Recognizing the impact San Jose State students and faculty members have on the campus community, the region and the world through their research, 菠菜网lol正规平台 has made research a top priority. San Jose State's research endeavors play a critical role in preparing graduate and undergraduate students, who work side by side with faculty mentors. With $60 million in annual research, 菠菜网lol正规平台 is a top-200 school nationally in terms of research spending. The university's students and faculty members apply their inherent creativity and diversity of thought and experience to a range research—from wildfire weather, Mexican philosophy and ultra compact dwarf galaxies to water delivery devices, high-performance computing and Silicon Valley culture. Some of our major programs include the Mineta Transportation Institute, Moss Landing Marine Labs and human factors research at NASA.
