About Noyce

The first interdisciplinary school of its kind at Cal Poly, the Noyce School of Applied Computing combines three departments — Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Software Engineering, and Computer Engineering, with Statistics joining as an affiliate. 

The $60 million gift from the Robert N. Noyce Trust, in honor of Intel-founder and Silicon Valley icon Robert Noyce, will have a transformational impact on the university, allowing for the establishment of an endowment that will fund the Noyce School’s operations in perpetuity and enable Cal Poly to offer state-of-the-art facilities, new interdisciplinary research, and curricular and co-curricular opportunities for faculty and students.
