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.
