Global engagement

Fulton Schools global initiatives and programs empower our students, faculty and staff to engage thoughtfully in an interconnected world through collaborative learning, innovative research and impactful service.

Why do we engage globally?

Foster research collaboration

Fulton Schools faculty translate research discoveries into real-world applications, driving innovation that addresses societal needs on a global scale.

Our mission

Guided by ASU’s Charter and Design Aspiration to “engage globally,” the Fulton Schools embraces a multi-faceted approach to global engagement that reflects its core values and aligns with well-defined goals and objectives:

Expand global engineering education

Expand global engineering education through a rigorous, flexible curriculum that increases access, fosters student success, cultivates global awareness, and deepens understanding of the complex and interdisciplinary nature of engineering challenges. Through study abroad programs, international internships, and cross-cultural community service, we prepare our graduates to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.

 

Expand international research collaboration and partnerships

Expand international research collaboration and partnerships with leading institutions around the world to tackle the most pressing challenges facing humanity. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and leveraging diverse perspectives, we aim to generate innovative solutions that transcend geographical boundaries.

Establish a network of sustainable, global and strategic partnerships

Establish a network of sustainable, global and strategic partnerships to advance shared goals in access and impact, translating research discoveries into real-world applications, driving meaningful innovation, and addressing societal needs on a global scale. By collaborating with diverse stakeholders, we maximize our impact and contribute to sustainable development worldwide.

TEDI-London

TEDI-London was founded through a strategic partnership between ASU, King’s College London and UNSW Sydney to rethink and redesign engineering education. TEDI-London offers innovative, project-driven degree programs in Global Design Engineering, adopting non-traditional approaches to engineering education. As a key strategic partner, TEDI-London helps advance ASU’s engineering expertise and supports a more inclusive vision for the future of the field.

TEDI-London to ASU Guarantee

TEDI-London BEng diploma recipients who earn a minimum GPA of 2:2 are guaranteed admission to ASU’s Fulton Schools of Engineering master’s programs.

Eligible programs:

  • Engineering, MEng (Global Outreach and Extended Education, or GOEE).
  • User experience, MS (The Polytechnic School, or TPS).

TEDI-London/Fulton Schools of Engineering Scholars Program

Through a selective process, top candidates to TEDI-London’s BEng programs will also receive admission to ASU Fulton Schools of Engineering Master’s programs.

Eligible ASU master’s programs: 

  • Construction management & technology, MS (School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, or SSEBE).
  • Management of technology, MS Tech; (The Polytechnic School, or TPS).
  • Manufacturing engineering, MS (School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks, or MSN).
  • Robotics and autonomous systems, MS (School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks, MSN).
  • Civil, environmental and sustainable engineering, MS (School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, or SSEBE).

*Admission to ASU’s graduate program is contingent on completion of ASU’s supplemented ULC courses with B or better grades as well as completion of TEDI-London’s BEng with a minimum GPA of 2:2.

TEDI-London summer experience

TEDI delivers a different kind of engineering education that takes a project-based, interdisciplinary global design approach. Participants in the summer program will contribute to projects that respond to real-life industry challenges (projects are co-designed and delivered with employers). To find additional information or apply for this program, visit the TEDI-London program information page on the ASU Global Education Office website.

TEDI capstone at ASU

This program supports TEDI students who wish to work on capstones projects at Fulton Schools during a semester session. ASU will host its first cohort of TEDI students in spring 2025.

Global impact

The Fulton Schools are designed as the engineering college of the future, simultaneously increasing access to enhance student success and achieving excellence in use-inspired research.

The Fulton Schools’ global impact is immense and growing as learners worldwide access ASU’s renowned faculty through innovative distance education formats.
