The
University of Arizona (UA) is a land-grant and space-grant public
institution of higher education and research located in Tucson, Arizona.
The University of Arizona was the first university in the state of Arizona,
founded in 1885 when the state was still a territory. UA includes
Arizona's only medical school. In 2005, total enrollment was 37,036
students.
Among
the strongest programs at UA are optical sciences, astronomy and
astrophysics (the UA is awarded more NASA grants for space exploration
than any other university nationally), hydrology and hydrogeology,
philosophy, and anthropology. The UA also has a top tier law school, and
a top 20 undergraduate business school in the U.S., public or private.
Arizona
is classified as a Carnegie Foundation "Doctoral/Research
Universities—Extensive" university.
The
university receives more than $400 million USD annually in research
funding, generating nearly 75 % of the research dollars in the Arizona
university system. This figure is triple the total research funds
generated by Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University
combined [1],
and 26th highest in the U.S. (including public and private
institutions). The university has an endowment of $348.3 million USD as
of 2005 [2].
The
UA was recently awarded over $325 million USD to lead NASA's 2007
mission to Mars to explore the Martian arctic. The school's Lunar and
Planetary Laboratory's work in the Cassini
spacecraft orbit around Saturn is larger than that of any other
university globally. The UA laboratory designed and operated the
atmospheric radiation investigations and imaging on the probe [3].
The UA operates the HiRISE camera, a part of the Mars Reconnaissance
Orbiter.
The
current and 18th university president is Peter Likins, whose term began
in 1997. President Likins will vacate his post at the conclusion of the
2005-06 academic term. Dr. Robert Shelton will become the next president
at the school.

During
these competitions, students learn about solar panels, electric motors,
electronics, vehicle chassis, bodywork, aerodynamics, suspension, batteries
and how to solve practical problems during the design process, while working
as a team. It's demanding stuff and more fun that laying in bed
watching TV, where individuals may seek inspiration, but achieve very
little.
