ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY - IRA A. FULTON SCHOOLS OF ENGINEERING

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.

OUR SCHOOLS:

School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering; School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering; School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering; School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy; School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment; School of Arts, Media and Engineering; School of Earth and Space Exploration.

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.

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.
