Our Schools
In the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, our world-class faculty members lead academic and research programs focused on creating solutions to the grand challenges facing society. Students who share our focus on societal impact are immersed in this innovative educational environment, and complete undergraduate and graduate degrees that prepare them for careers of the future.
For more than 50 years, we have built a history of excellence in education and discovery, and we aspire to be an exemplar for engineering schools of the future. We have crafted the blueprint for a truly unique engineering school that transcends traditional organization around degrees and disciplines, and fosters a transdisciplinary approach to teaching and research.
