Vision

vision

Leading Engineering Discovery and Innovative Education for Global Impact on Quality of Life.
We seek to produce new engineers as well as discoveries and technologies focused on research to enhance the quality of life in the U.S. and beyond.  For example, we strive to help the blind to see and the paralyzed to walk. We develop new computing methods and biomedical tools to understand disease and improve human health. We seek to provide safe and sustainable water supplies, create alternative energy sources and make electronic communication ubiquitous and secure. We strive to design safer and more energy-efficient transportation systems, help businesses optimize operations, and build our houses, businesses and society's basic infrastructure in more cost-effective and environmentally sustainable ways.

mission

Provide an Environment Rich in Transdisciplinary Research, Education, Entrepreneurship, and Leadership Resulting in Successful Engineers and Technologies that Benefit Society.
We provide each student with a strong foundation in a specific discipline and encourage them to individualize their education through entrepreneurial courses and opportunities, research and discovery, cross-discipline exploration, internships, and professional society activities. Fulton Engineers are distinguished by their transdisciplinary mind-set, their understanding of the societal implications of their decisions, and their potential for success in non-traditional engineering careers. Our discovery and technology development activities are use-inspired and increasingly transdisciplinary, teaming engineers with artists, policy analysts, psychologists, economists and medical clinicians. We expect our engineers to be leaders in supporting the ideas behind this vision and mission.
