The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science
Minimum
Engineering offers world-class instruction within a major research university. Forging connections with Columbia’s scientific, business, and policy resources, SEAS faculty members work across disciplines. Engineering’s programs embrace innovative approaches to the world’s most urgent needs, from reversing global climate change to improving the built environment. Participating in breakthrough research and acquiring a broad grasp of societal issues through Columbia’s renowned Core Curriculum, students emerge to become leaders not only in engineering and technology but also in business, economics, and public policy.
Since unrestricted Annual Fund gifts from alumni and friends give the Dean the flexibility to respond quickly to emerging opportunities, they are vital to sustaining and enhancing the quality of the Engineering educational experience.
