Santa Clara University supports many externally funded projects across a wide range of program areas—from innovative research to high-impact community outreach and K-12 activities.
Some of the exciting initiatives taking place on our campus are:
Solar Decathlon
The first time SCU participated in the U.S. Department of Energy's international competition in 2007, the University finished third. This fall, the School of Engineering will once again enter the competition staged on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
We invite green corporations and organizations focused on environmental issues to join in this collaborative effort.
