Silicon Valley
Baskin Engineering conducts classes, career training, and professional development programs at the Silicon Valley Center, located in the NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field in Mountain View, California. Tracks include product management, technology and commerce, data mining, reliability engineering, advanced device engineering, and network engineering.
Facilities
The 212-seat Baskin Engineering Auditorium and Engineering 2 building, a 150,000-square-foot (14,000 m2) space, were completed for occupancy in the summer of 2004. The Physical Sciences Building provided additional space for biomolecular engineering programs and groundbreaking for a new Biomedical Sciences Building in 2010.
