Mission

The mission of Columbia Engineering (The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science) is to expand knowledge and advance technology through research, while educating students to become leaders and innovators informed by an engineering foundation. Enriched with the intellectual resources of a global university in the City of New York, we push disciplinary frontiers, confront complex issues, and engineer innovative solutions to address the grand challenges of our time. We create a collaborative environment that embraces interdisciplinary thought, creativity, integrated entrepreneurship, cultural awareness, and social responsibility, and advances the translation of ideas into innovations that impact humanity.
