered within the college.
