Ernie Schaeffer Center For STEM Education
Director’s Message
The Ernie Schaefer Center for STEM Education was established in 2008 and is housed in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at California State University, Northridge (CSUN).
The center’s primary goal is to provide CSUN students and faculty with opportunities in advanced, interdisciplinary, and experiential education and applied research and establish alliances with professional communities for success of student and faculty, specially, the underrepresented students and faculty.
I am honored to have taken over as the new director of the Ernie Schaefer Center for STEM Education and under my leadership some of visions for the Center include developing distinguished guest speaker series and applied research opportunities as well as further strengthening existing relationships with local businesses and organizations in the San Fernando Valley area.
Furthermore, the Ernie Schaefer Center is also working on developing collaborations with other centers and colleges to jointly work on external grants, curriculum development and collaborations for student projects and innovative research.
