What is ARCS?
The Autonomy Research Center for STEAHM (ARCS) is a NASA-sponsored Center of Excellence combining the multidisciplinary, university-wide knowledge and talent of faculty and students from CSUN, including Science (S), Technology and Engineering (T), Entrepreneurship and Business (E), Arts (A), Humanities (H) and Mathematics (M).
Our vision is to be a global leader in education, research and commercialization of increasingly autonomous (IA) systems. We converge in our desire to research and advance our students’ education and together uncover new trajectories to make a societal impact and improve our world.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Ashley Santiago
Raytheon Intelligence & Space, Technical Support Intern/JPL Contractor
“I wanted to join ARCS because of my prior experience with AI and my love for space. It has helped me learn that there definitely are projects that utilize design and that designers are needed even in a STEM environment. Being at ARCS made me realize that my new goal is to connect the bridge between art & design and STEM and continue spreading design knowledge and the importance of design. Thanks to ARCS, I ended up receiving an internship opportunity to use my user experience and research skills as a designer for the International GNSS Service at NASA JPL.”
